The ZF8 and the 4.0TT engine make out a pretty impressive combo. What disappointed me in the RS7, when I drove it on track in Audi Experience Event, was the sensation of heavy front-end and body roll on the limit. It is not nimble, although it is an effective high speed killer. It is insanely fast even stock (I suspect the Performante kicks the M5 F10's ass, no matter if it is CP, non CP, or even Jahre). It also barks, and has an angry snarl/growl under power.
I believe though that as a street car, for someone who likes to push it only eventually (and not 10/10's), it is possibly even better than the E63 S as it is more supple and it handles beautifully (Performante, the standard one I thought it was crap) up to 8/10's.
