Driver wish is delivered via an eight-speed automatic gearbox to Audi’s permanent, active four-wheel drive quattro system, which explains how it gets to 62mph in 4.1sec, before its lightning speed hit to 155mph or 174mph if the optional RS Dynamic Pack is added.

Other sweet options include 20-inch wheels over the standard 19s, a rear sports differential and ‘dynamic ride control’ adaptive dampers, with adjustable steering, throttle and gearbox settings as standard.
