patently Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's a fücking estate car. It's a device used at the weekend to take perfectly decent stuff to the tip and then transport chintzy tat home from the garden centre and diy store. How the fück such a thing became an object of desire I will never understand. Whatever fücking colour it is. Niiiiiiiiiice colour though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I quite like the RS6 to be honest. But mainly for its absolute brutish thuggery rather than its looks. They sound ****ing awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I vividly remember going to Oulton Park one Sunday morning and was just behind an SLR, I floored it and so did he after a care moved out of the way. Oh my did it disappear, it was in the paddock when I got there it just flew. It was a strange marriage of Merc and McLaren but a pretty fast car.

Ian_C Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Someone on RS246 posted up a 0-100 mph comparison for the current McLaren 570 S, R8 V10+ and 991 Turbo S the other day (figures from Fastestlaps.com) 570 S - 6.3s 991 S - 6.2s V10+ - 5.9s Thats just potty compared to 7.4 / 7.5 to 100 mph for the SLR, which was a seriously seriously fast car when it came out in 2003. http://fastestlaps.com/models/mclaren-570s http://fastestlaps.com/models/porsche-911-turbo-s-991 http://fastestlaps.com/models/audi-r8-plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The SLR isn't dating well is it, pretty much anything Merc from that era looks very dated now. It's odd that even older Mercs still look good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never had the desire to frequent single brand forums, are they all as bad as this? Or is the fanboy nature of Audi worse than most? Do they even know they're doing it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember TG taking a 458, a McLaren and an R8 to Spain? And concluding that the R8 was faster, better value, more practical, better built, better designed, and therefore they'd definitely and without hesitation have the 458. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps lol, that wasn't the point of my post, I was just trying to say you can have 6 seconds to 100 mph for sub 150k nowadays. Years ago you needed an Mclaren F1, Enzo, FXX, Veryon, or a 1000 bhp Ruf etc etc to get even close to that! Progress.... (I remember thinking that 0-60 mph in 6 seconds was fast when I was growing up as a kid reading TG magazine etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just teasing. It's a valid point. But I bet you were quite pleased the Audi won... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I can honestly say, if I'd saved my last penny to get to 150k, a base spec 570 S with buckets and silly paint would be where I'd put my money. Good residuals, exclusivity, dealer customer service etc Second hand though, R8 everytime, you can have a 550 bhp old shape 'plus' with 5000-10,000 miles for 80-85k nowadays. And they don't understeer as much as the new shape R8 or Huracan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 There's a 570s in my secure parking at work. I can confirm it is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I pass the dealer every day pretty much. There is a lovely P1 in there at the moment they its great to see all the wonderful different colour options they go for and the race P1, well it was hard not to crash passing it for a few weeks.
