It's an expected difference between the brands to be fair. Interior and tech on the new Panamera looks awesome, and they've not taken the one size fits all approach that Audi have with the dash. Still get the analogue rev counter. Makes the A6 look like a pensioner.

Aye, back on topic, what was it?!

In that last picture the N/S A pillar makes it look like it's got a cage inside on first glance. :twisted: looks mean as hell!

robf wrote:I actually have no problem with the way the RS6 handles. I have recently fitted H&R coilovers and, although early days, it has revealed that - actually - the DRC setup is pretty good. Because each corner talks to each other, it's managing the car. With the coilovers, it's not been a night and day difference because, whilst roll is reduced a bit, it still feels like a big car!

Lets remember, drivers better than us have rated the C7 pretty highly. It's even faired better on track than expected. For me, the differential plays a big part as you can really feel it tighten the angle of the car as you carry speed into the corner. For me, the faster you go, the better it feels from that respect.

The bit i find annoying is after that initial turn in it doesn't neccessary 'settle'. You then have to put in another steering input that makes me feel like a clumsy driver. This has definetly improved with the H&Rs, but i'd like to fit some beefier roll bars (if they were available). Overall though, i tend to like working with a cars characteristics and seeing what i can get out of them. I'm afraid i'm a stance person - i just wanted it to look better :oops:

Does anyone have a photo of H&R 20mm drop with spacers fitted? I think the only other option is going for K&W adjustable to get mine just right but obviously a lot more cost. I don't think 40mm will work with my 12mm spacers?!
