Officers linked the car, which has a Lamborghini engine and is one of only two in the country.....

The court heard the car had a Lamborghini engine, a specially designed panoramic glass roof, racing car brakes and a top speed of 200mph.

Great stuff

Do their reporters take no pride at all in their work?

It was a "modified Audi RS5" lol

I enjoyed reading the.....

"Despite the BMW being a powerful car, it was absolutely no match for the Audi."

Clearly the BMW wasn't remapped

"Only two in the country"

Aren't there more than that in PH classifieds.

So modifed it was actually an RS6.

I do get the feeling they are in some way attempting to make it appear that it's the cars fault...

[RobCrezz]

Shocking reporting. Plucking random facts from Top Gear.

[Elroy Blue]

You all sound surprised. It's the Daily Mail. That rag hasn't printed a shred of truth for years. It's a disgrace to the printed word.

[KungFuPanda]

The RS5 is also described as a saloon. Isn't it a coupe?

[camshafted]

They're reporting what was said in court.

And in the picture is an Audi RS5.

Could it not be possible that there's an Audi RS5 which has been fitted with the RS6's engine?

[Motorrad]

The specially designed panoramic glass roof probably allowed the criminal mastermind to keep tabs on and evade the helicopter. They should be banned. NOW.

Exactly, and the same details are being reported by all the newspapers covering the story not just the DM.

[Jandywa]

How hard is it for a journalist to google the car they are writing about to at least get the fking basics right

There was certainly one parked outside my gym this morning! I wonder how much the Daily Mail pay their researchers to come up with st like this - maybe I could earn some extra cash, perhaps even £85k for an Audi RS5 (the one with the Lamborghini engine). There's only two in the country, y'know...

[DanDC5]

180mph? That 155mph limiter mustn't be very accurate then.

Reported the same by all covering the story because that is what they were told in court. Journalists in reporting what they are told in court and not making it up shocker.

It wasn't a standard RS5, it would appear he had it for quite a while and made a few changes.

[Carfiend]

But with all those modifications when he hit 88mph did they see some serious st?

[Jaged]

Perhaps the DM know more than the average PH'er these days?
