Only launched last week, and highly in demand - I got my hands on this fresh example with a few miles on the clock.
I have already given forecasted residual values on this product, but having a physical vehicle is always good to either reconfirm opinion or readjust should you see fit.
As expected, it drives beautifully with plenty of power (260ps). Exhaust note was deep. Not boomy or obtrusive - just right. Brakes took a little while to get used to as there not progressive, more of a punch in the face. Leathered dash binnacle was also a nice touch8)
Only gripe was that I thought the steering was a touch light - although i have had a heavy 300C for a week so no wonder ...
Could I justify the extra £7k over a 2.0T FSi Coupe S tronic? probably.
Pictures speak for themselves...

Wheels look like a badly thoughout afterthought and the interior just looks like a chunk of plastic?
Rest looks nice though, sorry, just not my cup of tea I guess

Lovely car but the wheels either look too small or the wrong design, interior looks spot on!

Wheels are ugly as heel, tried to follow a sort of r8 style and failed miserably. Other than that looks nice, and fits into the 's' range nicely with the grille, mirrors etc.

Looks lovely, S badge on the back looks a bit of an afterthought though. Looks like someone bought it off Ebay.
