Audi RS7 Sportback (2013) first official pictures

This is the new Audi RS7 Sportback, just unveiled at the 2013 Detroit auto show.

Morgan Stanley declare that we will still all be driving ICE cars for the foreseeable future, and despite predictions that as many as one in ten cars will be BEVs by 2020 the reality is likely to be less than one in a hundred.
