Loving the RS6 VERY MUCH (But not an Avant please, I'm not as old as MDP! Wink ). Also loving those blistered arches (Again, not MDP!! Wink Wink ), very 80's Quattro! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

I know it's pre-production etc but that RS6 did look a bit wallowy in the bends.... will be interesting to see how it fares against the stock M5 in real world driving.... I'm happy to evaluate both cars on behalf of the forum if Kam wants to find a couple of examples and send them over Thumbs Up

We were discussing the power race when we met up on Tuesday, and my view was that with 500bhp+ nowadays easily achieveable I think 4wd is becoming a necessity (IMHO)

The problem with fast Audi's of the past has always been that they do not handle or ride as well as their counterparts mainly due to positioning of the engine weight ahead of the front axle.

Then they created something called magnetic dampers introduced on TT, as well as positioning engines further back in the engine bay. Magnetic dampers enabling you to genuinely change ride comfort from harsh/sports to comfort mode.

Maybe this is proof that Audi finally has it right?

If I remember right, this is what Clarkson was saying when he did that RS4 vs the speed climber challenge a couple of years ago. The previous RSs had been very front heavy and as such regardless of 4WD they understeered like ba**ards.
