There are going be trade-offs for each of these cars. I personally think this much power and torque in a large, front-engine car is simply too much for RWD to effectively get to the ground.

I own a tuned Audi S6 which has as much power and more torque than a stock M6 or RS7. I can just hammer the car in all conditions and driving situations, even with the stability full off, and the car just grips and goes like stink. The trade off, of course, is in the steering responsiveness which is much superior with RWD. Still, these are big luxocruisers, not agile track and back road burners, so the steering responsiveness becomes less of an issue.

For a small, more sporty car, give me RWD and a normally aspirated motor. For a big powerhouse turbo motor, I will take AWD.

Styling is subjective, but the M6 is far prettier on the outside than the RS7. RS7 interior, IMO is nicer.

Just my $0.02
