OKC Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren attracts attention with the Audi RS 7 super sports car

One of the most exciting rookies in the NBA the last several years is Chet Holmgren. He has a unique body type and exceptional offensive and defensive ability. In the 2022 NBA draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected him second overall, and he stands at 7’1 (2.16 meters) in height.

With good reason, Holmgren was the highest-ever Gonzaga draft pick—selected even ahead of Kevin McHale. In his Summer League debut with the Thunder, he demonstrated hard work by pulling down seven rebounds, scoring 23 points, and dishing out four assists in a 98-77 win over the Utah Jazz.

He sadly suffered a serious foot injury in August while playing in a Pro-am match; he will miss the entirety of the 2022–2023 NBA season as a result.

He looks to be in a good mood because earlier this week he uploaded three pictures of what appears to be a brand-new Audi RS 7 to Instagram. What standards are applied to decide if an item qualifies as an RS 7? At first, we thought it might be the e-tron GT, but the dashboard quickly refuted that theory.

Additionally, the car has frameless doors, which, along with its low ride height, point to the manufacturer’s A7 series as the sole reasonable option. If you look closely at the side skirt cut-out and the flat-bottom Alcantara steering wheel, you can see that this is the most costly RS 7 trim level available through Audi USA. It costs at least $120,900.

From these pictures, it’s hard to tell if Holmgren’s Audi is painted Nardo Grey or Daytona Gray Pearl. It also sports a set of 22-inch polished black five-spoke wheels, and from the dark highlights surrounding the door pillars, it looks to have the manufacturer’s Black Optic package installed.

With its dual turbocharged V8 engine, the RS 7 can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 kph) in 3.5 seconds thanks to its 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque.
