Official: Audi RS5

The R8 powerslides...

It's got a front/rear split which is unique to the R8.

That's the latest S4. Maybe the RS5 will be a tiny bit more tailhappy but I reckon that's about it.

When I want to Oversteer my A6 3.0l TDi, I simply do a scandinavian flick, works like this:

Turn ESP off, speed up to the corner which is lets say a tight right one, shortly before the corner I steer left AND THEN straight to the right, then the tail kicks out, I go off the accelerator untill I had to steer left, to straight the car up into the direction I want to go.
 
For some reason that video made me like this car less. It doesn't look that good in motion
 
^ I agree, but thats because that footage is pre-post raw advertisment footage. The advert feel is added later, but for now we get boring, badly sounding repetative standard clips.

It will look a lot better in real life. And this shows up what I hate about adverts - they're all too photoshopped in perfect worlds - all I want is a decently shot piece informing me what it is while making it look good. Topgear seem to manage to make 10 minute sections like this; so why can't the companies themselves?

:p Sorry. I was saying that Topgear can make 10 minute [edited in now] sections which look brilliant and not too post-processed. The companies can't seem to make adverts like this, instead making everything a bit too perfect, like the recent Ford Fiesta advert - I hate that advert - it's too showy with not enough anything in it, the background looks way too fake (even though it was a real location) and even the way the car moves seems a bit weird. I'm picky, yes, but I still hate adverts and how predictable they are.
 
Well, the whole thing was meant for TV shows to use as b-roll footage. The camera was too pedestrian, plus there's no soundtrack. Engine audio needs to be louder as well (for Christ's sake, put a mic in with the engine!).
 
[...] (for Christ's sake, put a mic in with the engine!).
That?s like mounting a camera on a pornactors willie ... it might get you the action more close up ... but if you want to make it look good, you take the cam a few steps back ...
