mine has been de-asc'd which is good because its too slow to kick in and gives more power.
my ABS is very very good especially with 286mm disks at the front and 280mm at the back

its awesome mate, could drive mine no problem in snow? is yours fly by wire as i thought it only came on these?


It is indeed mate


cool, annis are awesome, would recomend getting the esp fixed, helps a great deal in wet when pulling away quickly and with 200bhp a bet you need it

Drove a B7 RS4 last year at silverstone, was explained the science behind ABS, ESP etc and then got to test it out on the track, putting the car into different scenarios to really test the safety systems.

80mph swerve with ESP on, handled just fine, you could feel the wheels individually braking to keep the car in a straight line

Turn it off, same manouver = 360 degree spin + lots of tyre smoke! just showed how much the technology actually helps, if it had been on a busy motorway there would have been carnage without the ESP... but it was much more fun with it turned off!
