At least they have gone back to the right engine, though I'm intrigued that they reckon they have 516Ft Lb torque (=700 Nm) and can get 0-62 in sub 4 sec. I have 880Nm in a lighter car...... wonder what I can get??
Be interesting to see how the air based suspension holds up!!

DRC is an option as are coilovers and adjustables.

Looks really nice. I'm very disappointed that they didn't make
more of an effort with the weight though. 100 kilos off still makes it nearly a 2 tonne car.
Mart.

It's a painful illustration of just how outdated our stupid gearboxes are. Nothing more, nothing less.
Remember the S6 (450bhp) getting a 3.7 0-60?

Do want. I guess they will be cheap as chips in a few years time like the c6 is getting to now.

Looks mean as fook and I love it in red. Lose the "quattro" <beep> in the grill, add 10mm spacers and drop it 10mm. I'd have it. The wheels are 10 times better suited than the one's they've stuck on the B8 RS4. That rear end is mostly boring though, the middle 1/3 section is sleep-inducing.
It's up on torque over the C6 AND it's running S-Tronic 8-speed versus the C6er's 6-speed slushy, that'll be how it cracks the 4sec.
The C7 probably won't tune as well as the C6 due to load per cylinder being higher but it'll no doubt still be quicker for it... 8 gears, 8 of them!
WANT.
/EDIT I wonder if they'll offer it with the sport diff...

No S-Tronic...it's 8 speed slush.

Ah, I misread that "...Audi has opted not to fit a DSG box here." I wonder if it's the same box ZF put in the 'Rarri and the Merc SLS.

Sport diff is generously included though.

Blurb on't website led me to believe diff was in. Didn't stumble across anything on the sus options. But need a proper look.
