Such an awesome car, thanks for the video. Im still not clear on how they managed 0-60 3.6 and 1/4 11.9 on a 4600lbs car with 520hp

Well...that engine produces more horsepower and torque than what Audi quotes.

What he said. Way underrated... Someday I'll own one!

Who needs an RS6...................

Can you imagine tuning it. This thing is running 11's Stock. Ridiculous.......................

[ChicagoAudi]

Exactly! Makes justification for the RS-7 more than reasonable, plus Avantis never did sell much beyond niche volumes in the U.S.

I think it has a lot to do with transmission and launch control as well. The long term review of the A8 was not favorable in terms of repairs though.

Yep, a $2500 headlight, just ONE!

Welcome to the new age of inflation. Look at what has just happened to our brake rotor prices. Can you imagine what parts costs will look like in 8 years for the 2013 S8? My two RS6s may be the end of the road for this guy. Looks like I refigure my next purchase to a new SQ5 or even a S5 and call it good enough. Then buy a new one every 5 years or so.
