As others have said it’s the s line oil burners trying to prove a point and exactly the same with BMW and Mercs. My old 9-3 Aero out guns most of them and they hate it. From what I have noticed in last year of my commute proper Ms AMG and RS are driven pretty sensibly. I only remember once some Merc came up behind me flashing lights so I nailed it. Got to 135 before thinking ok this is obviously a proper one. Moved over and it was a c63AMG being driven by an old lady!!!!
In Germany? If this happened at all......
s, often found with a chip on their shoulder about leasing

It’s very quick, fastest S in the range and faster than some of the RS models...
... thus making this thread kinda stupid.
ive just googled it, seems its a special S+ version is the big boy. It seems to be in place of an RS8 (which deosn't seem to exist?)... thus making this thread kinda stupid.
wonder how many of these beats exist on UK roads, love to see one.

Perhaps you should edit your OP to reflect only the S cars you have a problem with.

has this turned into an argument about what the fastest car?! whose dad is the hardest? whose todger is bigger?!
again how odd.
want some fish with that chip...jeez
wonder what you were banned for in your previous username on here?

Out of interest, what track(s) is the S8 the quicker then the smaller 'S' models? Genuine question as I imagine its quite a lump to stop and take bends at speed.... thus making this thread kinda stupid.

sorry i should be busy editing the OP as apparently this is about how fast they go now
Your OP suggests that those who drive S cars have something to “proove” however you seem to only have concern towards the slower S cars in the lower model range such as S1-S5.
So therefore generalising the whole S range is wrong.
Maybe people just choose certain S cars because it’s right for them?
Perhaps they want something a bit quicker than an A but not as ‘mid life crisis’ as an RS.

where have i expressed concern against specifically the 'slower' S cars. yes ive used 2 examples admittedly that i put s3 and 5 in, but i could easily replace the numbers of the car (apart from s8 as have never seen one) in the examples if i so wished as S6/7's are driven even more aggressively than the others.
im generalizing my experience in the southeast as that's all i can go on. ime they are driven like cockwombles in an aggressive manner, and there's plenty around here. your opinion is different. if we all thought the same would be pretty boring world.
as someone posted above, the m cars, amgs and RS are driven sensibly on the main that i see.
i would hardly say RS is mid life crisis car than any other nice whip is.
IMO there are aggressive and inappropriate drivers of all types of cars, vans, supermarket trolleys, its more to do with the person than the marque. But because Audi S cars are so point and squirt quick, while making silly pops and bangs, they stick out more and turn everyones disapproving heads. Mercedes are probably the worst offenders ive noticed.

You see this a lot with cars that aren't the fast model but are styled as such. They will be driven as if they are the fast model so it's not uncommon for them to be speeding, trying to push other cars out the way etc.
I think it goes for many models though, whether it's an A Class diesel that looks a bit like an A45 or 3 series with an M badge on.
It's not always the way but often someone who specifically adds the AMG/RS/M styling packs to normal cars, they know that these fast models exist and think/hope in some way theirs is now comparable.
The irony is that many drivers of the seriously fast version out there, feel very little need to prove how quick their car is!

this is not audi bashing thread please. im well aware of the rep of audi, but dont see it really much more than any other marques in the models that have been misbadged, or blacked out or debadged with just the 2 diesel exhausts (you get this in all marques that have such models,be it BMW, Audi, Merc etc), so dont want this to descend into audi bashing thread, as i dont think boggo audis are any worse in that respect than your equivalent in any marque.
I only see it consistently with the S variants. Be it S3 screaming up the town centre on a friday night, or s5/6 up your arse.
RS's are fine, ive only seen a few but never driven like bellends ime,
You've said it yourself, you see more S than RS so the amound of idiots will be higher.I only see it consistently with the S variants. Be it S3 screaming up the town centre on a friday night, or s5/6 up your arse.

S models are fairly common, even moreso if you add in the misbadged brigade.
