OKC Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren draws eyes with his Audi RS 7 on 22-inch wheels

Chet Holmgren is one of the NBA’s most promising rookies in recent years. His body is extraordinary, and he possesses great attacking and defensive skills. In addition, he stands 7’1 (2.16 m) and was selected second overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2022 NBA draft.

Holmgren was, with good cause, the highest draft pick ever made by Gonzaga, surpassing even Kevin McHale. In his Thunder Summer League debut, he was diligent, earning seven rebounds, 23 points, and four assists in a 98-77 victory over the Utah Jazz.

He unfortunately had a severe foot injury during a Pro-am game in August, and he will miss the entire 2022-23 NBA season.

He posted three Instagram photographs earlier this week of what appears to be a brand-new Audi RS 7, indicating that he is in a good mood. What criteria are used to decide whether an item is RS 7? We initially thought it was the e-tron GT, but the dashboard design rapidly debunked this.

Furthermore, the car has frameless doors, which, paired with its low ride height, leads to the only logical conclusion: the manufacturer’s A7 line. A closer look at the side skirt cut-out and flat-bottom Alcantara steering wheel reveals that this is the most expensive RS 7 trim level, starting at $120,900 from Audi USA.

The photos make it impossible to determine if Holmgren’s Audi is painted Daytona Grey Pearl or Nardo Grey. We also noted a pair of 22-inch polished black five V-spoke wheels, and the dark highlights around the door pillars indicate that it has the manufacturer’s Black Optic option.

In terms of performance, the RS 7’s dual turbocharged V8 engine generates 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from zero to sixty mph (97 kph) in 3.5 seconds.
