I absolutely love the shape of this car. The rear end looks incredible.

I like the one take format, it can actually be easier to listen to, kind of more like a real conversation. Nice review Matt.

15 miles- 150 miles an hour if u didn't know now you know

Being an auto journalist seems so fantastic you get to travel to all these places and drive all these beautiful cars. I would be interested in seeing a day in the life video of Matt Farah.

That specific engine, which RS7 use, produce exactly 609hp when put on a dyno test. On paper it says 560hp. Do the math - that "car" is a street killer.

And may i say Mr Farah in my eye's you are rapidly approaching the BEST auto journalist / broadcaster on the planet. Your like a 2014 Clarkson, perhaps not as dry, or comedic, but you have a effortless class that grows with each and every video you make. Chris Harris all them mans, they're cool and all but he doesn't improve one iota, while you're the future of auto TV. You some how say only what is required with out all the camera eyeballing facial gestures and over elaborate paraphrasing. In short, you're fresher than all the rest. Oh and as for all the BMW fan boy haters? welcome to Audi, engineering SUPREMACY.

Sick car, I love rear lights ^^

That shadow on the passenger seat looks like Wall-E is staring at him from the hood of the car.

Like your one take videos. Gives us all the emotion of driving the car. Maybe not all the numbers but they are easy to get on hundreds of other places. But the emotion of driving the car is the one most people want to know and you do a good job of describing that. Feels like we are in the car with you.

It's hard to comprehend just how fast from 0 to 60 it is for such a big car. Awesome job Matt.

Your videos always put a smile on my face Matt. Thanks for another ballin' One Take!

Oh, and if 560 HP isn't enough for you, with just an APR ECU upgrade you can have 674 HP on pump gas! And let me tell you, the RS7 is quite brutal after that upgrade.

I like these 'one take' reviews! Keep it up Farah

Extraordinary closing shot; Nevada mountains in the back ground. A nice production.

Yay, more one takes! Keep em coming!

Massive respect to Matt for not being biased toward different car manufacturers.

Audi always underrates that is why I like them

Once again another great review Matt.

$6k stereo. My car is worth $6k. Brb gonna go sell my car

Wow, the ending shots through the valley were amazing! Awesome review, although having an older Audi in the past, i am terrified of the electronics in the car.

Another great review, Matt.

Matt, you did an awesome job. Keep the videos coming.

Those gorgeous Audi seats are made by an Austrian company, with one of their plants in Slowenia, called Boxmark. And they are really amazing and high quality build. Nice done!

driving a rs7 at that road DREAM!!!!!

Great review, Matt. Your are always good. Thanks.

Matt, You are a true car guy. Enough said.

Great job Matt ! keep them coming

Nice review Matt.

another jewel, thanks again Matt...

I just seen this yesterday at the Detroit Auto Show in Blue and I love it. Great car and nice video.

The fact that Matt can do this in a take makes me think about how good of a journalist he is.

got my sub man, great review. held me to the screen right until the last second.

I love that dash so much I got it in my S4, epic car, Audi is a win for sure!

The first time I saw that pinstripe in that car (sadly not yet in person), I thought to myself "Finally, an engineer that has a little style." I'm also glad a manufacture let their design/engineer have a little creative freedom. However, like you described, it probably wowed them once they sat in the car and saw it for the first time.

There's not many people I like to watch reviewing cars only ones are the Jeremy Clarkson Richard Hammond and James may but you are definitely up there with your videos there is a perfection in your videos that anyone has to respect

Great review Farah!

Amazing video! Great job! & car.

You compared it to an M5 and an E63 AMG but I believe this car actually goes up against the M6 and CLS 63 AMG. Either way I love this car. Too bad I'm not rich lol.

Matt you are a great car journalist!

I'm sitting here waiting for a mention on that sexy fastback, I'm just crazy about it.

I freaken love this guy's reviews.

nice work matt.

Was actually just drooling over this yesterday at the dealer while I was waiting to try an S4. Amazing car, could only imagine how It drives, but I didn't have the bank roll to try that one out

man i love this chanle so much you are amazing matt..keep going man and i agree with you about m5 and s6 v10 engines they are simply legendary...also the big boy N/A v8 merc.

Great format it inspired me :,)

Great review

Awesome job sharing that vicious ass RS7 with us Farah! Now there are rumors of a blue one and a white one both with APR stickers on them down here in Auburn, but I haven't ACTUALLY laid eyes them. I don't know if Stephen and the guys at APR have worked their "magic" on these two, but I can def find out. Be interesting to see what they've done to them. I've only actually seen the black APR S7 floating around here.

Thanks, Matt. Love the caption at 7:21. ;-)

That's a proper "normal" car review... So much better than the 3 minutes vids (I don't count the intro and the incredibly long outro) we get on TEST/Drive... Maybe if they followed this type of format, giving a bit more freedom of commentating to the host, Drive would make it a bit more interesting to review a Prius or a Diesel VW...

Well done Matt. Too bad we don't get the ultimate 4 ring iteration here stateside... the RS6 Avant. Great review.

Thanks, Matt! I think I would go for the visceral!

The king is back

I pulled up next to one of these on our local roads in traffic, not knowing what it was.....glad we were in traffic and that he/she, turned into the mall. I'd be eating tons of humble pie right now!

This car is just pure awesome.

Probably one of the best to come from TST in awhile IMO. Only thing I was looking forward to though was Matt's comparison to, say something like the CLS63, but it never came to that. Future video perhaps?

I sat in one of these about 2 days ago at an Audi dealer and those seats were so nice. Sure does beat my dad's 2010 Carolla.

Matt Please try to talk to the guys at Drive to do car reviews like you do. Good information without being too detailed and good comparison with some opinions of likes and dislikes about the car! Great Job Matt

congratulations on becoming a professional driver farah!

Amazing. Stunning!

It sounds like he is saying the as tested price is 420,000 dollars but he is actually saying "for 120,000" well that confused me.

Briggs and stratton exhaust note? Nice car.. Saw one at Sacramento raceway back in November. He was turning 12.5's consistantly

love that sound

Love the ending!

In case anyone wants to know: the background song is Equivalence of Two Worlds by Instrumental Core :)

the 8 speed transmission sounds just like a dual clutch when you change gears, did you find the dual clutch to be THAT much better or is the difference negligible? id almost prefer the 8 speed for highway cruising, and to be honest, the shifts sound just as fast. Thanks for the video Matt, one love, keep up the good work. i'm loving all of the one takes, if you ever come up to Canada id be more then happy to let you take the mk5 gti with apr stage 2 for a cruise =).

I've seen this ten times, damn I love this car

this feels like an audi funded review lol, those shots at the end are fucking gorgeous, looking straight out of a commercial

i think matt farah and mike musto are two of the best american automotive journalists.

last minute stock audi footage with disclaimer....? you guys crack me up.

My dream car! 😍

would be interested to know if you like the RS7 more than the red panamera you tested a little while back?? great video by the way

360 quality!

Hey Matt, I was just wondering how did you learn about the turbo position at hot side and the lag/throttle response stuff. I want to learn cool knowledge like that too!

I love Matt!

RS7 is far better looking than the s8

this is the coolest four door currently available

Matt, no one can travel 180 MPH "in total safety". That's over 260 ft/sec, almost a whole football field. Anyway, nice review, please keep them coming.

Hi Matt. Great review. How do you find the shift delay? I mean from pressing paddles to actual shift. Im shocked over the delay on AMGs takes away the feel.

Bravo Matt

I rented one of these recently. It was a monster, and surprisingly better handling that the RS6. It gets ridiculously bad gas mileage, though, as you would expect. Worth it for ripping through the Angeles Crest with the windows down.

Huge Matt fan

I would rather just get the RS7 because of the look on the back.

Rs7, sounds great but here in Canada my buddy just bought an e63 AMG for 127000 and that's Canadian dollars. I drove it twice once before it's computer controlled break in period and it moves. Last week my friend brought the car by and told me as soon as the car hit the break in cycle for the motor the car changed all of the settings and we found out that during the the break in settings car started off the line in second gear. Now that is ridiculous. Point of this is the e63 has 720 wheel horse. I am a lover of Audi and BMW but point goes to Mercedes for this year. I'm really digging the horsepower wars here in North America but now in Asia and Europe. Long live turbo AWD! Love your show!

I thought that was one of his better pieces I've ever seen

Nice video

Absolutely love this car. See them in my area and they drive me bonkers everytime I seem them. But I still think the 2003 RS6 is my favorite RS that we got in the state's with the RS7 in second place and the B5 S4 avant is my favorite S with the D2 S8 in second place.

Good review. Pretty good for one take. Matt you are an excellent presenter. A show like TOP GEAR USA would be lucky to have you. Keep up the good work. :?)

Matt, I always think that if Top Gear America had you on board, it'd had done well. Instead, they have those guys who just love to wax poetic, thinking they impress us with their ability to contemplate. Morons. Rock on, brother. You and the guys from motortrend - the Roadkill guys - are the best car guys on the net.

l love how the rear end looks!

Nice machine. Nice new shirt.

Matt Farah is the realist. No other automotive journalist compares IMHO.

Really love the last couple of clips of the car at the end. I mention this because I can't find one thing bad about the car, so why not talk about the camera shots?

Hey Matt, did Audi of America invite you to drive the RS7 for a TV commercial? Those last few shots are so high-end.

The RS7 looks realy cool

I think you need to take a trip back down to APR in Alabama and drive one of these with a tune.728HP and 744 TQ on 100 octane, there will be even more once they get the cats out for stage 2.

and all thanks to lovely turbos.

You could give me some tips on braking? I'm starting to drive now.

The E55 amg was the predecessor to this fine machine. That car was the example that most performance care nowadays took after. it was the top dog during mid 2000s and still destroys 90% of cars out there. long live the hammer.

I see what you did there... well there's 10 mph, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 mph. Awesome!

15 mph! That's fast!! :D
