I love the S models, but their just the higher level base........ Not ultra high preformance
the only thing "similar" is the price tag, which makes the audi's even less attractive from a value point of view.

i think audi made it work with the s line naming convention. but as soon as one looks more into the numbers and what the cars are capable of...

Can't imagine what would happen if those little electric motors in the nav and tweeters break. But even without pop up stuff:



They're just not very good.

Holy crap, the Avant version looks stunningly perfect.

Seriously:
If the S6 Avant looks bad-*** in this form, then what more with an RS6 Avant. HOLY ****!!!!!!

Btw, I think will also be the first time where S8 will have BOTH more power AND torque over the W12 version.

Haha, that would raise the bar as an S-class AMG competitor.

Btw:
Audi is considering if they should build an A9 (yes an A9). If the project is approved, then damn, there might even be an RS9

Hot damn

I love them all. I think the S7 is one of the better sedans to hit the market in a while.
