      @@egg0534 English is more important because the americans have a lot of geopolitical influence, but before the beginning of the pax americana age, french was as important as english and it was used a lot more (still is) than it in treaty signings, french was the de facto diplomatic language of the world. Not used as much nowadays but still relevant since french is spoken fluently by 270 million people worldwide and is recognized as an official language in 29 countries making it the 5th most spoken language in the world.

    • @SIMcityplayer2002
      @SIMcityplayer2002 10 років тому

      Okay, I will. The new RS6 hit 60mph in 3.5 seconds. When tested in Germany, the E63 was slightly quicker than the RS6. However, when things got quicker, the Mercedes started to lose the race. I did lose the race. This was in rainy conditions so the RS6 did have an advantage, but for speed, it's best at 0-62mph. The Audi beats it for braking (only with ceramics), to. Bit the E63 is a really, really nice car and I am kind of biased about Audi vs BMW/Mercedes!
      Both cars are great though!

Is an overtake and a half., i had some young twit overtake me on a bendy country road in a 1.2 corsa but it had a black vinyl bonnet, and a metal dust bin for an exhaust so that must make a few more hundred bhp,. He done me fst-2, a land rover discovery a van a artic truck all in one and nearly crashed into an on comming car ,,. And only because the truck driver saw what would unfold if he didnt break, did he get away with it,, but i suppose because he did he now thinks hes a driving god. Some people dont understand you need power to overtake safley.

    They have a new engine... It's a register-turbocharged 5l V10 Diesel!
    That ebgine makes
    about 540 hp (okay, a bit less than this one)
    1000Nm of torque already at 1500 RPM!!
    And this Diesel engine consumes way less than this one
    or any other engine above 500hp or above 600Nm.
    This new engine already drives the "Nanuk" prototype, shown on the IAA 2013.
    I hope this engine will be used also for other AUDI cars.
