Official: meet the Audi RS7 Twin-turbo, 552bhp V8-powered limo-like hatchback

Making its debut on Audi’s stand at the Detroit Motor Show, alongside the SQ5, Ingolstadt’s latest RS model appears as some well-timed artillery against the also very recently announced BMW M6 Gran Coupe.

It’s based on the Audi A7, naturally, but only in body shape doth this RS7 share any sibling genetics. Because underneath rests the same twin-turbocharged, 4.0-litre V8 engine as used in the upcoming RS6 Avant (itself only announced last month). At this rate we’ll be getting a new RS-model every few minutes.

So that V8. It’s the same one used by Bentley, and Audi in the S8, producing some 552bhp and 516lb ft of torque, which if you’re unaware, is a significant amount of firepower. Audi reckons that - mated to a standard eight-speed automatic box and quattro four-wheel-drive - the new RS7 will accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 155mph.

Tick the ‘Dynamic Plus’ pack and you’ll raise that top speed to 189mph. Nice. Incidentally, the M6 Gran Coupe’s pub-lording stats are 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds and the possibility of 189mph. Clearly, the battle for pub supremacy is won in tenths.

So a friend and I was in a recent argument about batman (the comic) and he said that bane killed batman but I remember that bane broke batman's spine and batman found a replacement till he was ready to come back. Who is right? Me or my friend?

Meet the new Viper, now with more… civilization.

(Somehow our photo gallery and description disappeared from our post, which is fine by us…. It gives us a reason to blog the entire thing again.)

When the original Dodge Viper debuted over twenty years ago, it was known for being a beast of a car with a cheap, minimalist interior (watch Jeremy’s review from Top Gear Series 5). Well the new Viper, now by Chrysler’s SRT division and under Fiat ownership, has a new interior that’s being described as downright “luxurious.” Perhaps the new Viper is all grown up:

Well, sort of. There’s still an aircraft carrier-length bonnet atop a massive V10 engine, cab-back driving position and a side-exit exhaust. So far, so enjoyably juvenile. But the latest iteration’s lighter, stiffer, more advanced, easier to drive and also sight more pleasant inside.

There’s a carbon fibre bonnet, roof and boot lid, which has whittled weight down to 1455kg, some 55 kilos lighter than the old car, and a huge 50 per cent stiffer. And there’s an upgraded version of Dodge’s 8.4-litre V10 producing - in basic form - 640bhp and 600lb ft of torque. That makes it the torqueiest naturally aspirated engine to be fitted to a sports car… ever.

But inside is where there’s the biggest surprise - it’s actually luxurious. And not just ‘luxurious for a Viper’ either. The cow peelings are soft and sumptuous, the stereo is by Harman Kardon, the abundance of screens are TFT, there’s not a solitary centimeter of wibbly stitching. There’s also 40mm more headroom and 90mm more legroom. This is a car you could feasibly use every day, not just when you fancy peering over the edge of existence.

How excited are you bout the new season of Doctor Who?

bat[man]

This comic nerd is so looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises. By what I heard Christopher Nolan is following the comics and if you don`t follow them I`m not to spoil it for you. I am disappointed that I heard ( don`t know if it is true ) that the joker isn`t going to be in the movie. I understand that why there wont be but come on. The Joker was the star of the The Dark Knight ( sorry Christian Bale ) so can you not bring back the Joker? You replace the actor that played rachel so why not the Joker? But I do have faith that The Dark Knight Rises will be an awesome movie. I just hate that I did have to wait so long to see but I know it will be worth it. 

Doctor who

So the end of the 6th season ended on a bang. So Stephen Moffat wants us to believe that the doctor will quite down a little? I personally don`t see it. Also he left us thinking that we might know his name? I hope he doesn`t. I mean isn`t not knowing everything the fun of it all? I like the idea of an unknown source running around fighting to save the earth and other planets the good of it all. I`m also hoping the Stephen Moffat doesn`t end this show soon. Cause once all the cards is all on the table, you can change anything. I hope for all of the nerds, and the geeks sake (even me) that Stephen will make the right choice.
