Serious beast that, but too extreme for me.

I also think that uses the same auto box as the D2 A8 & S8, which have a near 100% failure rate so potentially a very big bill.

This is a better Audi to have.

Yeah...... I do like those.  Always been "just out of reach", except now they are "well out of reach".  That's strong money for a 10v and there is significant risk of serious rot hiding under that body kit.  Not galvanised at that age. 

There's a specialist just up the road who has (literally) a barn full of them. He's tidying them up and drip feeding them to the market.  They are very very nice but he always wants ALL the money.  I did come quite close to buying a C4 S6 Avant from him a few years back, but he wanted ALL the money (and then some) for that too and in the end I spent some of the money getting the GT6 professionally painted instead.

In fact, I'd be quite happy with a B2 or B3 90 quattro in nice condition.  Not especially fast, but quick enough and very nice to drive.  More or less extinct though
