The estate version was doing endurance testing at the Ring when we there. It absolutely annialated the Mercedes AMG CLK 63 / new M3s that were also on track and was CONSISTANTLY averaging full laps every 8min 20s .

The way it was being hustled through Briedschied (sp?) was a sight to behold .

But gets absolutely pasted on the road and track in dynamic driving ability . Must hurt BMW badly that an AUDI provides the ultimate driving entertainment .

By a whisker!

I'd be happy to have the RS4 or RS6 anyday instead of the CSL as they suit more of the driving I do. This may become a reality if Sam keeps banging on about how hard it is to get our 2 year old in the baby seat

i dont agree, havent driven one, no doubt i may change my mind then

but having sat in one and revved the hell out of one, i was impressed but would still rather have the new m3

me in said Audi



if i was after a mid engined sports car, a lambo or ferrari is more for me

anyway anyone buying the current R8 is doin themseves over, as there bringing out the v10 soon and there is currenty people payin 10k over list for em

driving it soon tho

So basically you're making a judgement on a car by sitting in one and valve bouncing it?

Best not do that in your dads beemer, he might take the keys away and ground you

Well the R8 we saw being tested at the Ring, fucking raped everything it came up against..........Including the M5 Touring!

PS that was a private test day!

I'd have the Audi all day long over beemers! Fuck being classed a cunt by all and sundry!

Tho the old RS6 is coming down in price, but i cant get my head round 450bhp and an auto box!

I fucking HATE the new shape 5 series, and the M version is no exception - fucking GASH looking car!!!!!

The E90 3series coupe is growing on me a little, but still not into it much....

I love the new crop of Audi's tho, tho as said, the 6 is a little "off" comparred to the rest...

Saw a gorgeous brand new S8 the other day tho - thats a fucking tasty looking beast! Bit too big for me tho
