Luxury car maker Audi launches RS 7 Sportback

Audi India is truly flexing its muscles in India. The German luxury car manufacturer which clocked sales of 10,000 units in 2013 in India, has now introduced the sporty Audi RS 7 Sportback in the country. The sporty five-door coupé is undoubtedly the most powerful Audi in its existing range in India and is priced at Rs 1,28,56,000 (ex-showroom Mumbai). This powerful biturbo V8 was unveiled by Joe King, Head, Audi India and is available at all Audi dealerships across India.

“We started the year with the historic achievement of becoming the first-ever luxury car manufacturer to achieve sales of 10,000 units in a year, and now we follow it up with another momentous step - introduction of the most powerful Audi model from our product range - Audi RS 7 Sportback in India. Embodying our philosophy of “Vorsprung durch Technik”, the Audi RS 7 Sportback is Audi’s superlative illustration of sportiness, progressiveness and sophistication- combining the strengths of a large, five-door coupé and a sportscar.  After the overwhelming response to our Audi RS 5 which further boosted our leadership in the luxury sportscar segment in India, we are confident that the Audi RS 7 Sportback with its aesthetic design and impressive sportiness would establish new benchmarks in the performance sportscar segment in India.” said          King.

The abbreviation “RS” represents many things: the most powerful engine within a model line, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the pinnacle of dynamic performance, an understated look and comprehensive everyday practicality. Bollywood star Salman Khan became the first customer of the car in the country. Salman Khan was handed over the car by Joe King at a press conference in Mumbai.
