German Magazine RS3 instrumented test

I imagine numbers will start trickling in as cars arrive but here is the first instrumented test of a 400hp RS3 saloon I've seen. It's in German so you'll have to google translate, es sei denn, Sie...

Thanks for the reply. Do you drive over pretty rough roads?

My perspective is that I've driven an air suspension S6 the last 3 years. The suspension is perfect for that car. But if I'm going to...

2015 CPO RS7 w/35K miles...fair price?

Hoping to get a little feedback on a potential RS7 buy. A dealer in the PacNW has 3 CPO RS7s. I test drove one that had standard air suspension. It was every so slightly stiffer than my 2013 S6...

Got to enjoy a 2015 A8 4.0T (nwb) loaner for a day while my S6 got its summer rubber on. I came away mightily impressed. Reviews claim the car drives a lot smaller than it actually is. The reviews...

You are reading correctly. The pre-facelifted S6 and S7 test out the way you would expect with the weight difference. Perhaps weather conditions were unfavorable when they tested the new car? Here...

It feels like they mailed in the comparison to the BMW 550 M sport. Unless Europe gets a much more hard core version, most every other review blasts it for its disconnected handling feel.

If isn't the S6 is the most laughably underrated engine ever sold here, it's close.

It has to be making at least 460hp stock. At least. Car and Driver tested a 2015 Challenger that weighs six...

Take this for what it's worth but I started a chat session with an Audi N.A. rep. last night. I asked her specifically about the engine updates for the S6/S7 in the 2015 model. She insisted there...

So has anyone been able to determine if the 30hp bump is real or a re-rating? If it's real, what are the mechanical/ECU changes done to achieve it and can owners of the 2013 & 2014 cars have these...

Good question. Also, is there a specific mechanical or ECU upgrade done to the S7 to account for the 30hp boost? Or is Audi simply rating the engine at what every dyno on the planet says it...

Thanks for sharing! If I had a drunk Irish uncle that did car reviews, this is what I imagine he'd be like. And I mean that as a complement because I enjoyed this for the most part.

Totally depends on driving style and city/hwy mix. On a recent highway trip to the Columbia gorge, I got 26 mpg. Shorter trips, when I'm blasting around town, it's closer to 14 mpg. We'll see what...

Not me. Avant or die. I wanna tap that RS6 a$$ like a soda fountain. Besides, we already have the S6, the RS7 and the S8. What wagons does Audi currently offer the U.S? A4 Allroad. Please.
