These cars are ALL way too fast already most people will never use them as the video shows in any regular way.

It doesn't really matter who is 1st or 4th.
These people just make videos to make $$

If you think Audi sit around racing their prototype against other cars you'd be mistaken lol.

In totally agree. Case and point: I just blindly got an X4M thinking it would be great to drive a 500hp little suv but the fact is the whole thing is designed for journalist testing/ car magazines. In real life it has no low end torque and struggles in day to day use. My F90 M5 was better at representing itself honestly but it seems its only a matter of time until the "performance" badges all become a "story" built for marketing hype and not anything to really enjoy on a day to day basis.

Even my 992 C4S feels like they pushed a bit too much to make numbers... but at least it has a fun dual clutch ZF (PDK) not that ZF 8HP stuff which is in seemingly everything with a 6TT or V8TT these days...
