I think I'm already sufficiently turned off with the performance data alone (but perhaps the Performance model will restore parity) but now it seems the tranny isn't up to snuff either?
Between this test and Auto Bild, the disparities in times thru the ranges are rather large. More than should be expected for a 600hp car vs the CE or the GT63S. The track times are even worse:

0-200 km is 11.9 for the RS7 vs 10.3 for the BMW and 10.4 for the AMG. You can see the other measurements show disparities too.

Big disparities with Sport Auto as well (posted above)

0-200 is 12.4 for the RSy vs 10.5 for the BMW and 10.7 for the AMG.

Thats a big gap and gaps in other measures too. And I did say it sucks comparatively as it still is faster than so many cars out there. But these are its direct competitors along with the E63S.
