It's a Haldex system rather than the superior quattro system.

This is why I enjoy looking at the TT-RS more than driving it. They just like to push. And push and push and push.

For Audi stuff, the folks at 2Bennett know how to update/restore older stuff to perform.

I'd probably rather have a 3.0T S5 with APR Stage II and pulley upgrades...

I know it's a completely different league and totally irrelevant to @pcasso87, but let's all think back to the S8 in Ronin. Helluva car.

Audi has been making a comeback in the past two years, i'm even starting to see talk about them being better then BMW. The new RS5 is brilliant and the S8 is even better. I'm interested to see what the next Supercar Audi will build, though you could classify the S8 as a supersedan...

My father owns an Audi A7, only thing i don't like is all the people stopping to look at it.

Get it, they are a real laugh. 250KW and that engine note.

APR tune it to unleash the power!

I was considering the TT RS after seeing it in person after a gentleman brought it to the track a few times... It's a very attractive, great car.

Though I'm tracking my car so much that I think the FR-S is the better fit for me and my style... And budget, of course.

M3 sedan. For a daily driver, I don't think it gets better than that.
