Gents,
Just picked the car up this AM and took the scenic route back to London. Car is v special indeed, so different to the RS6 in how it builds the speed magic above 6k rpm.It almost has an analogue feel to it...sport button only, no digital cockpit, no drive select ...simplicity which I really like tbh. Car feels light and very responsive on the front end, ceramic brakes are phenomenal. That hard mechanical noise of the V10 is so nice, so hard to get it to the redline on normal roads tho, a visit to a UK racetrack is necessary I think. Very comfortable when cruising on motorway too, estoril blue looks fantastic in the sun as well. I'm already smitten going to the ring at end of Sep (not sure if I'll track it tho TF sessions too busy) so that'll be a nice road trip with some spirited driving on those de-restricted autobahns no doubt :biggrin3:
