This guy bought an Audi RS7 Performance because he wanted to stand out – but it turns out that he accidentally bought the most popular Audi in Florida.
The very first night he took his sports sedan for a spin, he ended up sharing the road with three other RS7s.
That was apparently particularly surprising to him because he’d done his ‘due diligence’ and thought his RS7 would be the only one in his area.
But there’s reason to believe he was actually just unlucky.

He thought his was the only Audi RS7 Performance in the area… but he was wrong
A content creator who goes by elijahifl took to Instagram to share his surprise when he discovered his rare Audi RS7 Performance wasn’t that rare after all.
He apparently had thought it through because he’d never seen one in Jacksonville, Florida, and that’s part of the reason why he got one.
Anecdotal evidence probably doesn’t count as due diligence, but data shows he was actually right because the RS7 is indeed rare.
Only 1,500+ units were sold in the US in 2024.
And apparently, at least four of them live in the same area in Florida.
The Audi RS7 was created back when car names made more sense
The Audi RS7 was introduced in 2013, three years after the original A7 sedan.
Back then, automakers had naming strategies that made a bit more sense.
The A7 was the seventh largest Audi non-SUV model available, and then Audi was using the letter S (Sport) for sports models, and RS (RacingSport) for high-performance models.
This was also the same era as the 458 Italia and the AMG 55 cars.
The Ferrari was called 458 because the engine was a 4.5-liter and it was V8, and every Mercedes-AMG ’55’ had a 5.5-liter engine.
Things are a bit awkward these days.
The numbers in all AMG models are arbitrary, as most use a 4.0-liter unit, and then we have Porsche, which has ‘Turbo’ variants for the Macan EV, Cayenne Electric, and Taycan.
But all three are electric, and electric cars don’t use turbos.
Still, the silver lining is that some automakers are going back to the old system because they realize these names can sometimes be confusing.
But we’re certain that sooner or later there’ll be an electric car called the ‘Naturally Aspirated Turbo Manual V8’.
