I noticed it on mine. Looks like a sharpie signature under the hood on the frame. Just curious if this is standard operating procedure for Audi quattro GmbH division? Thanks for the feedback.

Ours is signed by the same guy as well. I'm going to find out who this person is and what exactly his role is in the production of this car. Our dealer principle had a contact at quattro GmbH and send an email. I'm just curious that's all. More than likely an inspection guy I assume?

Very interested as well. I wish quattro GmbH had a more public facing engagement with those of us who buy these RS cars.

We just looked at all 3 RS7's that are here at TAG, and they all have it.

So cool :)

As far as "why" goes, all I can come up with is that a master always signs his masterpiece.

Mine was signed too. I heard from my guy that it was the signature of the guy who painted the red accent on the engine cover but not sure what that person's role is. Maybe a lead tech of the team that assembled our cars?
