On derestricted autobahn today, sitting at 240, thinking that I never see any fast Audis on that stretch of abahn. Then, a golden/sandy 7 chases up my rear and moves me aside, i went full belt and he kept accelerating, so I politely moved over.

Now, i know there's a rule that if there are no photos, then it doesn't exist or didn't happen BUT you'll have to take my word for it. I was overtaken by said car which seems to have a lot of power, flared wheelarches, wider stance and for some reason, a (very much) depolyed spoiler as it overtook me. Could've been, might've been, then again maybe not, an RS7 tester but it was followed by two RS6s, both C5s, one a Plus, the other a pristine silver saloon.

Maybe article to appear soon in a German car mag comparing this with originals etc. or maybe I just saw a modified 7 with a very brave driver. Either way, it looked the business and it put a lot of distance between it and my car in a very short timeframe, it was really moving very fast and accelerating hard, even above 240.

Think I really should buy a dashcam next...
