2014 Audi RS7 is Audi’s nimbus luxury sports saloon and comes with an RS treatment. This model may theoretically be called a hatchback, because of its smaller boot but it offers a plenty of space for 5 passengers and four door arrangements push it on our list of the world’s fastest saloons.

All this power makes the RS7 capable of doing quarter mile in just over 11 seconds.

To handle this mountain of power on the road, Audi’s seven speed dual clutch transmission was not enough so that Audi has used the most powerful automatic eight speed transmission from ZF. It doesn’t work like the crispy shifts at BMW vehicles and its engines but works even better on the Audi RS7. At Audi engines, this gearbox reacts better and faster to the power coming from the engine. It is even better than the Mercedes-Benz transmissions manufactured by Daimler. The RS7 has a traditional torque converter that converts from the front of the transmission. It is an Audi flagship saloon offered across the globe.
