Ha ! Hope they know that the DRC will probably fail and the car will spend more time in the workshop than on the road !!

Jeremy Hicks, director of Audi UK, said: “For the RS 6 to be chosen by the ACPO for a task which inevitably involves high speed driving often in close proximity to the general public shows great confidence in the integrity of our cars"

So he will talk to them but wont return my emails or calls. And all I can say is the police cant know any better, they should of asked us first!

It's just a PR stunt as I am sure they have loads unsold still and I am sure no money will have changed hands

Yeah, the car is on loan apparently to the police. Not sure what Audi will gain from it? Do people go and buy a car just because the police use it?

As for the DRC, I can't wait to read the follow up press report saying they have dumped the car outside for workshop for the last time and thrown the keys at the receptionist :lol:
