Mmmm - scrumptious

doesn't look as hardcore as the s4, but still looks less in-your-face then the m5

Another great looking Audi! I like them more by every new model that is released. The Estate version looks even better IMO. And anyway, may fatherīs got an A4 and the build quality is simply stunning :shock: Audi really is getting better and better.

5.2 V10 i hope the engine to be as revy as M5s, the BMW will have to tune M5 a bit for the upcoming RS6 :twisted:

skituner 01-09-2006 05:37 PM

avant looks soo nice

LotusGT1 01-09-2006 05:49 PM

Looks nice. Back of the sedan looks a bit too tame however...

Ford Capri 2.8i 01-09-2006 06:08 PM

Actually the car looks awesome, and probably the engine is almost as brilliant as M5īs and as brilliant as the mercsīs V10; however, from my point of view the car lacks in power (and probably in performances) compared to the M5 or the merc, and if I were used to the 500bhp Id see the difference

On the other hand, I miss the Biturbo engine that used to have the former RS6, the former RS4, and ill miss a lot if the 5500 merc kompressor engine ir replaced by the 6300cc one

Finally, an aui sedan that looks good and agressive. This is one of the first Audi's that I would actually think about buying. The sedan that is, I still would have no use for the estate. But that S6 saloon is a fine looking automobile.

It does bother me that they were only able to get 420 hp out of a V10. Thats a little on the pathetic side. And I don't even want to know aht the price will be. Audi's are usually overpriced anyway...especailly the S models. When similar competition is factored in along with reliability issues, these cars aren't worth it IMO.

If the S6 would have had 500Hp the room for a RS6 would be too small...

It' not that they aren't able to get more hp from the Gallardo engine. It's actually detuned.

The toaster oven grill suddenly looks much more appealing :mrgreen:

Then it's a waste. They held back on something that could have been so much better. And why? To create the market for the non-detuned RS6? Hmmm, sounds much like the Porsche Caymen having to fill the niche between the boxter and the carrera.

It doesn't look bad at all :) The wheels look a bit weird....:roll: but it's fine!

But....what engine will have the RS6 ?? This V10 is the biggest engine Audi has nowadays. Are they gonna use the V12 from the Murcielago ???? :shock: Or a biturbo version of this V10 ???
