Car and Driver 2.7 definately not PSK

Look at the picture on page 54-55. The front of the Audi is sitting waaaaay too high for it to be a PSK. I have seen the PSK in person and it is THAT noticeable. (The difference) BAD10

Why don't we contact them and ask?!

Not hard to do. I'll try myself and report back.

I agree

I assume that PSK includes the sport suspension as well as sport seats and Y-rated tires. I'm basing my conclusion on the 0.78g pulled by the C&D A6 2.7T test car. I think somewhere in the article they reference a value of 0.75g for a previously tested A6 2.8, and credit the improvement to the wider 215 and sportier tires. My guess is that a 2.7T with a proper sport suspension should pull about 0.81-0.82g on the skidpad.
