To be honest i found the review kind of boring because it's a constant comparison, and there wasn't much say about the feel of the car.

I presume that 'normally aspirated' means twin-twin turbo charging in the states? Does this mean that they haven't driven the RS6???

The reason for the difference in redline is so that the car can be offered with an automatic transmission.

The review has a bit of a pop at the Europeans quite a bit, they maybe right, but in Britain this car will be a very rare sight, even though it doesn't deserve to be, it seems fantastic, I'm not keen on the styling but want one, hope the gearbox (although it probably is) isn't as awkward as a Corvette's.

And just look at the engine's compression ratio!! 50k warranty over 4 years? And powertain to 100k!! for fuck's sake!! Brilliant. Deserves to succeed, just waiting to read a proper review.
