New RS7 owner

[enzotcat]

Heya all

Long time lurker, long time Audi owner (2 x S4, 2 x A6 allroad), and now a new RS7 owner. Just went in today and completed the entire transaction from start to finish, and am now the proud owner of a new Nardo Gray RS7.

Here it is in the showroom.

Beautiful car! Congrats. You can't go wrong with Nardo. Is that a 2024 or 2025?

Thanks. It's a 2024 model - I got a great deal on it. It's actually CPO and had a grand total of 211 miles on it (no, that's not a typo). The previous owner got it to play with while his GT3RS was being built. Turns out it didn't drive it much. Bose advanced sound, sport package, and about to get the matrix headlights properly activated via europrice.

Not sure why I couldn't embed the link for the image properly ...

Good for you…… I know dealers are offering some significant discounts on 2024 RS6 and RS7s sitting on their showroom floors. It’s always great when you actually feel like you’re getting a good deal. Too often buyers are overpaying for these RS models.

I basically got $10k off new MSRP and wound up with an extra year of warranty. Very satisfied with the deal, and they gave me a very fair price on my trade-in. I am totally over the moon about it. A case of "right place, right time", and I've been working with them for 12 years and various car purchases, so they cut me some slack.

Congrats on the new ride.

Gorgeous!!! You will be very happy long term! I am still loving my 2021 RS7 that I picked up 4 years ago. Its been solid so far.

I just finished the 1st 100 miles with the RS7. For comparison, I also have a 991.2 model 911 Carrera S that has been modified - GTS turbos, tune, Tractive DDA suspension with 110/160 springs, porsche motorsports lower control arms, TPC racing wide track front kit, TPC racing upper control arms, Tarrett Engineering rear lower camber arms, Elephant racing spherical bearings to replace all of the rubber bushings, AP Racing 380mm rotors all around, AP Racing Radi-CAL calipers. It's a manual transmission beast with about 560 wheel horsepower. It's also over 1,000lb lighter than the RS7. I've tracked it fairly extensively.

My initial verdict: The RS7 is astonishingly good. It's like the Jekyll to the 911's Hyde. A suave, sophisticated heavyweight boxer dressed in a $5,000 Armani suit, whereas the 911 is the same boxer in the ring, primed to fight. The Audi doesn't want to get blood on it's white starched cuffs, but the 911 is ready to beat the living hell out of you, and get bloody. Both are supremely capable. I'd give the edge to the 911 on the track any day of the week, but damned if I wouldn't take the Audi on a night out on the town with some midnight drag racing thrown in for good measure. I'd look back longingly at the 911 sitting in the garage, and promise that I'd be back on track with it soon, and then tear around town in the RS7. Both are amazing cars. I feel extremely lucky this weekend (got the RS7 2 days ago).

Beautiful! Congrats and enjoy for many miles in the best of health! Sounds like one helluva great deal

I’m also a fan of Nardo.
