RS7 Initial Thoughts
Picked my RS7 up today, some initial thoughts...Coming from an 06 Mercedes S65 AMG...
1) ride is firmer than my AMG, even on comfort mode
2) seems quite a bit less powerful than my AMG, though didn't really test it out and never left comfort mode. The AMG had 738 torque, so the bar is high.
3) looks even better in person, really love the Daytona gray pearl with aluminum optic package.
4) lots of stuff and gadgets, a little intimidating
5) when slowing down, transmission feels a little clunky?
6) alcantara headliner is awesome

all else is good, I think the power is there in the right mode, have fun playing around with it,
the car is amazing in the snow, we are having a little blast in the midwest and I'm loving it.
I love the Aluminum optic too, mine is on panther black, looks great imho
Enjoy!

Beaut of a car--- love the contrast with the Alu-Optics. Did you get the dynamic package with the diagonal shocks (red calipers are part of this) or are your calipers painted as a single option?

I got the stand alone red brake package. When I placed my order back in June, the dynamic package wasn't available yet.

Ok thank you- I thought you might have got a recent allocation that was on the ground. I just place my order with the DP as my roads are very good here in the OC and I wanted the least amount of roll.
Congrats again on the car- fantastic.
Im trying to figure out if I should keep the sport seats or go with comfort... I see that the sports seats look better but the comfort seats might hold one in better???

I went with comfort because i really wanted the ventilation and massage, though I think the sport seats look cooler
