GT-R is required.
Audi RS5
- Thread starter Spie
- Start date
Hi there
Audi RS5
- Amazing sound (V8)
- Very smooth DSG gearbox
- Looks gorgeous
- Fantastic interior
- Overall great build quality
- Upmarket image
- Better performing cars and more capable cars available
Nissan GTR
- Faster
- Better traction
- Better handling
- Good fun to drive
- Very very capable
- Did I say FASTER!
I've been in the GTR with an Audi R8 attempting to keep up. The GTR had an average driver, the R8 had a very good driver, the GTR absolutely slaughtered the R8, it was not even close. On the road the GTR is simply amazing, on a racetrack things would be closer no doubt.

Required for you to thrash Nath ?

He probably doesn't want to embarrass his Ferrari
Anything with 4WD will embarrass the Ferrari in the snow (well, almost anything)!
The GTR is impressive, but its attraction is only performance. I have a performance car.
This is something more practical. Just been reading about the Panamera gearshift and there is talk of it being changed. Trouble is when you spec a Panamera 4S it's easy to tip over £100K. The RS5 fully loaded is more like £75K.

I wouldn't even consider driving a RWD 620BHP car in the snow.

Sounds like the RS5 is winning.
What colour would you prefer ? They look sensational in black imho.

If it's practicality that you want then why are you looking at 2+2 coupés? I realise that you said "more" practical but I'd say that you may as well go all the way and get something actually practical like a BMW 535x estate.

I have a friend who has an RS5 but it's the V6 one, still loves it though
You must mean the S5 (Later model as the pre-facelift comes with a V8)
Soldato
That'd be my shout too.
As Spie IIRC lives in the land of LHD, I'd be looking at an 550i xDrive (saloon)

Personally I love the RS5s, and don't care how they compare to the M3s etc, as they aren't 4x4.
Seriously is a great car.

He does but not America

Oh I see, not really in the same league as the RS5 then.It's a shame they didn't do any 4x4's with a nice V8 in tbh.
How about a 340bhp AWD?

Despite SWMBO being Swiss mine is pretty naff, but from the little I know page 3 lists the 550i xDrive yes?

Welcome to middle age, downhill from here our kid.
Nothing really to challenge the RS5 IMO. A good friend has an S5 and it's a wonderful car,looks good,goes well,interior is beautifully built. I wouldn't hesitate if you require 4WD. I find a lot of reviews these days talk nonsense,who cares what's quicker around a track,most of the time these cars are going to be driven in everyday scenarios,the RS5 would be perfect!
