Out of the all the car channels I watch or have watched (a lot) you are by far the most entertaining presenter. I find with other channels I’m finding a new video after 5 minutes; with you, before I know it the video is over. Impressive. Well done
I concur. You're one of the best automotive journalists ever to work in the field. Your intelligent, well-researched, and detailed content and your witty delivery are collectively singular. Bravo.
Impressive how this guy can be watchable and doesnt require another partner/co host, hopefully autotrader doesnt mess this up knowing how corporate companies are
There were people who had an issue with BBC trying to be more PC, those people didn’t check his credentials. They didn’t think he deserves his place. It’s a shame how draconian this country is when it comes to inclusiveness in some quarters.
I'm genuinely happy that this car exists and I believe that Audi realizes that like me, not everyone likes a wagon like the RS6 Avant and would prefer the RS7 Sportback instead.
But doesn' t the (R)S6 just come in 4 door saloon & wagon/estate or is this an alternative to a wagon directly and that this is for people that dont want a saloon?
I drove the previous gen RS7 a few weeks ago and one thing I’ll say is it BLEW my mind the power and how planted it is in comparison to its size and weight is something else an absolutely ridiculous machine I loved it! I do agree it does somewhat fall just a touch short of it’s competitors and is definitely shadowed by the RS6 but man oh man it puts a smile on your face!
One of the best car reviewers! Excellent cinematography, editing and music. Polished presentation everytime. A joy to watch nomatter what you're reviewing 🙏🏾
Chris D meh if the RS6 has the tail lights going all the way across the back like the RSQ8 it would look way better. But you’re comparing two totally different cars. The RS6 Avant is an Estate car or “station wagon.”
You say you would take this over the rs6, well the rs7 is clearly better, but there are other factors like money, so i would rather go for the rs6 avant and it has more practicality, if money wasnt an option then clearly rs7
@@Fiwek23452 that's not the point. I'm tryna say something obviously went wrong. It's like if a 720s did 0-60 in 4.0secs in a vid it wouldnt matter because we know how quick they can actually be. You get me?
Rory you're smashing it!!! AutoTrader has got themselves a gem. Top Gear didn't give you what you deserved. Keep it up mate, looking forward to the next upload.
So much better now he doesn't have to follow the Top Gear moronicness which the current employees of that show excel in (rendering the show a tragic no view). Camon, the RS7 best looking luxury coupe GT on the road, blended with best tech.
Top gear is way better now. Infact it's almost as good as when Clarkson did it and considering the group havent been together that long itll only get better. Rory Reid got a rough deal though because hes a good journalist
From 4:24 I was in awe! Rory you talk so much sense in real terms these days like your old videos before top gear when you swore! You're genuinely better than Chris Harris these days man! Less loaded!
Most people would go for the RS6 because it is practical, fast and it's an estate.The RS7 is created for the niche market of people who want the sportback looks and everyone should have already known that a sportback style will not have the practicality of an estate, so comparing the RS7 to an RS6 is just wrong. The RS7 is created for a different purpose!
3:42. That's exactly the point... and the reason i preferred the C63 AMG for me. The RS7 is, you shouldn't say "unknown", but there are a lot of better options to buy worth that amount of money.
I can`t get enough of this video I`ve literally watched it 4 times I like the view of the interior while he`s driving, that seat looks very comforatable
watch carefully 3:02 he says launch control active.... yet the start he takes is like you take off from a signal in normal traffic flow... no way near a “launch”. thats where you loose almost half a second
0-60 is kind of slow for it. I suppose it's the launch control. I can't complain when my 2015 ML400 4Matic, a 5,098-pound SUV, does 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
What does launch it well even mean? I get that you're saying it well outside of what is claimed. But as a driver, you put it in the mode and mash the pedal. What else can you do to make it launch better?
I just loved watching your video, even when you were on Top Gear, but had to say the new Top Gear was and is just the shadow of the old one, and that really just ruin all the character and talent you pour into the program. Really glad and enjoying to watch you making program this good!!!
Even the new BMW M8 started over shadowing this gorgeous looking car, this is a timeless design trust me on how this car will still manage to look good in 10 years of time like it's old RS7 did.
the side profile of this car actually made my jaw drop for a second. You don't appreciate just how beastly it looks until Rory is walking around it. If I had this kind of money to drop, I'd be at the dealership right now :D
First rate presentation, but I’m a television producer, sooo. And I have to say, it doesn’t escape me, yet I try not to dwell on how joyous it is to see a person of color behind the wheel who looks like me. Oh, and yes, these are the wheels to have. No doubt.
Pre-facelift is my favourite, the facelift of the previous gen looked a bit gawky to me. The power increase was nothing to sneeze at (up to 440kw for the Performance) but I feel the earlier models had more cohesive styling.
In Carwow we got Mat, in Car Perfection we got Henry, In Top Gear we got 3 legendary persons May, Jeremy and Hammond and in Auto Trader we got Rory. As an immensive presenter can we can get him some more subscribers and likes?? I'm sure we can🙂
Another great review Rory, this iteration of the RS7 is definitely a leap forward in the right direction, though if it was my money I'd still take the RS6 haha.
I don't give 2 cents about cars and performance, I'm just here for the quality presenting and cinematography. When something is done well I'll watch it.
Out of the all the car channels I watch or have watched (a lot) you are by far the most entertaining presenter. I find with other channels I’m finding a new video after 5 minutes; with you, before I know it the video is over. Impressive. Well done

100% agree
Mat watson is also really good

Lmao
It’s UK , of course they will mess* it up .
What companies aren’t corporate?
CxDragon that’s true
CxDragon agreed
Man ur so good. Top gear never used you properly
Facts
...the best.

CiganoBoxer Yep just the right shade.
Word..
He's really coming into his own. Class video from a class act.
They should have kept him on top gear along with Chris Harris.

The RS6 is only "mainstream" to car guys.
To the rest of the world, the RS7 is the "mainstream" body style.
One of the best car reviewers! Excellent cinematography, editing and music. Polished presentation everytime. A joy to watch nomatter what you're reviewing 🙏🏾
Rory is fast becoming my go to guy in the RUclips car videos. Great video ❤️
This car looks really does look way cooler than the RS6, IMO. 👀
Yeah I don’t like hatchback
I agree
Chris D meh if the RS6 has the tail lights going all the way across the back like the RSQ8 it would look way better.
But you’re comparing two totally different cars.
The RS6 Avant is an Estate car or “station wagon.”
@@apilkey exactly
Aaron Pilkey- reviewer said this car lacked the “cool factor” of the RS6. I strongly disagree.
Loving these new internationally shot videos. Along with Rory and the picturesque views, brings the review to life. Keep it up!
Now a year later from release of this masterpiece from Rory and I still can't find better intro than this, it gets me every time
I would take this car over the rs6 all day long. It is a lot prettier. I would also take it over any of its competitors.
Nah, gt63s over this any day
Although this is a desirable car but If I had that kind of money I'd definitely get the RS6 over this.
You say you would take this over the rs6, well the rs7 is clearly better, but there are other factors like money, so i would rather go for the rs6 avant and it has more practicality, if money wasnt an option then clearly rs7
@@TimeVigil the money factor is irrelevant considering you don't own a penny and live in mummy's garden shed. Good luck mate.
@@alancopeland4286 IRONIC
Great review as always Rory! Gotta love the lines on the A7...one of the best looking mass produced cars for sure
Why are people complaining about the 4.9 0-60🤣🤣. You've seen other videos where it does 3.3 so that's irrelevant
AJ I know lol
Bmw X6M F96 does 3.4 0 to 60 and thats a heavy suv
@@Fiwek23452 RSQ8 also and it is faster on track than the bmw
@@Fiwek23452 that's not the point. I'm tryna say something obviously went wrong. It's like if a 720s did 0-60 in 4.0secs in a vid it wouldnt matter because we know how quick they can actually be. You get me?

So much work and effort for this Review!!! You are brilliant!!! The best car Reviewer!!! Thumbs up!!!
Rory you're smashing it!!! AutoTrader has got themselves a gem. Top Gear didn't give you what you deserved. Keep it up mate, looking forward to the next upload.

@@hamdanali5203 lol. Your comment killed me bro
@@hamdanali5203 the rear a bit similar like kia😂
@@hamdanali5203 reminds me of when Clarkson said something similar about the backend of the chrysler crossfire 😂
Top gear is way better now. Infact it's almost as good as when Clarkson did it and considering the group havent been together that long itll only get better. Rory Reid got a rough deal though because hes a good journalist
Yes your right
Rory, completely echo other comments. I’ve actually stopped caring what car you’re reviewing, because I’m enjoying the video that much.
i think your the best presenter on autotrader
@7:47 you can see the tire moving in and out of the rim and also the steering of the wheel. Amazing.
If the tire moves outta the rim, it's bad.
This is the car content I just love to watch, especially with such an amazing camera equipment
I have a S5 and can reach 0 to 60 in 4.7 at most times. How this dude, and he is great presenter, did it in this new RS7 in 4.9 is beyond me 🤫
From 4:24 I was in awe! Rory you talk so much sense in real terms these days like your old videos before top gear when you swore! You're genuinely better than Chris Harris these days man! Less loaded!

I think it is still a great daily, but of course if you have a family of 4 or 5 the RS6 is more practical.
The production quality on these videos is amazing, smashing it Rory!
Love the design of the RS7. However, I’d still go for the RS6 for its iconic status and better practicality.
Very nice reviews mate. Regards from Romania!! 🇷🇴
1st brother I've seen do a car review.. you've got my subscription
I do prefer the RS7 over the 6...
That 0-60 kinda looked like a rolling start to be fair
This review was world class. Great work Rory, definitely coming in to your own after being underutilised by Top Gear.
Impressive review! Clear, concise, and engaging. Bravo!
Love this rS7.
3:00 someone needs to teach him how to launch properly. Foot on the accelerator at 4k rpm for 3 seconds then let go of the brake.
Wow never felt excited about a car before. I love the way you review cars. Get your own channel and I am in.
3:42. That's exactly the point... and the reason i preferred the C63 AMG for me. The RS7 is, you shouldn't say "unknown", but there are a lot of better options to buy worth that amount of money.
I hope to see Rory presenting more of these shows, impressive stuff
i am always fascinated about the way you talk and your introductions to each and every video , well delivered
Excellent job Rory, the footage in these uploads is superb. That’s what make them so good, presenter AND camera operator!!
Keep ‘em coming bro, you’re doing great!
Lovely rundown Rory. I really love the RS7s. I'm getting one for myself (Had to toss with BMW M5). Cool selection of tracks as well. Kudos!!
Such an amazing way of presenting the Atlas Mountains in Marrakech, MOROCCO! Especially with the magnificent Audi RS7
gang 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
5:24 AGREED! 😀
This guy is really good at this review business.
Classy and elegant.
Your the best car reviewer ever and no one can change my mind
This channel is impressive. The presentation skill is off the hook
that launch was awful, as in the sound and visual of the rear section moving off looked like any standard movement
Exactly
"Serious numbers for a serious machine" I love the serious statement by serious reviewer. Good job
You don’t get you due! YOUR commentary and enthusiasm makes the reviews.
Brilliant, as usual, Rory. Not really thought about a coupe, but this dispelled my reservations.
This is definitely gonna be the car after I’m done with the s5 sportback.
Will take this over RS6
You sir are a brilliant presenter,all love from south America ,Guyana to be exact.
I can`t get enough of this video I`ve literally watched it 4 times I like the view of the interior while he`s driving, that seat looks very comforatable
watch carefully 3:02 he says launch control active.... yet the start he takes is like you take off from a signal in normal traffic flow... no way near a “launch”. thats where you loose almost half a second
Hey, Nice shoes man !! Seriously nice 4:43
Excellent. You are by far the best. I love how you explain in detail.
Rory is just surreal! Love you man! Your reviews are just Epic
Rory’s reviews are next to none, by far the best of the best. King 🤴 Rory.
Rory is such a talented host. I could watch him review Audi's all day
the instrument playing right when the video began was amazing.
Audi killing it with the looks damn
Do u even launch at 3:01?
He didn't launch it at all, the back drops a lot when its launching and here its at the same level
Yeah everyone does 3.6
Was about to say the samething 🤔
He didn't have it in AMAX mode. Bit of a sledging there.
Really enjoyed the intro!
0-60 is kind of slow for it. I suppose it's the launch control. I can't complain when my 2015 ML400 4Matic, a 5,098-pound SUV, does 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
4.9 wow...
What does launch it well even mean? I get that you're saying it well outside of what is claimed. But as a driver, you put it in the mode and mash the pedal. What else can you do to make it launch better?
@@d1sturb3d119 well idk how but he clearly didnt launch it properly since it did a bloody 4.9 sec to 60 mph
He has a passenger in the car, extra weight makes a difference.
Altitude idiots.
d1sturb3d you have to hold boost for the turbos. If you just smash the pedal right away it’s not gonna have enough boost to get going.
Rory u effin legend... this guy is on fire
for sure.. he even makes mundane car reviews interesting
I'd still choose the RS6, those curves on it are superb🔥🇿🇦💯
I absolutely love the editing 👌👌👌
It is rare that we can see how these cars respond to curves and how they can actually be driven. But this man showed it every fucking time.
Damn, bro! You didn't have to go so hard on the intro!🔥
Favorite car channel by far !!
Nice to see Rory again. He's not bad at all as a car reviewer
I just loved watching your video, even when you were on Top Gear, but had to say the new Top Gear was and is just the shadow of the old one, and that really just ruin all the character and talent you pour into the program.
Really glad and enjoying to watch you making program this good!!!
I see Rory, I press like! AutoTrader good job on hiring him!👌🏾
Rory's soooo good! I'm subscribed just for him! Love your videos!
Even the new BMW M8 started over shadowing this gorgeous looking car, this is a timeless design trust me on how this car will still manage to look good in 10 years of time like it's old RS7 did.

0:57 what's the name of the song please?
Yes please, let me know too.... awesome music
Yeah please....what is that song name...now it's just stuck in my head
Gee wee, your lyrics is like poetry! Ice video man!
I can't afford either but if I could it would be the RS7 for me, it just seems a bit more grown up and subtle than the RS6 yet still with all the fun.
I actually like the looks of the prior gen RS7 more. This looks cartoony and way too busy
Pre-facelift is my favourite, the facelift of the previous gen looked a bit gawky to me. The power increase was nothing to sneeze at (up to 440kw for the Performance) but I feel the earlier models had more cohesive styling.

AutoTrader. Keep hold of this Gentleman, he creates a good vid.
The RS4/6/7 videos have literally just turned me into an Audi fan!
Top work again Rory, the best motoring journalist about 👍🏻
This dude is presenting like a boss. Well done Rory, filling in the boots well for our generation as a future Clarkson, Hammond and May in one.
Awesome review
Keep up the good work Rory
It might be an underdog, but it will always be my dream car. Hope to own one someday!
Great video.
But practicality never goes out of fashion, RS6 is still the boss😅😎
Rory, absolute legend. Love the reviews.
Another great review Rory, this iteration of the RS7 is definitely a leap forward in the right direction, though if it was my money I'd still take the RS6 haha.
RS7 Is way better car than Panamera and e63. More aggressive, more beautiful and 0-62 for 3.4 seconds!
love these 4k videos
Rory keeps getting better. 👏👏
I don't give 2 cents about cars and performance, I'm just here for the quality presenting and cinematography. When something is done well I'll watch it.

Thanks for 4K fellas much appreciated
