It is so much more aggressive than I thought it would be. The backfires on downshifts are terrifyingly awesome. It is like driving an R8 V10 with four doors.

Awesome! I drove one over the weekend along with an R8 V10 and S8, it definitely surprised me on the aggressiveness as well. Full Throttle under a bridge with the window down scared the crap out of me. Dealer told me they are only bringing 2 a year to my state (Utah), and there's a couple year waiting list, so sadly I won't be buying one anytime soon :(. Great cars though, bet you had fun!

You could get another dealer from out of state to ship it. I'm a buyers consultant and work with a few Audi dealers. I have one particular contact that specializes in RS cars.

Oh no not pissed, glad a fellow Opponaut got a chance to try it. But I am starting to rethink the E63 wagon as my first purchase pending Mega Millions win. :)

I honestly thought you'd buy an RS7. You:

*Gets in RS7*

Hmmm, It's the same thing.

*looks in rearview mirror and notices limited visibility*

It's the same thing....

*Rear passengers start complaining*

IT'S THE SAME THING....

- this keeps happening until you move to the UK

If you have six figures to drop on a car there are a line of people that will help you spend it. Also, paying a couple hundred bucks to ship it shouldn't be an issue either. You probably won't be getting the deal you are hoping for, but if you want one, you can buy it.

What about European Delivery, would that still be possible?

I head an S5 at idle the other day and it sounded phenomenal. I know that they're not the same engine but I can only image the RS7 sounds even better.

Saw one of those on the road while I was in the RS7, believe it or not. It was a good day haha.
