What’s faster, R8 or RS7?
The R8 wins by . DSG is better than the tiptronic transmission (although the tiptronic was no slouch from my test drive) so we can say the R8 wins on 3 out of 7 categories, while the RS7 wins the remaining four. The R8 is still going to win in a top-speed run, but in everyday driving situations, the RS6 is going to feel faster.
