It may snow so AWD was a must and I need to carry a few people on the float so… ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36199&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36199&stc=1) Porsche aficionados may recognize that this RS7 is actually Porsche Signal Green. It was a sample match color ordered from Audi which they no longer offer so it is the only one that will ever exist. From what I have been told it was a company car for the owner of ECS Tuning. Mods include… APR Tune H&R suspension module Millet exhaust (It sounds waaaaaaay better than stock, especially in Dynamic mode.) I believe it also has some interior custom LED lights as well. (I saw the car on the ECS website.) A few things I have read claim it is faster than a Vette, Viper, and a 575 Ferrari in the 1/4 mile with 100 octane fuel. About 10.6 seconds at 130+mph. One of the big advantages of the tune is the brake boosting, this thing launches like a mo fo. Oh, and 27mpg on zee highway. LMAO! Green is my favorite color, I am Irish, and I love Porsches so Signal Green seemed right for me. 😃 This video does not even come close to doing it justice but here are the 4 different exhaust sounds… ---

Thanks guys. I went to Mexico with 4 grown men in the car and this thing got to 155mph (up a good incline) in no time. It is deceivingly fast because it reaches full torque soooo low. 😃 ---

I didn’t say it was faster than any Corvette ever modified. 😉 From a GM website about the 2016… “Quarter-mile times of 10.95 seconds at 127 mph with the eight-speed and 11.2 seconds at 127 mph with the seven-speed transmission” - - - Updated - - - > [@2TurboZ](#): > > Awesome…very cool car. > > I will sell you my ML63 AMG when you are ready for an SUV again 🙂 Thanks Kyle. I still have an SUV, the Cayenne GTS. ---

You only bought the car because of that and fearing a nations collapse with the presidential candidates, you wanted to make sure you could sneak to Mexico if need be. Fast and in the dark lol ---
