Audi has fun at speed camera's expense
Audi's advertising agency, Ogilvy, decided to have a little fun with a speed camera in South Africa by placing in front of it an ad for the Audi RS6 with the line, "say cheese!"
One might find need for such a warning/laugh in an RS6, which at the time of this pic boasted 450 hp from a twin-turbo version of the 4.2L V8 in the A6. That makes for one very photogenic sedan.

what? the S8 has a v10. the RS4 has the naturally aspirated 420hp version of the 4.2L V8 found in the S4.

#5, The last-gen S8 had a 360-hp version of the 4.2L v8. The RS6's twin-turbo v8 was based on that one.

WOW! Look what's running around down there - an apparently pristine '71 Riv!

They do have speed cameras in the US. While I don't know their reach in our country, I do know I got one around DC.
