Very nice. One of the last properly-scary-to-drive production cars left these days. 

Not scary at all.... very refined - if hugely potent..... and like anything with power - a poorly educated right foot will get you in a lot of trouble very quickly - especially if the electronics are turned off - as they should be.

 

But it's a kitten compared to a 996 GT2.... thats a proper widowmaker...

With the electronics partially off, it gets pretty hairy pretty quickly. Especially compared to other offerings from Mclaren, etc which are much more subdued. I've experienced some pretty high power cars, but the latest GT2 punches well above it's numbers

 

Older GT2's were proper. Best drive of my life was in a 993 GT2 clubsport.

The Audi RS5 is one of those cars that catches you by surprise. From afar, it’s unmistakably Audi, while the combination of curved roofline, sleek sheet metal and wide tracks is unequivocally A5 Coupé.

But step closer, and some of the visuals no longer tally with the A5’s briskly elegant demeanour. This coupé looks hungrier, meaner – more aggressive. Compared to the standard, goody-two-shoes A5, it’s spoiling for a fight.

It is plain wrong to have a German car in this colour. Only Lotus, Aston Martin and Bentley can get away with it.
