undoubtedly fast! But i can't shake the ugly sound of quattro tires squealing all over the place. That's another reason i dislike AWD on fast cars or presumably sports cars.

Exhaust sound is too low on tone, don't like that at all. Man the E46 M3 CSL rules all cars in terms of engine/exhaust sound (except CGT )

I disagree, but not on the Audi RS5. Its exhaust sound is OK. i don't really like the M3 CSL. Too raspy. My all time favorite exhaust sound is an M6 with Kellener's, Evosport, or equivalent exhaust upgrade. Hear an
.

Although you can't beat a good sounding V8. Listen to us here:
. My 550i with a Remus upgrade is leading 645i's, E46 M3s, & E92 M3s. Followed by a 645i with Dinan, and a stock 645i.

Wow that sounds great!

Sounds like Audi is using a high revving engine. Listen at the 0:35 mark in the video. It is driving towards the camera.

Very cool! Looks amazing too.

What are you talking about? It is called street tires on a race circuit. That is the sound you get when at the limit of street tires. There are plenty of spy videos of BMW's and other RWD cars testing on the ring, making the same squealing around corners.
