The sportier look is best accompanied by a power upgrade from ABT Sportsline. The 4.0-liter V8 that is powering the SQ7 already provides a respec...

We in the States have this [retracted] 25-year import rule so we can only look in envy at Europe and Japan at all the desirable models. Heck, even Canada has to wait for only 15 years. But good things come to those who wait (25 years) like this 1999 Audi S3. We obviously didn't get the 8L S3 and definitely didn't get the 8L S3 with this much power.

When the Audi S4 showed up in 1991, it was based on the C4 100. After 1994, the 100 name was dropped in favor of A6. The C4 S4 became the S6 and the S4 name disappeared for a couple of years. Way back when I didn't know much about Audi, I was so confused that I thought the Ur-S4 and the Ur-S6 were the same car...I was wrong and right. Anyway, enough of my rambling. This is a Ur-S4 Avant and here's the ad:

There’s no disputing the outright speed of the RS e-tron GT, but experiencing it on a race track far from speed cameras gives a new appreciation of just how quick it is
It’s practically impossible to read a report on even a common-or-garden electric vehicle without some reference to the impressive acceleration. Performance-oriented variants take that instantaneous acceleration to even greater levels, but, like...
