Test drove 700+ hp Allroad, it makes my stg3 Avant so slow...
Car was not dynoed, so 700 is very conservative figure, it is more like 800 at the crank probably. Forget about those light exotics or interior stripped stage3 sedans. Driving a 4000+lbs car and accelerating at 2.5 FATS - IS a life time experience.
It takes some time to get used to twin plate clutch (something I could not master) but once rolling and shifting upper gears you will almost forget it is there.
Power. It comes after 4100 rpm, but with 8200+ redline it is just a matter of adapting to a new shift points, gear selections. On a street it drives just like my Avant.
Exhaust sounds amazing, quiet on a street with nice deep tone at a full throttle.
Driving my 500 hp Avant after that felt very "civilised" to say the least.
All official press releases and details will be coming in the near future.

Re: cant wait for teh press releases...
Not sure if this car will ever be covered Magazine Style, but some info on similar projects will be available some time next month (or so, I was told). I think, we will see more coverage here once they laydown paint brushes.
