Replaced by

in production

Key rivals

BMW M5, Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door 63, Porsche Panamera Turbo, Maserati Quattroporte

Not to be confused with: C7 (2013–2018) — previous generation (560 hp; performance 605 hp) RS7 (600 hp) vs RS7 performance (630 hp) RS6 Avant (C8) — mechanical twin (estate vs liftback) S7 / A7 — lower-specification variants

Collectability & valuation

Rarity

series production model; the performance (630 hp) variant and rare specifications more sought-after

Desirability

versatility (5 seats + supercar performance), twin-turbo V8, discreet "sleeper" character; ceramic brakes, sport differential, low mileage add value

Points to watch

high servicing/parts costs (V8, air suspension, ceramics), known weakness of oil filter strainers on early 4,0 TFSI (C7); typical depreciation curve; full service history essential

Valuation

on request (price range + comparables + sources + date)
