This is the new Audi RS7 and its arch-rival, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. Both are powered by turbocharged V8 engines and have over 500bhp -but do they really justify their price tags? Watch this video review to find out.
The BMW M6 features a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 552bhp and 680Nm of torque. It’ll sprint from 0-60 in just 4.2 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155mph. The Audi has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 yet despite being down on capacity compared to the BMW it produces the same bhp and has even more torque with a huge 700Nm. Once again top speed is limited to 155mph, but it hits 60 in just 3.9 seconds.
Overall, the BMW engine has a little bit more character than the Audi engine and there’s certainly more fizz to the driving experience. It’s not perfect and it troubles the traction control quite a lot on a wet road, though. The BMW is the best to drive but it’s also the nicest to sit in, with its stylish interior and sporty wrap-around cockpit. It might cost a lot more money than the BMW M5 but they decided to go for the M6 Gran Coupe – it looks great, sounds fantastic and most importantly it’s more fun to drive than the Audi RS7.
