    That Audi 90 IMSA car is a monster. After entering the Trans-Am series in 1988 with the 200 Quattro and absolutely owning the rest of the field that year, Trans-Am officials imposed restrictions to penalize Audi’s AWD and other innovations. (“Hey, let’s change the rules if we can’t compete with them!”). Audi continued to dominate despite the restrictions until Trans-Am officials banned AWD outright.
    So, Audi joined IMSA, which had less restrictions. That 90 Quattro made 720 hp from 2.1 liters. Unfortunately, the reliability went down, and Audi had many DNFs in 1990. However, when nothing broke or crashed, they won. That they were still contenders for the championship despite the many DNFs is a testament to how dominant this car was. Those revs from that 5-cylinder bring goosebumps when you consider the history of that car.

    I wish more automakers made mainstream wagons and shooting brakes instead of SUV’s…. They have more character and probably more economical and practical

    • @SheerHippo
      @SheerHippo 3 месяца назад +54

      A performance wagon isn't more practical than a performance SUV. The extra ride height and interior space that an SUV provides is a huge benefit. I love wagons, but the reason they don't sell well is because SUVs make more sense to the masses if you're living with them every day.

      This RS6 is honestly disappointing.
      Audi did literally the smallest changes and call it a throwback.
      They could’ve did what Porsche did, add rear bucket seats to improve weight.
      Add more carbon fibre to improve upon chassis….
      Add roll-bars to improve upon balance.
      Audi didn’t even bother to improve power for a limited production model.
      What they actually did was give it a colour scheme, slightly improve upon suspension, (probably borrowed from Lamborghini), and literally call it a day after increasing the cost 40K from the standard RS6

Then they jacked up the price by about +50K under the pretext of better suspension and three carbon fiber panels. Marketing guys are amazing.

    Multiple things:
    1• This livery for a road going car is phenomenal. It is truly a perfect modernization of the race car. The graffics resemble the box wide body. Pin stripe-sque edge of panel in body color... chefs kiss! Even thining out the front fender graffic keeps the front end light. You know, with that flamboyant bumper! Simply beautiful execution, this livery.
    2• The wheels match the same smooth concavity as the race car, yet still manage to make it modern AUDI.
    3• We (Americans) always get the crappy seats compared to Europe. I would assume crash safety be to blame. Seat side air bag??
    4• I would get a set of replacement oem keys. Maybe let these sit on my desk at work in a custom case similar to a signed baseball. Ultimate soft flex and amazing storytelling potential.
    5• A custom striped seat belt would be a stacky must. Im pretty sure BMW made it look good.

I had an brand new A5 in 2013 and I loved it. Originally I went to the dealer to get an S4 but the payments were a bit much to stomach at the time. But the A5 was in glacier white metallic on the showroom floor and I fell in love with it.

It should be easy to find the screen with your fingers without looking, and that’s really all that matters for the statement to be true. While you may not adjust exactly what you intend to adjust, you will adjust something.

  • @RetroKingOG

    It’s honestly disappointing Audi did so little to change the car and then called it a throwback to the original racing design.
    They could’ve did what Porsche did with their wagon; turn the back seats into bucket seats to improve upon lighter weight standard.
    Give it more carbon fibre to lighten the weight of the overall chassis. Maybe add some crossbars in back to improve balance, to make it seem more of a legitimate throwback.
    Instead; Audi was like:
    “Let’s give it a colour scheme, slightly improve upon suspension and raise price up 40K from standard RS6, that seems fair!”

    Why do I feel Audi put more effort into the RS6 GT than the R8 GT? I would think they would go far and beyond with both cars, but especially with the R8 considering it's supposed to be the last of the Audi R8s and the fact that it's a mid-engine supercar with a naturally aspirated V10. I'm aware that there are some performance upgrades in the new R8 GT, but not as much as one would think given the times we're in. The first generation of the R8 GT honestly felt more special.
