looks like the old 2.7TT Avant. It's the same as the Euro-only RS4, save for smaller turbo's (K03 vs. K04's).

It's a B5 RS4 Avant. It's V6 twinturbo. Stock can run 0-60 in 4.5....I bet the one on that video is not stock. That blue color is available in RS4 Avant only.






Forget M3...even Ferrari is still having a hard time...

While I like driving fast, things like this make my blood boil. Sure, the drivers of the fast cars here can be very skilled, blah blah blah, but it's the uncertainty of the dozens/hundreds of other drivers on this road and their reactions that makes this beyond dangerous. Someone minding their own business going down the road will suddenly find one of these ******** come flying by, become startled and swerve to avoid the idiot and cause a crash. Worst still is one of the bigrigs doing this and taking out any number of innocent drivers. What is not shown in this video (or any like it) is a rear-view of the aftermath of their passing. It would not be surprising to find an accident or two in the wake of these people, and when the true causes of the accidents zoomed off scot-free, the unfortunate souls in the accident will have to fight amongst themselves over all that occurred.

It would not be a severe punishment for those involved in this to be arrested, charged and have to witness their cars being crushed before heading off to jail.

Take it to a freakin' track. Not a busy highway.

I'm willing to bet, though, that in the wake of these morons, were dozens of 911 equivelent phone calls going to the cops reporting them.

Where was this video taken at? It looks like somewhere in eastern europe for me or even Russia (See a few Fiat Polski's in there).

Oh and the road seems better quality than anything you get in the USA.

Perhaps, if we are lucky, these 2 characters and their ilk will earn Darwin Awards without killing anyone else.

That was an Rs4 Avant MTM ...602hp.......Very fast.

I'm glad I didn't see them get the Darwin award. It sure looked like that's what those idiots were trying for. Given enough time they'll get it. And the world will be a safer place without them.
