    By God Audi knows how to do interiors. It looks like a spaceship in there. I'd have the RS6 Avant though.

    We all know the S6 was your favorite Bob :). In fact, I really do believe there is an even more special sound that comes from a C7 S6/S7.

    How's it going Bob? Great review of a great car. I enjoy my RS3. With 414 hp. I would consider an RS7 however I like a smaller car. Keep up the great work. Cheers from a Canadian fan.

    There is nothing quite like the sound of a V8 rumble in the jungle, especially when you floor it. Would love to try that car from Killakee over the featherbeds, Glencree, Sally gap and back over to Blessington. I'm sure it could corner well on that road

    When the AC is set to auto, you will hear it until the cabin has reached the temp set point. Just because you don't know how to use something properly, doesn't mean there is something wrong with it.

    Amazing car, the cost of new vehicles like this in Ireland though is just scandalous. Hence why seeing a v8 performance car in Ireland, or any new performance car is rarer than hens teeth.

    Bob Hi, saw an RS7 (202D ....) this afternoon near Malahide - may have been this one. Have a 3.0tdi Audi A6 myself. Thoughts on seeing it beside me was ‘why would somebody buy such a monster for Irish roads’ - makes no sense.

    • @stuartmchugh1754
      @stuartmchugh1754 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh but it makes all the sense. The best cars create a mystical bond between man and machine. You can feel the love between Bob and the RS7. No-one can ever really love a rep box.

    • @stephendoherty8291
      @stephendoherty8291 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You drive a 3 litre car and wonder about the monster V8. The audi engine is ;legendary, built for performance, motorsport tested and sounds amazing and drives like the 👿 devil. Can you say anything about your 3.0tdi? (sounds like a tractor, not as efficient as the 2.0tdi, aimed at autobahn driving not Irish roads and like most TDIs - as forgettable as every other tdi)

  • @daraghmorrissey
    @daraghmorrissey 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's no doubt that the RS7 is a beautiful looking car. I wish Audi would fix the horrible throttle response lag in the current A7 50 TDI which makes overtaking a cyclist on a backroad a slow painful experience.

    Hey Bob which has the better acceleration the Mustang Bullit or the RS7?

    • @BobFlavinVideo

      RS7 puts the power down much quicker. Mustang is a bit cooler but for different reasons.

  • @stephendoherty8291
    @stephendoherty8291 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    We are looking at the last V8s - I'd say the nxt RS will be EV assisted twin turbo V6. The bigger the carbon produced by your one halo car the more you need to spend on other ordinary cars to make up your fleet carbon production.
    As for performance and economy- the answer is electric (without the engine noise sadly)

    Far from the best looking new car on Irish roads today. Audi had some really classy and clean designs in its previous generation, but their current cars are a mess of plastic, vents, gaps, fat hits, bloated haunches. Better looking new car? 992 Porsche, 8 series GC, 3 series touring, Volvo S90, E class AMG line, Peugeot 508, Lexus LS and more...

    Sure it doesn't feel the same, the RS7 is slow in comparison.

    Gotta say I'm going to be controversial and say I think it's ugly plus plastic like that on the front of a car costing soooo much is a bit crap really. The other problem I have with Audi is they're too expensive regardless of which one you pick in the range and in terms of their design they're very boring, I mean if you took the badge off you'd still know it was an Audi, they need to design an Audi that doesn't look like an Audi for a change tho' in fairness it's unlikely I'll ever buy one.

No one wants to pay £26-£30000 for a bog standard golf or audi when they can spend £15-£20000 on a older higher end better looking model...

      @@A_Manc_in_Yorkshire I would say the Passat CC is not much different on the outside to the Arteon (the CC was some attempt at offering a less boring looking car and Mercs coupe like 4-dr saloons). Are you saying the current Mazda6 saloon is not a wonderful example of saloon design and comparing it to the "ordinary" saloon design choices, it not one of the best if not the best design examples. Notwithstanding Mazda's excellent engine innovations from the 2nd generation Skyactiv range and Mazda's attempts to at least try and make it an involving driving experience (like the Mondeo but with some flair). What innovation can you ascribe to the arteon (performance, excellent chassis control?, daring design? Interior flair over any high end passat?). Underneath the arteon is a Passat.(I don't own either car). Inside the CC was just the same passat interior. Inside the Arteon is just an upmarket Passat. The mazda interior is no award-winner either but most mainstream saloon interiors are pretty dull even with the off electronic screens that are standard now.

    You like video ideas, how about doing one where to go back a billion years and look at the trees that will become the fuel in your car. then add up all the time the planet has had to crush those trees into oil. Then perhaps a quick visit to the oil contaminated land in Nigeria where the oil is extracted. If you like noisy inefficient car internal combustion engines why not get a good HIFI system in the house and when the wife is away at the shops you could play a soundtrack of a V8. Cheaper and less trees being wasted as stored energy. You might want to also reflect that your descendants may want that oil for something more useful than an Audi V8.

The amount of 4.2 litre Audis on that road was amazing to see so many. So they have a place but the emerald isle, it's too sleepy with more civilized motorway speeds. i'm pleased you like it though.
