Saw what looked to be an RS7 parked up at Salford Quays last night, having been rear-ended by a sporty looking C-class.  Looked very expensive!

 

Ouch!


RS3 8V | RS3 8P

Not only is that 4-litre twin scroll turbo engine in the RS7 so sweaty palm but the brakes are something you'll not want to stand on for too long also - as the Merc driver now understands only too well. 

 

That RS7 is some tool!  And on my next Audi RS experience invitation (please) it'll be breakfast and then an RS7, lunch and then an RS7, followed by afternoon tea and biscuits and an RS7... 

 

Tried four different tape measures now if only to prove that an RS7 will not fit my garage, even a shortened one from Salford Quays; tsk.

It's the only road car engine I've ever experienced that seems to be 110% FULL just waiting to be let out; I still can't get my head around it.  

 

That 4-litre twin scroll turbo is something else; as was its 55-miles at an 11mpg overall average...   :84:

Garage space and the price tag if the RS6 / 7 are my limiting factors.
I can only get the RS3 in with folding electric mirrors.

I can't be doing with street parking/competing with neighbours for a space.

I would love a double garage /workshop like John's ( 45bvtc) to tinker in.
