I am planning on picking up an S7 tomorrow....phantom black pearl....innovation package, black leather interior, carbon fiber inlays basically everything but BnO. I love it.....However, I can't stop watching the RS7 video on youtube with this car in Matte Daytona Grey. Honestly, the 560HP I know I am not even going to use never been to a track once. I plan on changing that. Anyways... The reason I am contemplating between the two is because I love the diamond stitching in the S7 seats, I am not too fond of the hexagon stitching in the RS7. Also, quite frankly I even like the quad exhaust more on the S models than the RS. So I am weighing out looks. Just one thing...that bumper on the RS7 with the vents is BEAUTIFULLLL. But, I like the S7 grille more. I heard that supposedly a euro spec RS5 bumper fits a USA S5...do you think an eurospec RS7 bumper will fit a S7?? If that's the case I'm sold on the S7 and I'm gonna matte wrap it. Any news?

Nice dilemma to have. I would be fairly certain that the bumper and/or grill from the RS7 will bolt right in. The S6/7 are pretty quick right out of the box (I just ran a 12.3 @ 112 mph at our recent street legal night).

Don't see why it wouldn't fit. As for the tail pipes, aftermarket exhaust or just exhaust tips can change that look. But those changes would be the same as changing out the seats aftermarket for the stitching. But I'm thinking the seats will be harder to come by than a grill and exhaust. Plus, RS7 is more exclusive. I'd go with that personally, if they are bringing it to the states.

Awesome!...Would you put a RS6 bumper on your S6? Those air vents on the bumper are everything....or is it just me?

I already contacted alex at europrice about this, and he is not sure if the swap would be possible. He said it is too soon to know and needs to test and confirm it.

If you can find a dealer with an allocation RS7 hands down. Or pick up the S7 and trade it in/sell in or when the RS7 comes in if your sold on the S7 keep it..
Dealers wont have a problem getting rid of an RS7... Just my .02... Either one will be a blast...
