From an RX-8 to this

[LukeSi]

That is epic. V10 is it not? Audi definitely got it right. A sensible estate with a huge snarling V10 under the hood. Brilliant car and congratulations on the purchase. If you are ever in the area and fancy giving us a ride in it :P

[robsco]

Very nice OP. And I imagine its barely any thirstier than the RX8 was?

[pwduncan]

Yeah, getting about the same MPG as the RX8 most of the time.

[caymanred]

well done mate v nice car, have you had a proper traffic light start yet? the surge it creates off the line is mad! and no fuss either..

I've been working in the same industry for 28 years (Oil Exploration, Offshore). I finally decided to spend some money on myself. I'm 47 soon and don't want to be too old to appreciate something like this. Strangely, my ambition was to have a Boxster by 50. I really do not know what I am gonna do to top this. Any suggestions are welcome...

Bring it to a PH run out then I can have a go and feel what a properly fast car is like.

You won't, for acceleration at least. Don on here has a DB9 and an RS6 and the RS6 is a lot quicker from what he said a while ago. I think the only place to go from here would be a full on supercar for the experience but even those might not be faster most of the time. Forgot to say, great car and choice hope you enjoy it.

With the amount of fuel that thing must drink, you should probably start working harder to discover even more oil!

Well done, thats a beautiful looking car you've just brought.

[Lord_Howit_Hertz]

....and another, that is a lovely piece of kit there OP, a few of hundred of the queens finest over at DMS could also take this to the stupid region of 700 BHP and 600 lb of torque.

Stunning car in the perfect colour!

[RobCrezz]

[scorchio]

P.s pwduncan do you mind if i send you a wee email to ask some advice as i am in the oil industry too

[caymanred]

have you got a 155mph car or derestricted 174mph? obviously only needed for private roads and autobahns....

[matc]

Superb! Didn't expect that when I read the thread title!

[magnum555]

Congratulations op a truely fantastic car.

[boobles]

Very nice indeed.

[delboy735]

And another.

The only other vehicle of this type is the M5 tourer.I'm a huge BM fan, but as the M5 isn't exactly a looker, then you have my appraisal also. ( not that it makes a difference lol )
Cracking choice, and cracking colour. I'm really not envious............honest.

[Bonefish Blues]

Fantastic car - and improved mpg, too, perhaps?
