The rear is so ugly that it may be better. In the basic A7 has a front drive, which in this class of cars is absurd. You can feel that Audi has a lot in common with Volkswagen
Hey Matt the next time you're in San Francisco, think about taking the Pacific Coast Highway to the Redwood National Park it's a long drive almost to the border with Oregon but the roads are fantastic and you can see some of the oldest trees in the world. The performance looks like an awesome car and the drive would put its handling, and braking prowess to the test.
@@BryanW916 You're right and not as far as my suggestion, I was born in Woodside Ca. My parents moved to New York when I was eight so I didn't grow up out there most of my family still live in Northern California so I come back for visits that's how I know about the State.
I came here to say this! Some of the worlds best driving roads are within an hour of San Francisco and Mat avoided them all while mocking the boring city streets he drove on. Highway 9, 17, 35 (Skyline Blvd), 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) heck even 280 is a fun drive. There are endless fun mountain roads in the area.
@@_A-A_ You're right, he acted like a tourist you would think he would do some research before coming here. Most of these car companies load the GPS with routes to showcase their cars in the best light. Matt your drag racing videos are boring do something else.
If it's anything like the C7 RS7 the bhp figure you will get from an ECU tune will be identical whether you have a standard or a performance version of the RS7. So unless you love the blue stitching, blue raw carbon, alcantara trim inserts and the forged wheels, save yourself £20k, buy the normal version and tune it. Assuming the normal one is still available, I understand in certain markets it has been withdrawn and performance edition is all you can get.
Great to see Mat and carwow now shooting videos all over the globe. The golden gate bridge is a piece of art just like that Audi RS7 in that colour too.
Brilliant Matt. Getting to drive a new Audi RS7 Performance for free and tour San Francisco and probably writing it off as a business expense to do this review is next level genius. I envy you!
As someone who lives in San Francisco you guys really missed out on some amazing scenic twisty roads to film on and test the car. What’s sad is you guys were not too far away from them either but probably just didn’t know where to go.
I had the exact same thoughts. I live in marina district and am 15 mins from some epic driving roads in Marin. I’m lucky enough to have a corvette c8 and rip through the canyons all the time. You just gotta know where to go!
Love the Individual Car Reviews! You should drive it here in Germany on the Autobahn but i'm glad you got invited to test it in San Franciso, even if you got Limits there, still great looking Environment! I just saw one of these 2 Days ago here on the Autobahn with Dealership Plates and It not only sounded better than i expected and was passing me effortless while i was driving 200km/h (120mph) so the Driver drove probably 220-230km/h (136mph-142mph) Prost & Cheers from Frankfurt, Germany
This video echoes "innovation". A new approach by Matt to reviewing cars, innovative takes such as the gradient tests, interior review while on the move and visiting popular places in San Francisco while doing so...pretty clever Carwow, retains your audience and keeps them captivated by your innovation 😊
@carwow, FYI If you park in SF on a "hill street", you have to turn the front wheels to make an angle with the street. In case parking brake fails, the car will not "stampede" downhill but the front wheels will be blocked by walk path curb.
This is gold and truly illustrates what it’s like to live with a sports car. This is why I’ve shifted a bit more towards 4x4s. At least in Colorado I can use my 4x4 to its full potential.
05:30= An excellent/FANTASTIC test in which we can see how much resistance the new Audi has given the parameters: = wheel/tire width and = weight of the car, which is increased due to the slope!!! The aerodynamics of the car are fantastic!
I didn’t realize the RS7 (or regular A7 for that matter) could get any more beautiful. The little details on the performance package (especially the wheels!) make this the most attractive sedanishkindofthing on the market.
I though you were going to test how long it would take until someone would smash the car window to steal your stuff, lol. Gotta love that SF quality of life.
My buddy has an 18’ RS7 basically stock with the optional exhaust and all I can say is holy hell it will dust anything off the line was easy eating hell cats & vettes imma fan man
Absolutely great Car & technology!! Awesome design and custom choice with Audi exclusive. Only one precision the interior is not Alcantara material but another microfiber. You can find it in the configurator.
I work in Financial district of sf and drive a wrx sti, not once has it ever been broken into in the 5 years ive been here. Fox news really got people living their lives in paranoia afraid to live their life, sad really
For the first time .... I am the first to right a comment and I wanted to thank you CARWOW.. for all that they have done for us and provided us with all the information about cars.. thank you for your great work.... LOVE THE RS7 by the way.....
4:26 Mat says the 0-25mph time is 2.81 seconds when the display clearly shows 25-0mph. The actual time is about 7 seconds, starts rolling at 4:16 and reaches 25mph at 4:23.
If you're testing in San Francisco, make sure to check the breaking force of the windows as you'll inevitably get robbed. Also, how do the seats deal with fecal matter? Does it wipe right off or smear? Finally, one can steal up to $900 of merchandise from a store in San Francisco without any real repercussions. How much merchandise can I fit in the trunk?
6:00 I do love the ironic dichotomy of parking something new and improved right in front of SF city hall, a place where nothing gets done to improve the city.
Absolutely gorgeous colour on that, and I love the blue brake calipers, but I strongly prefer the design of the last generation RS6 and RS7. The new ones just don't look that good to me.
Wow! The Audi survived unscathed. No dialing 311. Nothing stolen by the zombies. No last second jail walkers crossing paths, no Meter Maids ambushes, and you found a parking space while going out to dinner. You did good.👍
Good point , seeing as an estimated 3-5% ( closer to 2-3% in Dec 21) of world population owns crypto. To grow to 1B in year would be amazing! However, with the current state of things , zthat growth might be low estimate the US/USD , continue to debase, etc have been and continue worsening.
I think it’s brilliant to use brokerage advisor for investing! Prior to speaking with an advisor I was actually suffering an investing nightmare during the economic crash in March 2020. In summary, with the help of my advisor, I have so far grown my initial $120k investment to over $550k
I’d recommend investing in good projects after DYOR and DCA rather than going all in at once to ensure a good average. I don’t buy /trade just for the sake of it ,instead I sought the advice of a fiduciary financial advisor, *Jessica Katherine Ellis* who guides me through the process, I made £70,000 profits in my portfolio in Q2 2022
Being a stickler here, but when you park a car on a steep street in SF the law says you have to angle the wheels into the curb in case of runaways. It's happened!
Last time I went to San Francisco I was confronted with closed, boarded up stores, homeless people everywhere, the smell of urine, and garbage all over, and almost stepped on a used drug needle on the sidewalk…..twice. I did not feel safe walking around. Sad to see the city in that terrible state. Perhaps it has to continue it’s fall to rock bottom, before someone, something turns things around?!?!
Let's remove the soundproofing and charge more with the excuse that rawness is sport. We don't mind if the road causes noise inside the cockpit. Audi being Audi.
Instead of maintaining roads properly, just slap a low speed limit on them, how ingenious is that? With the added benefit of people having to fly whenever they want to cover any significant distances... Gotta love these Americans...
