RS5 used for cigarette raids

[PhilT]

"The Audi RS5 was travelling so fast that a police helicopter struggled to keep pace with it"
"a crude respray, which changed colour from silver to black"
“Despite the BMW being a powerful car, it was absolutely no match for the Audi.”

But still got caught...

But still got caught...

...and the law won.

I've always thought that best way to avoid helicopters would be to find the busiest shopping centre I could, into the car park and into the building.
Maybe with added shouting of "He's got a gun!" to get some crowd panic...
Never had the need to try it though

Kinda like if you shout "we're all going to die!" in a library everybody just gets cross... Do the same in an aeroplane and everybody else joins in!

Seems an unlikely raiding car... a C6 RS6 avant, yep.

This time, however how many times do they get away and it goes unreported?

I love how you've thought about it. If ever I need to do it I will take your advice.

Must have been into an Audi Dealer then ???

Sadly not too far away from me.

Obviously the limiter is very weak or its been de-restricted, to be able to do 180?

[neckarsulm]

you can pay for derestriction - it in the ad of the cheapest one for sale (£38k)

[RSDave]

Its actually not a derestriction, simply a raised 'limiter' to 174 Mph not 180, derestricted by MTM it does 188MPH......

Has anyone actually found their car to have a 155 limiter? Anyone I've ever seen posting about their high speed shenanigans always appear to be significantly over the 155 mark, making me wonder if it's just an 'on paper' limit.
