Audi S 5 impressions

[Pedro]

Called in on a mate of mine yesterday and he'd done some changes to his multiple garage contents since I last saw him a couple of weeks ago.
A Taureg and Ferrari Superamerica were gone and an Audi Q7 and S 5 had taken their place. (He can buy anything he likes ... so his choice).

"Want to take the S 5 for a fang he said"? "Is the Pope Catholic" I replied.

Being only one week old I treated the S 5 gently by not hitting the red line (within the first 100 m). At 260 kw it didn't have the stonk of my departed F6 but how smoooooth. Surrounded by electronic gadgets of mind blowing proportions, it's like sitting in the cockpit of a 747. The starter is a button on the left side of the console and the "hand brake" is a button on the right side. The sat-nav informed me of my where abouts before I'd moved and kept doing so until we worked out how to shut it up. The 4.2 V8 is devoid of mechanical noises but the crisp crackle from the exhaust tells you that a "let's get haulin" V8 is under the bonnet. With all wheel drive and every other safety innovation known to man it was certainly an impressive drive and ticks all the boxes.
