I love my X3MC, but that Audi is a serious autobahn cruiser..

Yeah, that was killing me. Mine was already squirrely with winters at 200,and I couldn't imagine distracting myself with a watch at that speed.

Apart from the fact the RS6 clearly has the legs, pretty fast and stable ride at that speed in X3M. But agree, not really proving anything.

Yes, you do in the US. My guess is the German versions come fully unlocked, albeit even a raised limited us spec couldn't exceed 270 kmph; these guys hit 300.

I'm getting old, that seems way too fast. I was on the autobahn last year and didn't go much above 160km, although I was driving a Volvo V90 rental car with all season tires. That's when you need the big summer tyres.
What a great road trip from Munich to Northern Italy, simply beautiful.

Can't wait to go back. Spent some time up at the Alpina Dolomities Lodge.
Highly recommended if you are out that way.
