It was one of those perfect moments, on the backroads of Quebec. The driver tapped a paddle on the rear of the S6’s steering wheel, selecting a gear two lower than the one he was in. The engine management blipped the throttle open to rev-match the downshift, all ten cylinders making their presence known. He transitioned smoothly into the corner, the big Audi digging in as it traced the contour of the road in a perfect arc, the tactile impulses transmitted through the steering wheel letting him know exactly the surface of the pavement underneath. At the proper moment, his hands pointed the nose of the car through the exit of the curve as he stomped the accelerator down. The sound told the tale, the V10 booming and growling its way towards redline, as the S6 finished its follow-through path and squirted off into the distance.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t the one doing the driving.
