Wide-Bodied Audi RS7 Is As Flash As A Rat With A Gold Tooth

BY Cristian Gnaticov | Posted on

This first-gen Audi RS7 may have a yellow wrap, but due to the significant visual makeover, nobody is going to scream ‘taxi’ at it.

Among the extra bits fitted to this super saloon we find large fender flares at both ends, a ducktail spoiler, new rim set and adjustable suspension.

This RS7 is the work of Clinched Flares, a California-based tuner with lots of completed projects in its portfolio. The company is mostly specialized in offering wide body kits for various vehicles, which probably means that this example hasn’t received any performance upgrades, besides a new exhaust system.

Still, with up to 605 PS (596 hp / 445 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque in stock form from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, it hardly needs more work. This is enough to rocket the RS7 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, and allows it to hit a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph) in the Performance version.

By now, you have probably noticed that despite wearing some parts developed in the States, this RS7 sports Romanian, and specifically Bucharest, license plates. As for the video, it was shot in Romania’s capital, mostly downtown, and displays the soundtrack of the car as well as some short acceleration bursts.
