Jeremy Clarkson thought that he might enjoy driving the newly updated Audi RS Q8. However, his real-world experience turned out to be quite different. Here’s a preview:

“I’ve got to be honest here. I was looking forward to my time with this madman because it flies in the face of everything Ed Miliband holds dear. In a world of kale and kindness, it’s an Apache gunship. So I was going to enjoy making tyre-squealy V8 noises all week and then I’d have lots to write about, and I could conclude by saying that, while it’s bloody good fun, it’s too daft to be a realistic day-to-day option and that you’d be better off with a less bonkers, and cheaper, Audi RS6 Avant. But there was a problem.”

(Clarkson’s car reviews get the usual disclaimers.)
