    New Audi RS7 Sportback launched: All you need to know

    German luxury car manufacturer Audi has launched the second-generation Audi RS7 Sportback in India at a price of Rs 1.94 crore. For the first time, the RS7 Sportback has been introduced in wide-bodied five-seat version. The company further offers a wide range of personalisation options to suit individual taste. The customer deliveries will commence in August 2020.

    The newly launched Audi RS7 Sportback is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo TFSI petrol engine that generates 591bhp of power and 800Nm of torque. The vehicle also gets a Mild Hybrid System (MHEV) with a 48-volt main onboard electrical system. The company claims that the belt alternator starter can recover up to 16bhp of power under gentle acceleration and feed it into a lithium-ion battery as electricity.

Depending on traction, up to 70 per cent drive force can be diverted to the front wheels and up to 85 per cent to the rear wheels. The wheel-selective torque control optimises handling through bends and provides power to the wheels that need it when cornering.

It can be increased to 280kmph with the optional dynamic package and to 305kmph with the RS dynamic plus package.
