2015 "65" Audi RS7 Sportback For Sale at Master Car Sales Hitchin

Everybody loves a supercar. Who wouldn't love the thought of a Ferrari or Lamborghini? The stunning looks, the sound, the raw power, all connote the excitement of exotic metal. The problem is, day-to-day, how is it realistic to own and drive a car that will average 2MPG, costs £15,000 to service every year, leaves you shaking with fear everytime you leave it in a public car park and is so unpractical that you'll struggle to find anywhere to put your spare change. Not forgetting the fact that as a two seater you have to have a spare car on standby for when you have more than one passenger.

 Audi, however, throw caution to the wind and re-write the rule book with this, the 560BHP, 4.0 Twin-Turbo RS7 Quattro. Where to even start with the RS7. This thing is quick. And not just in the "nippy" sense, it accelerates with such ferocity I cannot think of a car that is quicker in the real world of speed bumps and pot holes.

The noise, the engine, the raw power make this a true supercar competitor. 0-60MPH according to Audi takes just 3.9 Seconds. This is faster than a Lamborghini Gallardo and only slightly behind a Ferrari 458! In this, a car that can comfortably fit 4 adults and has a huge boot.

 The 4.0 V8 Turbo engine packs a massive torque figure, meaning that the power delivery is instant and there is very little in the way of turbo lag. It pulls in any gear, at any revs right the way round to the redline with no fuss whatsoever, it really is effortless.

The Dynamic drive mode really helps to make this a car for any occasion. You can change the settings on the air suspension, steering, throttle response, engine and gearbox and, where applicable when fitted with the sports exhaust, the exhaust note.

 Our car, a September 2015 "65" example has covered just 18,000 Miles from new in the hands of one private owner and is in superb condition throughout. As with any high end premium car, specification is very important. Thankfully, the previous owner has also seen the importance of this and has specified it with in excess of £15,000 worth of optional extras. When new just 2 years ago, the cost of this car on the road was £108,000!

 The optional extras include Matte Aluminium exterior Style Pack, Park Pack Advanced with Front and Rear Sensors and Front and Rear Camera and Park Assistance, 21" Blade Alloy Wheels in Gloss Black and Polished, Red Brake Calipers, Heated Front and Rear Seats, Dynamic Package including Dynamic Steering, CD Multichanger, Audi Connect, Audi Phonebox with Bluetooth Connectivity and Wireless charging, Driver Assistance Pack with Head-Up Display, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-Spot Warning and Hill Hold Assist, Speed Display, Advanced Key with Keyless Entry, Privacy Glass, Sports Exhaust and 4 year extended warranty to 1/9/2019.

 The Matte aluminium styling really compliments the outside of the car, contrasting superbly with the Mythos Black Paintwork, Privacy Glass and 21" Blade Alloy Wheels. The styling pack includes Aluminium side mirrors, window surrounds, front and rear bumper accents as well as "QUATTRO" in aluminium silver letters on the front grille. All of these understated touches, the 21" wheels, the quad exhausts, the LED matrix headlights all subtly set this car aside from the standard 3.0TDi A7 repmobile.

For me, the most important extras are the sports exhaust and the Dynamic Pack. They transform the car throughout. The noise from the exhaust is addictive, with snaps, crackles, bangs and pops under acceleration, on the overrun and even when changing gear, because why wouldn't you want that? The Dynamic Drive Select allows you to alter every aspect of the drivetrain as well as the engine and exhaust and really puts everything in your hands.





As an all round car, the RS7 really does take some beating. It handles and drives fantastically and is extremely planted. The Quattro Four-Wheel Drive system allows the power to be displaced to the road effortlessly with very little effort. Never have I driven a car that can successfully put 560BHP to tarmac with no wheelspin!

Prior to sale, our vehicle will have its first service and an RAC Approved Inspection. Better still, from new, this car has the extended warranty with Audi which runs to September 2019 for complete peace of mind.

2014 "64" Subaru WRX STi For Sale at Master Car Sales Hitchin

 Launched for the 2014 model year, the Subaru WRX STi was a change in direction from the previous generation STi models, the main reason being the name. With this generation, Subaru dropped the "Impreza" name that had famed all UK-specification cars throughout the nineties and noughties. This, however is the only part of the formula that was changed. The WRX STi is still powered by a 2.5 litre turbocharged 4-cylinder "boxer" engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The engine note still giving the distinctive Subaru burble that they are famed for.

 The WRX STi really is a raw car. Even before you drive it, you notice the aggressive styling. The massive rear wing, the quad exhaust pipes, the sculpted bodykit, the 18" alloy wheels, the massive scoop in the bonnet to suck in all the cold air required to keep the turbo spooling. All of these features give you the distinct indication that this isn't a 140bhp diesel. From the first turn of the key (or push of the button, because who uses a key anymore) you can feel the character of the car come alive. The engine roars into life, the turbo boost gauges and acceleration monitor all give the indication that this car means business.

 To drive, the car really is something else. With switchable driving modes (which, I shit you not, help you decide how aggressive you want the turbo boost) it is tremendously fast. 0-60MPH takes just 5 seconds to get to, with the engine producing 300BHP and 300ib/ft of torque. It isn't just about the power, however, the way this car delivers is like nothing else on the road. The four wheel drive system ensures you are glued to the tarmac with no drama whatsoever. No wheelspin (even with the most spirited of launches), no understeer, no oversteer, just no drama. A superb car that is all to easy to drive fast, while looking like a professional in the process.

 Although it is still powered by a large 4-cylinder engine like most of the old Impreza STi's, the WRX STi is also ultra-modern with plenty of technology to keep you on the straight and narrow. It features electrically selectable driving modes, a plethora of gauges that give you all the information that you need, as well as plenty that you really don't. You can also adjust the limited slip differential to control how much help you require from the car to keep you out of trouble. The suspension is rather firm but, this all adds to the appeal of a Scooby. It is a very raw, in your face car that makes no excuses.

 Master Car Sales Hitchin are very pleased to be able to offer our example. It is a late 2014 "64" model finished in the iconic Mica Blue paint that the Subaru rally cars of the nineties were famed for. Having covered 26,000 Miles in the hands of one owner, the car benefits from being 100% standard with no modifications or tinkering (exactly as Subaru intended) and is in all round fantastic condition. It comes complete with all documentation and books in the original Subaru wallet, 2 keyless entry fobs and a matching set of premium tyres, all with lots of tread left.

 The car is very well equipped as standard. It features Xenon headlights, sports bodykit, keyless entry and push button start, climate control, cruise control, trip computer, driver armrest and flat bottom steering wheel. Our car also benefits from the reversing camera as well as the navigation system which also features Bluetooth phone connectivity and USB Connection, meaning this car is as up to date as you would ever need.

Still covered under the manufacturer's warranty until September 2017, the car has also just had a minor oil and filter service carried out by our workshops and given a clean bill of health. As with all of our retail vehicles, the new owner will also get an extendable RAC Warranty (to start when the Subaru warranty ends) as well as 12 Months Breakdown Cover for complete peace of mind. We are also a Black Horse Approved Dealer and offer flexible and competitive finance terms and rates to suit all budgets and circumstances. Try us today to see what we could do for you.
