It Happened

My boss came in my office around an hour ago and tossed this on my desk and said "let me know when you're ready". He didn't even make it out of the room before I was up and ready to go.

Dialed into Dynamic mode and my right foot ready, we drove down the street and headed toward the highway. It's quite a comfortable ride, and I can imagine more so when not in Dynamic setting.

When I hit the on ramp to the highway I realized what I had here. This is fucking ridiculously fast. Coming from the driver of Jeeps and a 330Ci the RS5 is insane. It just grips and rips - it goes and goes and goes keeping you pushed into the seat. My face hurts from smiling so much. Grab the paddles and shifts feel almost instant, and the exhaust note is a nice deep rumble when your foot is buried. If you ever get the chance to hop in one of these and go for a ride I highly suggest you do so.

And by "the chance" you mean I have your permission to steal one off the lot, right?

I have ripped in an RS6 avant before. I am sure this would run circles even around that rocketship

I've driven an A4 that is nicely quick, but I can't imagine what something like this would do.

That's what I call starting the year with the right foot.

Sometimes a coffee cup is just a coffee cup. My GF is a huge Ravens fan -__-

I wouldn't know - I didn't push hard enough for the nose to come out.

Haha it's ok - just a mug a got at the Detriot/Ravens game. I'm not a fan per se.

Your foot goes down. The transmission drops and the sound rises. Suddenly you're doing well in excess of any posted speed limits and laughing like a madman. That what something like this would do.

I've been lucky to be able to abuse one of these.

Good fucking god. The M3 might be more technical but the RS5 is...its something else entirely.

Awesome. There is the word. Just awesome.

I don't work at an Audi dealership so...yes. Go do that you won't regret the jail time (but you might regret the buttsecks).

It's a point-and-click cannon with 4 tires. That's the best way I can sum it up.

Don't pretend to know me!

(Yeah I definitely would regret the buttsecks.)

Excellent post. One of these drove past me on the freeway a couple months ago, all black. Beautiful fucking car. And the sound...oh my.

That's outstanding. Drive up to NW DC and pick me up.

Sadly the fun is over. I shall miss this RS5.

My boss has a Santa Fe, that's a good New Years Eve outing.
