Noted bon vivant Donald B, aka Agent 001, is on Audi’s luxury-slathered press launch in Las Vegas. He’s got a ton of shots of the Audi RS7 in the real world, plus all the great food and liquor the company served its captive journos before setting them free in $104,900 Audi RS7.
Not that we’re above taking a free drive in a six-figure German koo-pay-that-isn’t….

Don't feel bad Jack. I have no idea who that guy is nor do I care. Plus isn't the RS7 an RS8 with a cool faux fastback hatch anyway?
'I’d rather be rolling down a country road in my 560SL at entirely reasonable speeds.' 107 series SLs have always been sissy cars. Bobby Ewing drove one - need I say more? Too heavy, too slow - even with the 5.5L.
shame you didn't get to drive it. I'd honestly be interested to see you benchmark it against your old green S5 in terms of performance (mostly becuase I've actually driven an S4 hard and can appreciate it as a benchmark). Now that I think a little harder about it, I'd love to see an Audi version of the VW comparo that was done a few weeks ago. I'd love to see the winner of the VW cmoparo thrown into the mix for argument's sake, as well.
AutoSpies has to be the antithesis of TTAC. Their single-minded devotion into worshipping any new car out of Germany and putting down anything made in Japan makes Scientology look like slackers.
