I predict six or seven years from now the car wizard will do a video highlighting an Audi RSQ8 bought by Hoovie that will, undoubtedly be mechanically totaled.
i say 2 years all that power eventually will fall apart, yes hoovie be finding one on the cheap and saying what a hell of a deal it was then the car wizard will go it only cost 72K to fix it! wait we cant get some of the parts

Sick. I just bought a used 2017 Q7 Technik. Speaking of depreciation, the guy who traded it in optioned it out to the sum of $115,000 Cdn. I paid 53,000. It only had 16,000km.

@@loganclaproth i’m not saying every Audi but I’m saying that working in the salvage industry I see lots of really nice low mileage Audis and BMWs that are mechanically totaled. And both companies have done some pretty dumb things with very expensive engines.
All right! So where is the reassembly video of the V12 7,000 dollar part replacement going back together? Sure was lookin Forward to hearing that inimitable sound.
I know you love to use your Vbox for 0-60 times but you need to get your own Dragy, the best part is that you can take a video of the run and show the numbers on screen, and then you can add that recording to your videos, it's really awesome!
Hey legit street cars I remember how crazy all the amgs were in the early 2000s that you work on. Back then Audi was sorta in the background. Now Audi makes the most crazy cars that are as mind blowing as the amgs were back then. Hope to see more of these audis on your channel man love em
13:30 - Yah. My car has over 300 ponies and it's probably considered a slow car in the states. Here in europe it's a lot faster than pretty much anything else. Even my daily with 150 has twice as much as the average car.
Here in Finland these start at 217 k euros. Taxes (118 keur of those) included. 😂 And with options you add to their prices also taxes ~80 %. For example the ceramic brakes are 21 keur
I have my RS6 for about 14 months. Left it stock for 7 months then tuned it, has a custom racing titanium exhaust with down pipes. Makes about 1012 hp and we hit 211 mph on the AuthoBahn
How long is it going to take to get rid of the need for unpleasant noises before one can enjoy a car? Back in the 50's, the cars with the biggest engines were also the quietest, which was really great. I am happy that my EV, modest in performance as it is, was made before the little bit of noise was mandated to warn pedestrians. I enjoy it the most with the windows open in parking garages, where every tire scrch is audible. Anyway, the end of the ICE age is upon us, like it or not.
I have 2021 Charger Scat Pack WB with ZF 8 speed, and this trans RIPS!! I love it, first car when I tend to leave it in D :D Track mode makes it that you get a headache from shifts, lol.
Use to help a shop here an miss it. We made our own graphics an even build are own body kits an custom interiors. The only thing we didnt do was engine work other then maybe turbos. We built alot of cars for SEMA autoshow every year. Alot of work but was always fun.
These are neat, but I think it would make more sense as an "RSQ7" - kinda like the X5M versus the X6M. These slope-roofed SUV's are weird. You take a practical thing, then make it way less practical. Just very odd, and seems like everyone's making them now.
I love the 2.7 second (0-60mph) launches on a stock Mercedes 2018+ Mercedes E63S AMG. Dynos show Mercedes Severely underrated it, considering the Mercedes GT63S is the Fastest Production 4 door sedan on the Nurburgring 🤷♂️😂 and it has the same exact Power Train minus the Active-Aero & Suspension
that base price is very good considering the Dutch price tag of 204.315 euro or converted back to dollars 243.201 us dollars!?! a whole free car with 20.000 dollars to spare!?! thats insane Those co2 taxes truely have gone insane here in Holland....
Alex, pls explain how car companies do this variable torque distribution in a 4WD. I have read about VW to use a visco(se) clutch. Do japanese carbuilders use different methods to achive that goal?
Audi RSQ8 is cool but there's just something about a wagon not to mention the resale on it will most likely be insane. It dawned on me its been 2 years since you bought the cdi's damn time flies, tripped over your channel about the 402k miles E55. I guess it does when your having fun, keep it up.
I foolishly took on a Q8 in my new M3 while on the post delivery tour of Germany...as i hit the limiter the Q8 walked away from me like no tomorrow. Lesson learned!
forget the doug score, introducing the alex smile-o-meter lol. I don't think the score for the audi would be as high as the score for the properly running e55 wagon though.....
15 years, a lot of battery cars on the road. Probably half. But it will take a while for the gas car to cycle out and then eventually it will be the enthusiast/collector car for the people that care. Charging infrastructure is what's holding people back. Public charging has to get faster and home charging has to be easier to access (mainly for those living in apartments, townhouses, areas where having your own charger might be difficult)
I live in south Africa and I have to say electric in 15 year is a deep pipe dream, we just discovered building and tuning, well we've been in it for a while but accessibility is only growing now. And our electricity infrastructure is terrible. Importing a Tesla here costs as much as two of those Audis or the cost of a Lamborghini Urus and some change so no
I owned a used 1998 Audi A8 for about three years. Loved the car. Didn't love the complexity of fixing things. I don't mind working on cars but its a pain when the same items break or simple things to fix need to have half the car taken apart . Are the newer Audi cars more reliable and easier to work on?
ICE will have a place in performance cars for at least another 10 years... BUT they will be Hybrid. You just cannot beat the efficiency of an electric drivetrain... it enables so many good things... performance as well as economy.
Alex, I have a garage with 15 vintage motorcycles, all two stroke, manufactured from the early 60's to the mid 00's. No way in hell I will ever give up riding these things - and you should have the same attitude with your ICE four wheel cages ("biker slang" for automobiles). Sure I just bought a hybrid Avalon - because it was a bargain, not because I'm a tree hugger - it is something my 89 yo mother will enjoy driving. I'm not yet at the point of pulling the trigger on a '15-16 e63S AMG, but I hope to be soon (your influence has a lot to do with this). Performance will always be a requirement. Heck, my 25 year old Explorer (w/ 500K mi) has a FoMoCo performance header and Borla exhaust - because I could. No one can stop me. Time for you to move away from Chi town. Outside of LA/CA, Chicago/IL is probably the worst place to live in regard to rules and regulations controlling/ruining your life. At least move to IN and commute in ... once you taste a bit of more freedom than you have now, you will understand. And yes, more updates on the SL65 please. Thanks for all you do, and I truly hope you have an awesome week!
It's been 20 model years since the Prius came to North America, 9 years since the Model S, 8 years since the i3. All electric cars-including HEV, PHEV & PHEV-still only comprise a single-digit percentage of market share. Think about that.

Why would you lower the RS6? Its stance is perfect.
It’s not for stance, it’s for handling..it’s not like it’s springs. it’s a module.
Idk man, aesthetically I’d like it 0.5 - 0.75 inches lower. Fender gap could be a tad better managed.
@@sheshellsseasells my understanding is that the handling is already excellent, but to each their own, right?
@@rickbdatsun this is true, but the module doesn’t mean it stays lowered. It is adjustable. I’m guessing for track days.

They do that stock when ACC is on.
@@Powersproductions130 Adaptive Cruise Control does that??

Audi spends millions designing their suspensions and than people lower them and ruin the ride quality. For what just to say your car is lowered.
Ehm.. they are designed so good that they continuously break just in stock form
Agree, people can’t resist messing with perfection, to look “cool”.
It’s a lowering module that runs on factory air suspension. Nothing is ruined.
You can buy the cars off them and put the factory suspension back on if you would like.
The only limitation there will be, will be the limitation of competent drivers that can safely operate the vehicles.
Those plebs can't afford this so not to worry.
