Oh good, another RS Audi to the million that already exist, and where are the arches?

quattro GmbH are dead to me.

I like it, though I'm not so sure about the side skirts, which look a tad aftermarketish (not a word, I know..) to me.

RS = arches. No arches, so this isn't RS.

The A/RS7 is a great looking car from behind, but that front end is a total mess. The interior also reminds me of an E46 330ci in vader black...never a good thing! I think it's the slabby, upright dash. Flat bottomed steering wheel too...who actually likes these things? Even on track cars they are useless compared to a proper wheel, even when really going for it with fixed inputs. On a car like this, which frankly, I wouldn't bother taking to a track? It should be optimised for fast road use.

Talking about RS arches I have to agree that some of the new RS models are
somewhat bland in their design.

But I must say that I like the direction they have gone with the new RS4 Avant
arches ....... looks very Quattro...ish.

The RS7 DOES apparently have a widened body - this is from Audi UK's website HERE -

‘RS’ design body-styling

From its distinctive single-frame grille with honeycomb-look styling to the titanium styling package exterior mirrors, the Audi RS 7 Sportback has the hallmarks of belonging to the Audi RS bloodline. With a widened body, featuring sill extensions harking back to the original Audi quattro, and newly designed front and rear bumpers, incorporating the customary dual branch oval tailpipes, the styling leaves no questions as to this cars’ purpose.
