MUNICH -- Audi engaged in extensive foreplay before we were allowed to drive the most powerful RS variant ever to come to the United States, the sultry RS7. We walked the floor of the super sedan’s assembly plant in Neckarsulm, Germany. We examined the expert customization arm, Quattro GmbH, where the RS7 will be enhanced and forged into fighting trim. We even watched Audi engineers dyno the hell out of the bi-turbo V-8 -- until the exhaust manifold turned a glowing shade of orange from the heat. Finally, we got down to business, the act of pure, unadulterated driving. It was worth the wait.
