At least the older model looked as though it could handle "All Roads" and not just the speed bumps at Tescos...

Having owned a launch model in 2000 and having driven this one for a couple of months I can confirm what they have done is massively improve it!

It still has the air suspension, but rather than being a test mule for what became the D3 A8 and some what shonky as a result it is well developed and on the "allroad raised" setting has more ground clearance then the original one, which if I remember correctly was boasted as the same as a landrover!

I doubt you'd go green laning or properly off road in either, but ideal for speed bumps and potholes

218, 245 or 272 PS versions of the 3.0 TDI, which equates to 160, 180 or 200 KW I think?

Shark Performance would be a good shout.. Not sure if they're still doing the 25% off at the minute too.
