New S4 V8 video review (in French)

Post by Taipan » Sun May 25, 2003 8:09 pm

Just out of Turbo this week-end (french equivalent to Top Gear), a brief video review of the S4.

Interesting first shots of the S4 accelerating on a wet tarmac with and without the ESP.
(filmed at the Audi Quattro training center north of Paris. did 3 courses there, they do brainwash you about the ESP [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img])
And then a few shots on the track.

Basically the journalist says "incredible ESP, impressive handling, lot of pleasure to drive, even with the ESP on" [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Go for the Real Player version, I found a crisper image & better sound.
