Little jet planes are pretty
My little soul quite chirpy
Short flight of fantasy and
a drive meant for intimacy
In the backdrop of the isle
Gunning a Sportback with a smile
Great country, great weather, exceptional stay and, of course, a marvel of a car. But something was missing… an exhaust that made its own music. When I read about the A7 Sportback last month, I was under the impression that at last Audi has taken on the CLS 63 AMG and other modern rivals like the Porsche Panamera and even the Aston Martin Rapide. One that sounded like one of those old Audi-powered Spyker Le Mans entries. C’mon, what is the point of a car this gorgeous if it can’t wake up neighbours in the wee hours of the morning? It competes with the traditional estates, SUVs and even four-door sedans — a cracker of an exhaust would have elevated the car to its mates from Stuttgart, but for the time being, the machine is considered for mass production and meets all European norms.
