Didn't expect to be saying this on an RS forum. But what's special about this car?

OH NO, THERE'S NO MANUAL OPTION?!?! WTF AUDI!!
I agree!450 ps are 380-400 ps on dyno and no manual gearbox,no hand brake, and weight?Any info?It seems that present M3 sedan and new M3 have no competition from audi.RS4 B7 was a big step from b5.This is not from b7.More complicated only.Also for the rims are awful!
