Has anyone seen over 500bhp ON a rolling road with a RS6?

Please understand I am not saying that a car will not produce figures like this on the real road, but the problem is producing it on the rollers artificial environment.

Before I start to play with my stock RS6, I took it to a very experienced Rolling Road garage. (I am not getting into the debate of who)

My car would just cut the throttle as we got above 400bhp as the car thought it was slipping like on ice. ESP was off. First in S mode and we tried paddles to hold gear.

P.S. We had a similar problem in the past with my Twin Turbo TVR Griff which was over 500bhp.

Any advice.....?

yep.... 3 times. GardinerG also. Surrey rr are the most reliable. i have never heard of that issue on a RR before. the runs should always be done in tip mode and in 3rd gear. ESP off. A good RR would know this.....Sorry!

Usually, due to single fan (insufficient) cooling, you will only get 1 good run - the 1st and the guy on the RR has to be careful not to kickdown from what Surrey RR told me.

take it to a proper dino which locks onto the hubs rather than trying to get it to grip to rollers.

i have seen to many cars climb out of the dino rollers with anything over 450 bhp. You just end up killing tyres and getting false results.
