German automaker Audi has announced US pricing information for the 2014 RS7, the most powerful RS model ever introduced in North America. Developed to rival BMW’s M6 Gran Coupe and Mercedes’ CLS63 AMG, the all-new RS7 will hit US dealerships with prices starting at $104,900, not including the $895 destination fee.
As we previously mentioned, the 2014 Audi RS7 comes with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter TFSI V8 engine under the hood, which delivers 560 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. The amazing amount of power enables the vehicle to reach 60 mph from a standing start in only 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 174 miles per hour.
Styling is obviously impressive now that the flowing coupe design of the A7 was enhanced by sportier body parts, such as new bumpers, rear diffuser, and elliptical tailpipes. The aggressiveness of the RS7 is reflected in the cabin as well, where a three-spoke perforated sport steering wheel, sports seats wrapped in Valcona leather and several RS-badged features have been fitted.
The all-new 2014 Audi RS7 is expected to arrive in North American showrooms this fall.
