Meet the ABT RS7 Legacy Edition.
The Audi RS7 Performance is getting quite the upgrade in a comprehensive package from the iconic Audi and VW tuner ABT. Introduced first on the RS6, the company is debuting the ABT RS7 Legacy Edition (LE) which not only adds a whole host of cosmetic and aero improvements but also bumps up the normal Performance's 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque to a blistering 749 hp and 722 lb-ft. Limited to 200 units, no top speed was given, but we assume it will at least hit the 200 mph mark making it the ultimate autobahn cruising machine.
ABT is the king of taking your Audi and turning it into a fire-breathing monster. For years it has tuned practically every vehicle in the German brand's lineup. It has even received Audi's blessing to continue the practice while also starting to sell its products at Audi dealers. This new package for the second-generation RS7 Performance will help cement its reputation further, especially since its last RS7 creation was such a hit.

Outside, the package makes use of the “Signature Carbon Bold” pieces the brand produces. It starts with a carbon fiber hood vent and then moves down to the front fascia, where you get a carbon fiber lip spoiler, integrated vent blades, and grille attachment. Down the sides, there are carbon fiber mirror caps, side skirts, and side blades. At the rear, there is a carbon fiber diffuser and a new carbon fiber wing.
The vehicle's new blistering power comes courtesy of a new ABT turbocharger, intercooler, and the ABT Power R ECU tune, with the ABT quad-tip exhaust system giving it a menacing soundtrack.
The vehicle has been lowered on ABT coilover springs and sports stabilizers front and rear, and the vehicle now sits on ABT High Performance IR22 forged rims in gloss black. The wheels are shod in Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tires.

Finally, the interior has been retrimmed in the suede-like Dinamica soul fabric on the seats, dashboard, and shifter, and the ABT RS7-LE name is embroidered onto the seats and the floormats. A new ABT steering wheel with an Alcantara finish and a red 12 o'clock marking, door entry lighting, and a start-stop switch cap finish out the package.
The package is compatible with the “myABT” app, which lets you see vehicle diagnostics and access special features and settings like Eco, Sport, and Race modes. If we were you, we'd want to get every little bit out of this package, because it doesn't come cheap.
An Audi RS7 Performance starts at $127,800, and if you want this 1-of-200 package on top of that, you'll need to fork over € 102,600 ($114,209.) Steep, but it's almost a bargain once you realize you'll be embarrassing cars worth three times the price in no time.
