Audi is set to launch the facelifted version of the RS7 on May 11, 2015.

On the outside, the RS7 gets a restyled bumper along with a restyled single-frame grille. The RS7 also gets reworked LED headlamps with the option of opting for Matrix LED units. The headlamps look visually different because of the darkened graphics. At the back, the car gets new tail lamps with LED graphics and restyled alloy wheels all round.

On the inside, the car gets a revised instrument panel with new air-con controls and restyled paddle shifters. Other changes include the optional Multi Media Interface Plus infotainment system with a new Nvidia graphics processor.

Under the hood, the RS7 continues to be powered by the 552bhp turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels via Audi’s Torsen (torque sensing) four-wheel drive system. Audi claims the same 0-100kph time of 3.9sec as before with top speed limited to 255kph. The top speed can be increased to 280kph or 305kph with 'Dynamic package'.

Audi has not revealed any details regarding the pricing of the facelifted RS7.
