Deliciously Raw in Autobahn Run

Yummy!

We love electric cars, but we cannot deny that an EV will never be as thrilling to drive as a performance-powered combustion engine car. Although we love the speed and torque delivery, we would prefer a screaming V8. The video below shows one of our favorite V8-powered performance vehicles on the market.

Many people believe that only naturally aspirated V8 engines can produce a good soundtrack. Although we don’t disagree with this claim, you will need to take extra precautions if you want a twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a great sound. This Audi RS7 owner has created a wonderful, raw sound.

The RS7 stock version has a 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 that is supported by mild-hybrid technology. It produces 600 horsepower (441 kilowatts), and 590 lbft (800 Newton-meters), of peak power. The average driver behind the wheel should be able to travel 0-60 miles per hour (0-100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.

We dare to say that this is one the most harsh exhaust sounds we have ever heard from a luxury performance vehicle.

The RS7’s top speed is another interesting aspect of this video. You can see that the modified car is able to reach speeds of 124 mph (200 km/h). It continues to accelerate like mad up until it reaches 193 mph (312 kph). It can go faster if there’s enough road.
