Surprising turn of events

I while back I wrote about Audis whole RS range. And it was a bit of a rant to be honest. But I've had a change of heart of one particular RS powerhouse.

The change of heart happened when I saw the Audi RS7. In short. It was impressive. The massive but sleek body had been lowered and given some extra muscle and flare. The car also sits on big 20' rims that will not go unnoticed. All of this of course is typical RS stuff. Let me explain why this is different. The A7 is the more sporty version of the A8, as the CLS is a more sporty version of the S-class. So it is obvious that the A7 would get the RS treatment. The fact that the RSQ5 could exist is just because the Audi engineers may some day have some spare time. The RS badge is meant to go on sporty cars to make them a bit more naughty.
To the specs. The RS7 has a twinturbo 4.0 litre V8 developing a neck strengthening 560 hp. And obviously it has the Quattro four-wheel drive system.

Look how the tables have turned. At first I thought that the A7 was only made to compete with the CLS. But what Audi has accidentally done is to make the sad faced A7 into an aggressive businessman's road attacker. And made the Audi S8 completely unnecessary.

I like the big quattro sign. 
Somehow Audi have managed to turn the tragic rear end into an aggressive one.

All of them RS Audi's


I'm just getting this out there.
Audi has gone completely insane with the RS-line that they've got going on. Almost every car Audi makes has an RS model. When Audi decided to make the RS2 in the 90's it was the ultimate Audi to buy. But now Audi makes the RS1, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6 and the TT RS. That's many powerful and expensive Audi's for rich people to buy. And now in just a short span of time Audi has threaten to make two more RS loonies. They are the RS7 and the RS Q3.
The RS1 was not really a shocker because a year or so earlier Audi made the RS3 but the two new ones are just... no. Why do we people need an RS Q3, why? I reckon it will cost so much that if someone is thinking of buying one why not buy the RS3 instead which i reckon will be superior to the mad Q3. And what about the RS7. Apparently it wasn't enough to have the S7 or the S8. I get it that the RS7 will be competing with the CLS 63 Merc but still, it's not necessary.
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Audi fan but this just is too much. So, if you want a special Audi, forget the RS badge and go for an ABT badge instead.
