News on the Audi Performance side

2017 will see Audi introduce the RS 7 Performance to the U.S. This version boosts the power of the twin-turbo 4.0L V8 from 560 to 605 horsepower. Audi says the Performance is about 0.2 seconds faster than the standard RS 7 to 62 mph (3.7 vs. 3.9 seconds). The power increase does come at a premium with a price tag of $130,450 - about $18,800 more than the standard RS 7.

If you like the idea of RS 7 Performance, but wished it came in sedan, Audi has you covered there. The S8 Plus features the same 605 horsepower twin-turbo 4.0L V8. It is slightly cheaper than the RS 7 Performance with a base price of $116,850.
