I am a big Audi fan and have owned many over the last 20 years.
For those looking for the ultimate sleeper then you would be daft to dismiss the Audi RS6.
It’s massive heavy body is propelled by a monstrously powerful 450 bhp engine.
If you are not going to reduce the weight then just increase the power to silly figures seemed to be Audi’s mantra.
The S6 was, in it’s time, the flagship Audi. The interior was trimmed with carbon fibre, long before it became a popular aftermarket option.
It offered fantastic performance and still looked like an ordinary accountants car!
There were only a few engine options which varied from region to region. The 2.2 (ANN) Turbo was pretty rare with more of the 4.2 V8 (AEC) engines being sold. in 1999 the 2.2 Turbo was dropped and only the 4.2 V8 was offered.
The TT represents a bit of a departure from the norm for Audi and they created a great and fun sports car. Styling is somewhat unfairly criticised as being a bit like a beetle but the car clearly is a trend setter rather than a trend chaser.
Audi can now put their excellent range of engines and quattro drive train to good use in a chassis that has been designed with fun and handling in mind.
The S3 is a good car tuning project to play with. Audi have done many modifications to the S3 including a twin intercooler and 4 wheel drive (haldex) system to help put the power down. This gives an excellent base for a tuning project and we look at the best mods for this awesome car.
Drop the S3 optimally somewhere in the region of 20mm and fit stiffer adjustable shocks, bigger drops will need other modifications in most instances or your arches will rub on the tyres, especially if you have fitted larger rims.
