“The V8 twin-turbo 4-litre TFSI petrol heart (engine) propels the car to 100 kmph in a super quick 3.6 seconds," said Balbir Singh Dhillon, head of Audi India.

As a brand, Audi is focused on bringing exciting products for its customers, Dhillon said, adding that the new Audi RS 7 Sportback is not the only RS model scheduled for 2020.

The new RS 7 Sportback is expected to give competition to the likes of Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and the BMW M5, among others.

Customers can also book RS 7 Sportback online or head to their nearest Audi India dealership, said the release.

Offered with five seats for the first time, the customers can also personalise the latest car from a wide menu of trim and equipment options.

All customisation and personalisation needs can be catered to by any Audi India dealership, the carmaker said.

Through an augmented reality experience - a first of its kind - and the 360-degree product visualiser which offers the inside and outside view, customers can explore all the latest features and customisation options of the new car, it said.
