Nothelle N300 Avant
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 2:42 pm
I've had this car for a couple of weeks now. It's the ex Paul Harris ( Audi Driver ) car, and was bought as a RHD replacement for my LHD RS2.
This car seemingly gives away nothing to the RS2 in terms of power and torque, but delivers it in a completely different fashion.
Unlike many other reports, I didn't find the power delivery of the RS2 "manic" - I just found that I tended to be travelling 50% faster than I thought I was very quickly and with very little fuss.
The N300 on the other hand is very noticeably either on or off boost - and when on, it absolutely flies.
Looking forward to getting even better acquainted with the car, whilst being mindful of the fact that in this weather especially, the quattro drivetrain, no matter how good, cannot overcome the laws of physics!
