Successful Sea2Sky challenge

Iconic

tug

‘banished’

to cruise

ship berth

• By Kristie Boland

REDCLIFFS BUILDER Brad

Richards (above) was not just

a sideline supporter in the

gruelling Sea2Sky Challenge on

Sunday.

Richards, who is the naming

rights sponsor, finished the

17km run challenge in 16th

place out of 48 contestants.

The climb up the Scarborough

Hill steps in the final leg

of the challenge on Sunday was

frequently referred to as “killer”

as athletes crossed the finish

line.

There were 235 finishers,

with more than 15 per cent

of entries lost due to Covid-19

in the days leading up to the

event.

With strict Covid protocols

in place, athletes from around

Canterbury were greeted by

calmer seas than earlier in the

week for the 750m swim off

Scarborough Beach.

The athletes then rode to the

top of the Summit Rd, past Mt

Pleasant, before turning back to

finish at Godley Head.

The final leg of the triathlon

was a trail run to Taylors

Mistake followed by the climb

over Scarborough Hill.

As well as the full triathlon,

there was a 17km run, junior

triathlon, try a triathlon, and a

kids challenge.

Olympian and Commonwealth

Games medallist Andrea Hansen

(nee Hewitt) won the women’s

race and Commonwealth Games

hopeful Saxon Morgan won

the men’s.

TUG LYTTELTON supporters

want the vessel moved to its

original berth, amid a claim it has

been “banished” to the “naughty

corner.”

Naval architect Harry Stronach

wants the vessel relocated to

the berth beside the Diamond

Harbour ferry. The vessel is

currently berthed at the cruise

ship terminal in Lyttelton.

“It has been sent to the naughty

corner for some reason, but we’re

not clear on the reasons,” said

Stronach.

The location change was made

around six months ago.

Stronach, whose company does

the surveys and approvals for the

tug, spoke to the Banks Peninsula

Community Board at its meeting

on Monday.

He highlighted issues the tug is

facing, including berthage, public

accessibility, and the future of the

vessel.

Stronach said it was “banished”

there by the Lyttelton Port

Company.

Former Godley House site

open for tender until June


BRINGING together multiple

parties to collectively develop a

hospitality site for Godley House

is what Scott Winter is hoping to

achieve.

Last week, the city council

issued tender documents, giving

interested business people until

June 7 to lodge proposals for the

site.

Winter, a

Banks Peninsula

Community

Board member,

is meeting with

several different

parties this week

Scott

Winter

on the historic

site.

“I asked for

anyone that wishes to get behind

a local proposal to get in touch

and the response has been promising,”

said Winter.

He said there has been interest

in the development both locally

and from further afield.

“[There has been] many

offers for services from local

professionals; however, there

has not been one single entity

that has communicated to me

that they have the motivation,

funding and resource to put

together a tender,” Winter said.

In 2019, the city council held

a public consultation with

community members, including

Diamond Harbour School,

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz

NEW LIFE: Proposals for use of the former Godley House

site are open for tender until June 7.

residents and local businesses,

asking what they would like to

see on the site.

Feedback was diverse but

an overarching theme was

the desire to have somewhere

to socialise, with 132 people

specifically requesting a licenced

hospitality venue.

Recent posts on the Diamond

Harbour community Facebook

page show residents are clearly

frustrated with how long the

process is taking.

Winter said he felt similar

frustrations, but thought

progress was now being made.

Godley House was built as

a home in the 1880s. In later

years it was as used as a hotel,

restaurant and conference centre.

It is a landmark site in

Diamond Harbour, and an area

with considerable historical

and cultural value in the

development of Banks Peninsula.

The building was damaged

in the earthquakes and later

demolished.

“When Godley House was

damaged in the earthquakes,

it wasn’t just this community

and local businesses that lost a

special place but the whole of

New Zealand.

“Generations to come deserve

to have a place to enjoy and

Christchurch City deserves

another unique destination,”

Winter said.

In Brief

FRIDAY’S FIRE CAUSED BY

RUBBISH BURN

A chopper was called in to help get

a fire under control in Duvauchelle

on Friday. The Akaroa Volunteer

Fire Brigade was called to a fire

just after 7pm near Pawsons Valley

Rd. The fire was caused by ashes

blown downhill from a rubbish

burn. Akaroa chief fire officer

Mark Thomsen said the direction

of the wind was in their favour. The

chopper dropped three monsoon

buckets while firefighters worked

on the ground. The fire was under

control by dark.

KERBSIDE SERVICES TO

BE EXTENDED

The city council is proposing to

extend the kerbside collection

service to some additional

properties in the Wairewa area of

Banks Peninsula that currently

only receive a part service. There

are plans to offer a full kerbside

service to all properties accessible

to collection vehicle, between

Cooptown and Gebbies Valley.

Sense of loyalty keeps fire chief turning

Bay Harbour News

continues its series on

our fire chiefs. Reporter

Kristie Boland talks

to Governors Bay

Volunteer Fire Brigade

chief Andrew Norris

READY TO GO: Andrew Norris with his son Alex and daughter Anita. A family affair at the

Governors Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade.

A COMMON theme among

harbour fire chiefs has been that

fighting fires runs in the family,

Andrew Norris’s family is no

exception.

Norris, his daughter Anita and

his son Alex have all served for

the Governors Bay Volunteer

Fire Brigade and all three work

for the emergency services in

their day-to-day jobs.

Norris, 57, begun his firefighting

career around the same time

as Lyttelton’s chief Mark Buckley.

The pair did Sea Venturers

together in their youth.

Like Buckley, Scouts and Venturers

were a big part of Norris’

life growing up in Lyttelton.

Norris is the middle child of

seven siblings. They lost their

mother at a young age and their

father brought them up on his

own.

“Most of our youth was spent

around Sea Scouts. For the old

man it was good because it kept

us kids entertained,” Norris said.

Sea Venturers meant Norris

and his siblings could go camping,

sailing, rowing and do all

the outdoor activities he could

have hoped for growing up.

“I had a really good childhood

and youth with Scouts, I really

enjoyed it, thrived on it,” he said.

A third generation Norris, he

has lived his whole life in the

harbour basin. His father and his

uncles all worked on the wharf.

When Norris finished high

school, he worked for the Canterbury

Savings Bank for a year

then he worked for six years at

J.Voyce as a ship’s providore.

Norris was 20 when he joined

the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire

Brigade with Buckley.

“As a 20-year-old I think it was

the excitement of it all, the thrill,

the big toys, kicking around

with the big boys, that’s what

appealed me at the time,” Norris

said.

Norris doesn’t stray too far

from the emergency services in

his day to day life. He works in

the communications centre at

New Zealand Fire Service in the

city.

He moved from Lyttelton to

Governors Bay with his wife Rita

in 1996 and joined the Governors

Bay brigade.

Norris and Rita have two adult

children Anita, 29, and Alex, 27.

Anita has been a firefighter

for the brigade for 10 years.

She also works full-time with

the Christchurch Airport Fire

Service.

Alex spent four years in the

brigade with his father and sister.

His full-time job is alongside his

father at the Christchurch Justice

and Emergency Services Precinct

as a dispatcher.

Norris said he is very proud to

have had both of his children in

the fire service with him.

“They’ve done extremely well,”

he said.

Norris has been a part of the

Governors Bay brigade for 25

years and has been the chief

since 2009.

It’s a sense of loyalty that has

always kept him there.

“And the thought that you

can actually do something

good. It’s just because I enjoy it,

so that’s why I do it,” Norris

said.

He stresses that his is only one

of many roles that are important

in the brigade.

out for brigade

“I don’t think we give enough

credit to the background

guys. We (chiefs) might be the

recognised ones leading the

brigade but without all those

other people in the background

we wouldn’t have a fire brigade,”

Norris said.

Like the other harbour fire

chiefs, the Port Hills fires and

the earthquakes have stood out

in Norris’ career as something he

will never forget.

One of the first crashes he was

called to as a young volunteer

was a fatal in the Lyttelton

Tunnel.

The crash involved his boss

at the time J Voyce who was

killed.

“That was the first serious

crash I’d been to. That stands

out,” he said.

While Norris has seen a lot of

tragedy in his firefighting career

he doesn’t let things effect him

too much.

“I’m very lucky, I don’t get too

stressed by things,” he said.

The brigade tend to spend a

lot of time socialising together

outside of their work.

The small community has 25

volunteers in the brigade.

“The community has to

provide the firemen, and that’s

what this community has

done in spades, we’ve done really

well. We have 25 people in this

small space and it’s a credit to

them.’’

Norris said the “invisible

people” in the brigade and in any

volunteer roles don’t get enough

credit.

“Sometimes people might

forget when the fire bell wakes

them at one in the morning,

there’s 20 or so people getting

out of bed and going to help

somebody,” Norris said.

•Next week we talk to Little

River’s John Genefass

(Left to right) – Andrew Norris, Tony Lightburn, Mark Buckley and Ross Clements in the

early 1980s during their Sea Venturers days.

Children’s centre to

benefit from fundraiser

AN ONLINE arts sale will

mean at least $75,000 for the

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre.

Sculpture on the Peninsula had

to cancel its show a week before

it was scheduled to be held when

New Zealand went into red light

settings in late January.

Organiser Gill Hay said within

a week, more than 2000 photos

had been taken and the items

catalogued and loaded to online

art sales website NZArtbroker.

“Everything had been going

beautifully and we were so

organised, and then we got the

news. It was all hands to the

pump to make sure we could

honour the sculptors that had

done so much already, and to

continue to support the children

of Cholmondeley,” she said.

Thanks to overwhelming public

support, the online event generated

the highest level of sales

in the event’s 22-year history. But

overall takings were still significantly

down due to a number of

fixed costs and the loss of gate

and food and beverage sales.

“Still, we were astounded by

the generosity of the hundreds of

opening night ticket-holders, sponsors

and suppliers who donated

their tickets or fees,” Hay said.

The $75,000 donation is likely

to be increased later this year

once the trust that organises the

event is wound up. The January

event was to be the last for Sculpture

on the Peninsula.

“While we’re disappointed

we weren’t able to finish with a

final event, we’re proud to have

sustained the legacy of Sculpture

on the Peninsula for so many

years, and we are so grateful to

the sculptors, volunteers and

sponsors who have enabled us

to support Cholmondeley for so

long,” Hay said.

Sculpture on the Peninsula has

raised more than $825,000 for

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre

since the event began in January

2000.

Community board’s assistance sought

• From page 1

“It’s very hard to operate

and maintain the vessel over

there,” Stronach said.

LPC bulk cargo and marine

services general manager Paul

Monk said the reason for the

move of the Tug Lyttelton to

its current location in the inner

harbour is that the company

have needed to berth larger

vessels on jetty 2, the previous

location of the tug.

Stronach

said the current

location

removed the

important

connection

between the

Harry

Stronach

vessel and the

township by

not having it

publicly accessible.

While discussions with the

port company about this are

being had, Stronach said they

may need the board’s assistance

on it.

He wants to see the vessel

moved back to the town berth

beside the Diamond Harbour

ferry.

Said Monk: “We worked

with the preservation society

last year to facilitate this move

after their dry-docking, and

LPC provided new gangways

to make the move possible. We

also provide transportation


to and from the tug for the

preservation society’s work

gangs, and the tug is brought

back to the jetty 2 location by

the Diamond Harbour ferry to

pick-up and drop-off passengers

when it is making trips.”

Stronach said they would

like to find a permanent berth

in the inner harbour the public

can access and where it can

be properly maintained.

Monk did not say if LPC

would consider moving the

vessel back to the original

location.

Community board member

Scott Winter asked what the

reason is for wanting the

vessel in a publicly accessible

place.

Stronach said the society

has a maintenance day every

Thursday. The public being

able to go down to the wharf

to see the vessel makes it part

of the township.

He said the LPC has been

“very supportive” over the

years and they do not charge

for berthage.

“But it’s just having the

tug over at said berth has

proved to be impractical and

increased the costs and made

it all the more difficult,” said

Stronach.

Community board

chairwoman Tori Peden said

Stronach and the preservation

society has the support of the

board. It would be sending a

letter of support.

The society is still

considering options to move

away from using coal to an

environmentally friendly

fuel.

International recognition for snack bar


WHEN DAVID Dunn

received an email last week

that his snack bars had been

named as “one of the best” by

leading American outdoor

magazine Backpacker, he

danced around the room.

The Crafty Weka Bar,

made in Ferrymead, has been

recognised globally as one of

the best backpacking foods of

2022.

Dunn and his wife Clare, of

Sumner, are “ecstatic” about

the recognition.

“It was a little bit numbing

for me, we got ahead of any

other snack bar in the whole

American market just through

that magazine. They could

have picked anything,” Dunn

said.

“I danced around the office,”

he said.

The couple owned a bakery,

The Kookery Nook. For 30

years, they honed their craft

and developed a passion for

food development.

As a respite from bakery

life, Dunn spent time on his

bicycle where his mates were

constantly asking him to craft

a bar that would give them

sustained energy.

So he did.

The bars are hand-crafted

and sustainably packaged,

ideal for sports, lunches and

snacks-on-the-go.

“The very nature of a

startup is that you have to

push incredibly hard to be

successful to get in front of

and

bars.

your competitors,” Dunn

said.

That has proved true for

Dunn as the business expands

offshore as their bars are in

demand.

The bars are exported to the

United States and Australia.

“You’ve got to have the

people that you’re feeding

it to tell you you’ve got a

great product, when you’ve

got that, that’s when you know

you’ve got something,” Dunn

said.

And Backpacker magazine

has done just that.

“Every win no matter how

big or small is a win for me,”

Dunn said.

Godwits soon

to return

to Alaska

EASTERN bar-tailed godwits

are preparing to take flight, leave

the estuary, and return home to

Alaska.

After spending the summer

here, the little birds are currently

feeding themselves up to gain

enough weight to make the

14,000km journey back to Alaska.

Adult male birds are

changing their feathers to

display a ‘breeding plumage’ in

readiness to impress the females

for another breeding season in

Alaska.

When the sun, the moon, the

tides and the wind direction are

‘lined up’ the birds will take off.

Nobody knows when exactly that

will be but records show it will be

any day during the first few weeks

in March.

Last week, more than 1000

godwits were spotted on the

estuary said Avon-Heathcote

Estuary Ihutai Trust manager,

Tanya Jenkins. She said there was

“distinct restlessness” among the

birds showing signs that they are

ready to go any day.

At a steady 70km/h they fly to

the Yellow Sea coast in China and

Korea to refuel before continuing

to Alaska where spring will

provide food supply and nesting

space.

AKAROA IS one step closer to

having a new nature play area in

the Garden of Tāne.

Consultation on the concept

plan opened last week and will

run through until March 28.

The concept plan for the play

area includes balancing logs,

bamboo musical chimes, a woven

timber walkway and a ‘folly’

hut made of local macrocarpa

and kanuka.

A public domain

since 1874,

the Garden of

Tāne features an

extensive collection

of mature

specimen trees

planted in its

early years and

is home to an

expanding number of native

species.

Under the proposal, an existing

play area near the main

entrance to the reserve would

be extended to include the new

additions and surface mulch

added to allow for the balancing

and climbing activities.

Drawings and carvings of

insects with their te reo Māori

names will be included along

with illustrations and kowhaiwhai

patterns on the hut.

The plan has been developed

Treasures from the past:

Lyttelton Marine Band

ON THE night of

February 19, 1902, the

Lyttelton Marine Band,

friends, and supporters

gathered in the Naval

Artillery Orderly Room for

a ‘Smoke Concert’.

A strictly mens-only

concern, much tobacco

and aperitifs were

consumed with the

musical accompaniment

and toasts to the King,

the Governor and his

Parliament, and the brave

Volunteers of the Lyttelton

Naval Corps.

Founding bandmaster

Mr George E Collins was

also well toasted before

presenting the Drum-

Major Mr W Toomey

with the gold medal the

band won at the recent

Christchurch marching

competition.

Mr Collins was then

himself presented with a

‘silver-mounted travelling

bag’ by the assembled band

members in appreciation of

his good works in getting

the band up to a national

standard of practice.

George Collins would

go on to lead the Lyttelton

Marine in taking a very

respectable fourth place

in the 1903 New Zealand

National Championships

(A Grade) that were held

that year in Timaru.

In the years before

World War 1, the Lyttelton

Marine Band would continue

to delight audiences

in and around Canterbury

under the steady hands

of conductors Mr J Cummins

and then Mr W S

King. The 1910 era band

uniforms, instruments in

admirers and a chap in a

bowler hat.

That year the band took

fourth place in the New

Zealand National Championships

(A Grade) playing

Wagner at His Majesty’s

Theatre in Dunedin.

Two years later, the

Lyttelton Marine easily

overcame rivals Oamaru

Regimental to take out

first prize in the 1912

New Zealand National

Championships (B Grade)

performing Rossini in

front of a local audience at

the Christchurch Showgrounds.

Then in October of

that same year they took

third prize in the A Grade

Championships at the

Caledonian Grounds in

Dunedin with Puccini’s

Madame Butterfly.

World War 1 the Lyttelton

Marine Band reformed

and including band members

Messrs Demicelli and

Claude Plimmer. The band

would continue on playing

for some decades to come,

being a fixture at town

events such as the 1932

Lyttelton Harbour Festival

of Lights, before reforming

yet again after World War

2 in 1946 with its long

serving bandmaster Mr F J

Oakley at the helm.

The Lyttelton Marine

Band marched on valiantly

through the 50s until their

last known performance

in the National Championships

on March 7,

1960. In front of a home

by Oakley, the Lyttelton

Championships, and well

behind the first placed Upper

Hutt Municipal Band.

Following this denouement,

the Lyttelton Marine

continued playing on the

regional stage and included

a junior band with Graham

Rich conducting, with

the juniors continuing

after the senior band went

into recess in 1968.

Bob Hopkins conducted

the junior band from 1971

to 1973 at which point it

also went into recess.

Finally, Stan Carson

reformed the Lyttelton

Marine Band and

remained conductor

through to 1980 when the

band’s assets were vested

with the Lyttelton Borough

Council.

After the council mergers

and a number of years,

the band’s music library

and musical instruments

were purchased by the

New Brighton Silver Band.

The glory days of the

Lyttelton Marine Band

and its Smoke Concerts

are now long gone, as is

the band itself, but its

spirit lives on in the still

very musical port town it

proudly represented for so

many decades.

Mothers And Daughters

by Erica James

Even happy families have their secrets…

ENTER TO

WIN

A sweeping family drama of old secrets and new beginnings

from the Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James… Since

the sudden death of her husband, Naomi has steadily rebuilt the

life they shared in the village of Tilsham by the sea.

Her eldest daughter, Martha, is sensible and determined – just like

her father was – and very much in control of where her life is going. If she

could just get pregnant with her husband, life would be perfect.

Willow, the youngest, was always more sunny and easy-going, yet drifted through life,

much to her father’s frustration. But now, with charming new boyfriend, Rick, she has a

very good reason to settle down.

The three women are as close as can be. But there are things Naomi has kept from her

daughters. Like the arrival of Ellis, a long-lost friend from way back, now bringing the

fun and spark back into her life. And she’s certainly never told them that her marriage to

their father wasn’t quite what it seemed…

The Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James returns with this gloriously compelling

tale of mothers and daughters, secrets and love.

THIS BOOK

The Tricky Art of Forgiveness

by Meredith Jaffe

After thirty years of marriage, can there be any secrets left? The charming new novel

from the author of The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison

Diana Forsyth is in the midst of planning the Big Party, a combined celebration of her

husband Will’s 60th and their 30th wedding anniversary. The whole family is flying in

and unbeknownst to Will, Diana is planning a Big Surprise.

But then she finds a torn scrap of paper hidden inside the folds of one of his cashmere

sweaters, with the words, I forgive you. And all of a sudden, Diana realises she’s not the

only one keeping Big Secrets.

As empty nesters who have just downsized from the family home, she and Will are

supposed to be embracing a new promise of glorious freedom - not revisiting a past

that Diana has worked very hard to leave behind.

A witty, poignant and insightful exploration of marriage: the choices we make - or don’t

make, the resentments we hold, the lies we tell and what forgiveness really means.

Electric Audi the silent slayer

SOME OF MY most memorable

driving experiences have been in

Audi’s performance cars.

If you add together the fabulous

five-cylinder turbo Quattro

coupe, the RS’ with those freerevving

V8s, and S8 and R8/V10

then you’d have to say I’ve been

very lucky to have been behind

the wheel of those high power

petrol engines.

Well, today’s performance

car from the Audi stable is no

longer confined to petrol engines.

Audi has joined the electric

revolution and it’s fair to say the

RS e-tron GT in every sense of

the word is a true performance

car, and it needs to be wearing

the RennSport badge, which

loosely translated means racing

sport.

However, the e-tron GT has

style and practicality on its side

as well, it has a trendy coupe-type

design along with four-doors,

well five if you take into account

the rear liftback. Incidentally,

there is a wealth of cargo space

under the liftback, and if you fill

that up there’s also a small cargo

compartment under the front

bonnet.

Inside, the RS e-tron GT is

laid out sporty but comfortable,

the seats are body gripping,

and being a large car space is

generous. It sits low on the road

(1.4m) which means you do have

to fold yourself in a little on entry,

and getting out does tax the hips

a bit if they are well worn like

mine.

Nevertheless, that’s a small

price to pay, for the RS e-tron

is a sports car of true genius,

and five years ago I never would

have thought I’d be saying things

like that about an electric car.

Audi has grasped technology by

the scruff of the neck and has

built a simply amazing sports car

that goes every bit as well as it

looks.

Take the figures, for example,

the RS e-tron GT has power

outputs of 440kW and 830Nm,

channelled immediately through a

two-speed gearbox to two motors,

one up front and one over the rear

axle, giving the car a Quattro-type

feel through four-wheel-drive. A

3.3sec claim to make 100km/h

from a standstill makes it one of

the fastest cars I’ve driven, and its

acceleration doesn’t wilt until it

reaches 250km/h (not that I drove

that fast).

These are most impressive

speeds for a car that weighs

in at over 2.2-tonne, yet the

amazing statistics don’t end

there. Audi claims a 472km

driving range; of course, that’s

best possible usage and factors

that must be considered such

as air temperature, the number

of occupants, a steady throttle

FLOWING: The RS e-tron GT’ is a big car at almost 5m but

it feels constantly sporty.

AUDI RS e-tron GT: Fully electric performance car with a 3.3sec time to make 100km/h

from a standstill.

application, flat roads and little

wind resistance

However, I have to report

that during my time with the

evaluation car, diminishing

battery levels was never a

consideration. It was at full

capacity when I picked up the

vehicle, and even with just a little

bit of trickle charging using the

domestic supply cable (three-pin)

there was never a point where I

was worried about its range.

For the record, Audi also claim

a 5min charge from a designated

charge port will glean you 100km

in distance, while a 23min charge

will see the batteries reach 80

per cent maximum from five per

cent.

For me, though, the RS

e-tron was all about the driving

experience, it moves like a rocket

when the accelerator is depressed,

there are several drive modes, one

that can be tailored individually.

Acceleration is clean, smooth

and, of course, fast.

There’s one other factor

that must be mentioned and

that is the sound, well lack of

it really, the electric whine is

constantly prevalent, but it’s just

background noise, it is far from

overbearing and quite tuneful

to listen to. If you get feisty with

the accelerator there is a louder

• Price – Audi RS e-tron GT,

$273,550

• Configuration – Electric

motors, four-wheeldrive,

440kW, 830Nm,

two-speed automatic

• Performance – 0-100km/h,

3.3sec

sound that increases through

interior and exterior speakers

but even then it is well subdued.

It’s fair to say though that if you

want a hurricane type sound

on acceleration that can be

engineered into the car.

Our long straight roads make

it difficult to get a feel for the RS

e-tron’s handling, but there are a

few corners which suited it near

Coes Ford. Because it sits low

there is little body movement,

and with huge 21in wheels and

tyres that wouldn’t be out of place

on a formula one car, the e-tron

sits wonderfully composed in a

corner with direct turn-in and no

movement off-line. It is superbly

accurate and a joy to guide

through a corner.

Of course, when you apply

throttle out of a corner, it

simply grips up and charges like

a dynamo to the next; midrange

acceleration is simply

invigorating. And when it

comes time to slow down for

the next corner, huge brakes

offer high pedal feel and intense

deceleration.

To be fair, I didn’t drive the RS

e-tron GT to anywhere near its

potential, for one I didn’t want to

risk my licence, while for another

it is a car that deserves respect

with its $273,500 price tag. The

evaluation car was also carrying

a few extra goodies that added

almost another $10k to that

figure.

That’s a big outlay but I can

report you get a lot of car and

a lot of specification, it has

everything the modern car

buyer would want and it simply

fits like a glove, everything is

intuitive.

If you want to join the electric

revolution but want performance

as well, then that is the market

Audi is looking for. They’ve

even made it easy if the price

tag heading toward $300k is

prohibitive, there’s a non RS

model that sits at just below

$200k. Its performance is just as

inviting, it misses out on little to

the racing sport variant and looks

just as exciting.
