New Pics of My Audi RS7/Klassen 21's/KW's/Other Stuff

Big pics my friends but finally some clean ones. The car is all but done and with the tune its a very bad ass car indeed (was before too). I have to say that my car is a better handler than most RS7's since I have the springs vs the air suspension but it became even better since I added the EuroCode Sway Bars and the KW sleeves. The car is soooo flat vs the wallow and lean many have seen in videos (Air suspension). It really has become a tossable 4400 lb car . It is absolutely the best performance mod I've done outside of the tune and it has made the steering much better too. The ZF tranny is quite strong and shifts exceptionally fast (My Jag has it too)- I think this car will make it to a birthday and that is saying a lot.

Mods:

Klassen M10 21x10.5 wheels with 295x30x21 PSS Tires (Perfect Offsets No Rub)
KW Sleeve Kit
Gloss Black Roof Wrap
CarID Rear Deck Lid Spoiler
EuroCode Sways (+5mm front and rear)
GIAC Tune
Mid and Rear Resonator Deletes (straight pipe replacements)
Minor Shit

Tire fitment looks perfect Vic, most people never get it looking right, yours does. Car looks excellent overall, perfect drop as well.

Audi frustrates me with their lineup. I love the front end of the RS7 but still don't love the rear or the 3/4 rear views. I wish they made a RS6 Sedan (with the 4 liter TTV8 of course) or a RS8, I think they would both outsell the RS7 if they did.

Is GIAC > APR when it comes to Audi tunes these days? I haven't really kept up.

Cool car man

Thanks KBC.... I get it with the rear on this car and I always was adverse to the car in pictures but after seeing it in person and then placing the rear lip on it- the car grew on me immensely.

GIAC and APR are the leaders, with the RS7 or the 4.0TT tune, with APR having re-org issues (google will lead you here) but I can't say what tune is better since Ive only had GIAC. I choose GIAC for their local in house service and their tunes have been on my V10 R8 and Turbo S 991 Porsche. Im sure they are both very close in comparos but I made sure GIAC didnt over push the envelope for a few more ponies as I want the car to be reliable as well.

That's the perfect RS7 right there. Just needs CCBs to be overkill Seriously though, such a sweet build. Rims are amazing. Any sound clips?

I must say this looks fantastic! I have known Frank@Klassen for almost 7 years now and he always has amazing wheel designs. This looks really good Vic, very nice taste

Thanks Mate, the RS7 is indeed the fastest off the line with AWD and the tune coupled with gobs of tuned up torque. I had slowed down in the usage of the RS7 until I got the recent sway bar upgrade with the links. I have never felt a change in lateral stability like this in a car. The car yearned for it and so did I. It makes driving the car so much more fun and dare I say on this board, more fun than my M5 and M6. The slightly numb steering has been reared in with the sway tweaks and the AWD control is even more enhanced. Its a great car. I probably drive the Jag and the RS7 the most, the Audi and the Benz the least (they are at my other house) and the Ferrari begs to be driven alot and I comply as much as possible because it needs to be crushed.

This is with only the rear resonator removal- I have subsequently pulled the middle one for more sound.

That sounds superb! Are those new darkened rear lights lenses?

As an aside, are the pics above from a professional photo shoot?

The tails come slightly less red from the factory compared to my others when seen side to side. My friend took these in about 30 minutes with his excellent camera and he did pull some of the saturation out which probably further removed the color from the tails. These are actually stills pulled from his video shots he did of the car while it was parked. I should have more roller shots coming soon.

So you're the RS7 owner I've been seeing all over the klassenidwheels page? Sick car man, I was just telling Frank from Klassen how much I like this car, what a coincidence it would be someone on Bimmerpost.

Car looks amazing man, and those Klassen wheels really set it off. I know HRE & ADV.1 are the big names on the forums and in the car scene, but I think Klassen has serious potential and is easily matched to those two, if not more exclusive and well-made.

Good work brotha.

That's your R8 too? Wow man, good stuff. Are you getting a set for the Jag and 458 too?

Also they haven't updated the website yet, but if you check out their Instagram, klassenidwheels , there are quite a few nice pics and a little clip of your car there.
