Audi has introduced the RS 7 Sportback performance, an upgraded version of the sports sedan that boasts a more powerful engine and a handful of visual tweaks.

Power is delivered by an evolution of the regular RS 7's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter TFSI V8 engine.

It has been tuned to deliver 605 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque.

The RS 7 performance sprints from:
- zero to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds

- zero to 124 mph in 12.1 seconds.

Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, but car equipped with the optional dynamic package top out at nearly 190 mph.

An eight-speed automatic transmission with two built-in driving modes sends power to all four wheels via Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system. Gas mileage checks in at 25 mpg thanks in part to a cylinder-on-demand technology that turns the V8 into a four-cylinder when the 600 ponies aren't needed.

The RS 7 Sportback performance is scheduled to go on sale in Germany next month with a base price of €121,700, a sum that converts to nearly $140,000. Whether or not it will be sold alongside the RS 7 in the United States is up in the air at this point.

I definitely get what your saying I was just saying its not comparable with a GT-R. People will cross shop this car with a CLS63 and Panamera turbo S
