"So what’s gone wrong? Well, the Audi engine factory is designed to produce engines with a 90-degree Vee, but the Lambo’s engine has an 88-degree Vee. Ergo, if they were going to make the engine in an Audi factory, it had to be changed. That means the S6 has only 429bhp and that, in turn, means that every time you put your foot down, you feel a) cheated and b) like the car you’ve bought was designed by accountants."
"You also feel like you’re not really in control because it has quite the sharpest throttle response of any car I know. It will only set off at full pelt, which is a nuisance when you’re having to contend with a gearbox that works like it’s on cannabis, and steering which — I feel sure — is made from old driftwood."

"And then we get to by far and away the worst thing: the ride. They call it “S line”, and it doesn’t take too long to work out what the S might stand for. Clue: four letters, begins with S, ends in hit. Which is odd because it really isn’t one." LOL!!![}]
"I would love to meet the team who designed it, because I do not believe that anyone who has ever driven “a car” before could possibly have fitted this and thought it might do. Their bosses should certainly dig out their CVs and do some deep background investigation, because they’re either imposters or they’re secretly working for BMW."
