Had an invite for Friday night to a VIP champagne launch for the A3 Convertible  :sick: and the RS6  :evil: :evil:

Checked out the figures: Twin turbo V10 580ps and 0-62.5 in 4.6secs  :shocked: Mind blowing! I think I may have found my new dream ride! Move over RS4............

Thats only .2 of a second faster than the RS4 and a lot heavier/thirstier! Audi should concentrate on squeezing more power outta smaller, lighter engines. How many people are going to be able to afford a V10 soon?

Had a look at a S3 the other month. Sticker price was £31,000+  :shocked: Full leather Recaros, Solar Orange. No Sat Nav though.

And guess what..............The disk bells were going rusty already  :embarassed: :embarassed:

I got to agree, I really don't know what kind of market Audi are targeting with these kind of petrol thirsty power crazy saloons.

Let's be honest, if you can afford an RS6/RS4/S8 your not going to be too worried about RFL or fuel costs!

Bring on that day  :laugh: :laugh:
