Audi announces model year 2022 Audi Sport updates
HERNDON, Va., April 27, 2020 – Audi of America today announced updates for its Audi Sport lineup for the 2022 model year, including the addition of a number of requested features customers are eager for, and can anticipate seeing in the U.S. starting late this summer.
The 2022 model changes introduce new “RS design” packages for the RS 5 Coupe and Sportback, RS 6 Avant, RS 7, and RS Q8. The content supports an RS-specific character that amplifies performance textiles, and design components. After a brief absence, a flat-bottom steering wheel with hands-on detection is now standard equipped on all RS 6 Avant and RS 7 models.
Additionally, Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) will now be available for the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 models. The purely mechanical system is designed to ensure an immediate response system to reduce the vehicle’s weight from shifting front to back, or side to side. The shocks are diagonally opposed, linked by hydraulic lines, and a central valve in the damper, and when cornering, this valve regulates the flow of oil through the shock absorber. There is an optimization of sportier feel and comfort depending on what is chosen via the Audi Drive Select system. The DRC is ready for the enthusiast who wants to get the most out of their RS 6 Avant, or RS 7 models.
2022 RS 5 Coupe / Sportback
For 2022, the 444-horsepower RS 5 Coupe and Sportback return for 2022 with several new packages that include design enhancements, and hardware upgrades. The “RS design” package introduces front safety belts with red edging, RS logo floor mats with red edging, and an Alcantara wrapped steering wheel, shift lever, and center console. An available new Audi exclusive Bronze Styling package includes black Audi rings and badges, matte carbon exterior front spoiler and rear diffuser trim, RS carbon matte inlays, matte carbon exterior side mirror housings, Audi exclusive Bronze stitch interior package, and 20-inch 5-arm-peak design wheels milled-cut with a bronze finish and wrapped in 275/30 summer performance tires. A performance-oriented Dynamic plus package introduces a 174 mph top track speed limiter, carbon engine cover, gray brake calipers, and ceramic front brakes.

My next-door neighbor is gonna be pissed. This weekend we swapped out the large round OEM US-spec steering wheel on his '21 RS7 for the $1,100 flat bottom Euro-spec wheel.
