Audi RS 7 Performance Overview
Audi’s RS 7 has been tracked across 13 independently verified tests spanning 2014 to 2025, defining it as a high-output fastback sedan built around straight-line pace. The first-generation 4G8 (2014–2018) launched with a twin-turbo 4.0T V8 in CRDB/4.0T form, with output ranging from 560 to 674 hp across the tested set. Early results established the car’s baseline: the 2014 Base Sedan reached 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, while the 2014 Prestige Sedan recorded 3.3 seconds. At the top of that era, the 2014 APR Stage 1 Sedan set the model’s quickest verified launch at 2.9 seconds to 60 mph and ran the quarter-mile in 11.0 seconds at 129 mph.
After the 4G8 run, the second-generation 4K8 (2021–present) shifted the RS 7 into a hybridized performance phase, with tested output ranging from 591 to 621 hp. In this period, the 2021 Sportback Sedan posted 3.1 seconds to 60 mph, and the 2024 Performance Sportback Sedan was measured at 3.7 seconds. The current benchmark comes from the 2025 Performance Sportback Sedan, which matches the all-time best with a 2.9-second 0-60 run. Today, the RS 7 remains a gasoline-to-hybrid evolution centered on sub-4-second acceleration and consistent low-11-second quarter-mile capability.

How we verify Audi RS 7 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi RS 7 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
