I must say I'm particularly impressed how good Nardo looks on the C8. Personal opinion, but I think Nardo suits the C8 more than it did the C7.

In my view cars suit some colors more than others. Sepang was a fairly popular C7 color (which I thought looked good) it but it would be interesting to see how well it would work on the C8. At the end of the day its all personal preference I suppose

I originally was going for a Navarra Blue C8 and waiting for a stock car to come into the dealership. When I turned up to view it there also sat a Nardo Grey as well. Ended up not taking the blue and getting hold of grey instead. In my opinions it showed off the lines, shape of the car and the gloss black surrounds so much better. The blue was a lovely colour but was just not for me.

I have a Sepang C8, I think it looks great but others aren’t so sure. Like you said it’s all personal preference.

Paddy is the most annoying presenter ever. Unbearable, the guys just shouts all the time.

Oddly the RS6 in the show is red, but the registration used is on a grey one now.....

I wonder what time the C7/ Performance would have done round the track?

Shame the car they used on Top Gear wasn’t on DRC and not air suspension which they fit to the Carbon Black. Might have been a bit flatter round the corners

I feel sad...C8 does <beep> on Carwow and now looses to an SUV! Tyres should not have been an issue. Come on Audi...step it up.

It’s too heavy. Been built for the U.S. Market and it’s been loaded with gizmos. Still impressive for a 2.1 tonne estate car.

Yeah she is very heavy - the hybrid system doesn't help with the weight

The new Porsche Panamera has a hybrid system but that hasn’t slowed it down
