571 bhp sounds great...the noraml s6 weighs 1910kg, im thinking the rs6 will weigh btn 1940 and 1970 kgs ( M5 1830 kg, E 63 AMG 1840 kg)with the addition of those turbos and other stuff to make it handle...unless they decide to make some of the body panels out of lightweight materials to bring down weight which would be a gr8 idea considering how much lighter the M5 and E63 are

it's been a really slow couple of months for new cars, i hope this rs6 will be a first sign for good things to come.

Best spyshots to date!!! No honeycomb grille for the RS6? I am very excited about this car but I think those rims should go.







World Car Fans:
ew prototypes for the Audi RS6 have been spotted in Germany, this time basically undisguised. Now that the car is free from the annoying black-and-white checkered camouflage, the extent of the changes over the Audi S6 are now clearly visible. The LED light strips on the S6’s front bumper have been removed on this RS6. New front air-intakes are larger, and they wrap around the front bumper allowing for some integrated brake cooling ducts up front. The front intakes are highlighted by low flares which continue along the side, between the wheels, making for a more aggressive stance.

The rear bumper has been reworked significantly. Large single exhaust pipes replace the S6’s dual-tip design, and an aggressive rear diffuser dominates the rear bumper.

Visual differences aside, the real story is in the RS6’s performance potential. Sources predict the addition of a turbocharger to the S6’s 5.2-liter V10 engine, which should generate something between 550 and 600 horsepower. Given this RS6’s nearly production finish, a debut this Fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show seems likely.

I don't really like it... the A6 always looked a bit fat And the RS version isn't much better. I rather prefer the RS4!

Hmmm... I like it apart from the fact that the last RS6 had wider rear flares. Flares are cool. 8)

Hmmm, looks good. But dont expect the new RS6 to blow out the M5. M5 dynos showed it has more than the listed 507hp (507 is a special number to BMW) and the M5 should be lighter. We'll see, but the RS6 does sound nice.

Am I the only one here not too convinced? Its ugly, its going to be bloated, its a huge engine over the front wheels, and it'll be a bit too much power. Give me an M5 or an E63 any day. :fist:

Too much power?! Nah, I don't think so. It will be heavy, so....
