I like these quotes :

You wouldn't do it to a car you actually owned, but testing the RS4's acceleration involves slipping your foot sideways off the clutch with just under 6,000rpm on the rev counter. Like a character in a Roadrunner cartoon, the Audi leaps in the air, spins its wheels, lands and just goes. It's one of the most amazing road-testing experiences.

You could get in a lot of trouble with this car if you abuse the incredibly high levels of grip
