"German car manufacturer has sparked criticism with its new estate car that, with a top speed of 189mph, is as fast as a Ferrari.
"
Now most know that I am an Audiphile first, but at the same time 189mph does not equal fast as a Ferrari... unless you are asking the Ferrari to stop accelerating. ( Last time I checked the California tops out at 193mph +/- )
"The four-wheel drive 'supercar' can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds."
By comparison, a Ferrari California gets to 62mph in 3.8 seconds and a Porsche 911 takes 4.1 seconds.
"
Um , again 3.9 is actually slower than 3.8, but it IS faster than the Porsche @ 4.1.... LoL
If you're going to target Ferrari with the latest and greatest Rs6 Avant, you need to go against the like kind Ferrari.. the FF. 4 passenger, cargo room in the back, all wheel drive, etc... NOT the slowest Ferrari in the current fleet.. I mean why not say it IS faster than a Ferrari and use an 80's 3x8... at least the claims would be true...
Now, back to Audi.. I spent last night driving the RS5 and other S models one after the other, I can only imagine how much fun the Rs6 Avant would be, just wish WE could get them here..
Rant off, Flame suit on..

p.s. I really had to restrain myself at a charity event at a local drag strip, I had a FF out for show and really wanted to take a pass or two, just to see.. < shrug >

What do you know about Ferrari's anyway?
2008 A4 2.0TQ Quartz Grey Metallic S-Line/Titanium Package
2017 A4 2.0TQ Glacier White Metallic Prestige Sport
2003 RS6 TOTALED.-----Searching for a replacement
2% margin of error....I'll take that in a race any day. Standard day, tires, wind, humidity, driver......top speed and 0-60/62. Show me a 5-10% difference and you'd have me convinced.
And oh I would just so LOVE to see Ferrari accept the challenge of running a California against a grocery getting, kid hauling, trailer pulling station wagon RS6.......just like I LOVE to come against an R8, 911, or any other "sports car" in my grocery getting, kid hauling, trailer pulling sedan

You know what I know.... < wink >
I didn't make my point well, Taking Audi's Halo car and putting it up againts the entry level Ferrari and calling it a race is laughable. Pick ANY current production car other than the California, and it'll be more than 10% I assure you.
As I said before, you may as well be using a 308 as the comparison, that way it WILL be faster than a Ferrari in every sense of the word.
So, bring the Rs6, we can pick out a modern Ferrari, and do some side by side comparisons, just for fun... like the FF maybe? 4 seats, AWD, grocery getter...
We can make a run from Point A to Grocery Store and back again ... that would be fun!
S
p.s. And just for the record, I am having fun and am in no way taking this seriously, I do have extensive experience from both sides of the fence and have a two dogs in the fight so to speak..lol
