2022 Audi RS 7 Exclusive Edition produced in a limited edition of just 23 units
The 2022 Audi RS 7 is now available in an exclusive edition with unique design elements. The name is appropriate since production will be limited to just 23 units. Deliveries are expected to begin later this summer.
According to an Audi press release, the limited edition fastback will feature Mamba Black Pearl Effect paint with "blue undertones." The dark theme will continue with the standard Black Optic package, which adds black exterior badging, and the Carbon Optic package, which includes a carbon fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser, and mirrors.
The RS 7 Exclusive Edition will also feature Audi's laser-lit headlights and model-exclusive 22-inch wheels with summer performance tires. The Exclusive Edition also comes standard with a sport exhaust system and carbon ceramic brakes.
The interior features black leather and Dinamica seat upholstery with Sepang Blue contrast stitching. In addition to the seats, the Extended Leather Package adds the same material to the door armrests, center console, upper door panels, and upper dashboard.
The current RS 7 debuted in the 2021 model year and is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that produces 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. According to Audi, this V-8 engine will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, launching the RS 7 from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 190 mph. These are impressive numbers, but on my first drive, I found the current RS 7 to be less playful than previous versions.
Pricing for the 2022 Audi RS 7 Exclusive Edition starts at $166,495 including destination. This is a $47,900 premium over the base model RS 7.
