I'm not the biggest fan of station wagons but I can change my mind if they bring in the arguments. Audi did. Actually MTM did. How? They got their hands on Audi's RS6 Avant and managed to improve the 580-hp twin-turbo V10 derived from Lamborghini Gallardo, into a small powerplant that goes up to 702 hp now. That's what I call improvement, wouldn't you?

How they did it? Pretty simple. An ECU tweak raised the power to 656hp and then a stainless steel exhaust and a new air filter made it big: 702 hp.

So what we got here? A hatchback that can fight with most of the supercars we've known by now. It goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and has some reserved carbon fiber aero bits, a new set of brakes, revised dampers and 21-inch wheels. That's something I'd be willing to te against a Gallardo myself. Would you?
