omg !

this 2 tonne, beast of a car eats ferraris and porsches for snacks.

fyi ... 4.0 v8 hot v twinturbo, 450kw/750nm, 0-100kmh 3.7 sec

i was fortunate enough to have one over the weekend and it was endless fun.

in typical german fashion it was a bit soulless and severely lacking in driver feedback.

docile as your granny's corolla but slap it in sport mode and the thing is like a dtm touring car !

listen to this vid  



 

Audis, ugly as.
Germans, no idea about style.

IMVHO of course

Speaking of large V8s & 0-100 in the 3's, I ran across these Corvette guys in the weekend...

hahah no comparison, the big german would clean them out

In a straight line maybe not, do you think?....

maybe... maybe not ...

those are 0-60mph times, source ?
0-100kmh (62mph) can easily add 0.5 sec, especially for modern manuals, few would get to 100kmh with one gear change ?
better chance with an auto or something with sky high gearing, probably one of those 'vetes !

lol

then there's the question of awd traction vs rwd.
there's zero slack in the rs6 drivetrain, no launch control either, it just hooksup and flies.
