Just had a call from my dealer.
There is an rs6 plus just been announced.
He wasn't sure of the exact spec but what he did tell me was:
Derestricted to 189mph
Carbon package in engine bay.
Individual build number plaque in car (only 500 being built worldwide).
Special rs6 floormats.
Luxury leather including leather door inserts, armrest and full dashboard.
Audi exclusive paint.
Not sure if there is any extra bhp.
I think that was the lot, but my mind started to go into overdrive working out if I want one or not. Decisions, decisons!
He is emailing me the full details as soon as he gets them. I'll pass them on as soon as I do.
Rs6 Plus anybody?
* Limited to 500 units: RS 6 plus Sport and RS 6 plus Audi exclusive
Audi is offering two new limited-edition equipment packages for the RS 6 – restricted to just 500 units. With a top speed of 303 km/h (188.28 mph), a Carbon design package for the engine compartment, 20-inch wheels bearing a 5 segment-spoke design, and the sports suspension plus, each of these RS 6 models will be truly unique. In fact, each of them will be a one-of-a-kind thanks to a numbered badge in the interior. Customers can opt for one of two packages: RS 6 plus Sport or RS 6 plus Audi exclusive.
The Sport version features an instrument-panel hood and center console covered in leather; an RS 6 logo adorns the front floor mats. Concerning the Audi exclusive package, customers can also specify a custom paint job by choosing from the color range of quattro GmbH. In addition, the seat upholstery, controls, door trim inserts, front center armrest, and the armrests in the door trims are covered in leather of an attractive color from the Audi exclusive program. Seat add-on parts are adapted to match the color of leather in question.
Thanks to FSI direct gasoline injection, twin-turbo supercharging, and dry sump lubrication, the high-performance V10 delivers 426 kW (580 hp) and maximum torque of 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) between 1,500 and 6,250 rpm. This sedan mirrors the performance of a high-performance sports car: from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.14 mph) in just 4.5 seconds and it exceeds the 200 km/h threshold (124.27 mph) after just 14.5 seconds. The sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) reduces pitch and roll by purely mechanical means. The driver can switch among the three operating modes of the MMI operating terminal’s shock-absorber control system: comfort, dynamic, and sport.
The RS 6 offers all the comfort of the A6 line of business models and is in the hands of quattro GmbH, a fully-owned subsidiary of AUDI AG. High-quality materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, leather, and Alcantara create a cultivated and dynamic atmosphere in the interior. And intelligent assistance systems grant drivers yet more control. Audi lane assist warns the driver should the car inadvertently veer out of its lane.
Audi side assist alerts the driver to possible critical situations during lane changes. Audi adaptive cruise control maintains proper speed and following distance. In addition to three-dimensional road maps, the MMI navigation plus offers a DVD player for navigation/audio/video DVDs as well as a radio with dual tuner and a 40 GB hard disk drive which can store up to 3,000 musical tracks in addition to navigation data.
The RS 6 plus Sport and RS 6 plus Audi exclusive equipment packages are available now. The Sport version costs 3,250 euros; the Audi exclusive package 8,310 euros. This equates to savings of about 50 percent compared to purchasing the items individually.
So, same power plant sadly....
not that it is lacking in any way!

not that it is lacking in any way! R8 V10 Coupe, R-Tronic - Ibis White & All the Carbon + Ceramics + Heffner Performance Twin Turbo.
I had the lastt RS6+ at launch (only 999 were to be introduced) and it was nice to see prices drift upwards for a while. But if I remember only 60 or so cars came to the UK because demand was quite limited. Does anyone know how many are coming to the UK?Nudenut wrote:* Limited to 500 units: RS 6 plus Sport and RS 6 plus Audi exclusive ........

Welcome additon of the 3 modes to the DRC system. If they are bold enough to offer this, maybe they have finally killed the DRC gremlins.

Some nice balanced debate on there.hlbeckley wrote:http://www.wheels24.co.za/Content/News/ ... dition_RS6
Who fancies a road trip down to South Africa to prove they actually sold some RS6s?
Thanks for that information. So what is really unique about this limited edition car?Nudenut wrote:Sports Susspension Plus is Std on the C6.sims wrote:Welcome additon of the 3 modes to the DRC system.

From what I can see, nothing really... total derestriction (prev option was 280Kmh/174mph now 300kmh/186mph) with the carbon trim set under the bonnet and 50% reduction on custom paint/trim options.
So in essence you pay to be part of an exclusive club of 500 with plaque to show but if I'm correct my understanding is that Audi haven't sold over 500 C6's anyway so they're pretty damn exclusive now in current guise

Even a slight power hike - 600ps (as with the C5 RS6+, Porsche Turbo S, some changes to latest M6 - competition pack?), some change in brakes etc would have been more welcome to feel that little special. The rest is cosmetic, it seems.Nudenut wrote:From what I can see, nothing really... total derestriction (prev option was 280Kmh/174mph now 300kmh/186mph) with the carbon trim set under the bonnet and 50% reduction on custom paint/trim options.

In 5 years time, will the residuals be much different for the C6 RS6 & the Plus.
Yeah 2nd Gear, a lot of clowns in SA who are so wrapped up in BMW ownership that they never see the joy of AUDI. Have only seen 2 C6 RS6's around, but what an understated beast of a car. Who cares what people WANT to compare them to, they have no equal and stand out above most cars. Would personally choose one over a Vantage, but then again i have a small kid
Whereabouts in SA are you? There are some amazing roads down there.
Years ago I was shooting a commercial in Namibia and we were driven up from Cape Town in a VW Combi. I spent the entire journey muttering how much better it would have been if I'd been driving in something more sporty.
I now know that thing should have been an RS6.

I live in Jo-burg, but am in Cape Town ever few months fro work. best drives in SA in the cape. The Mille Miglia is coming here this year, starting in Jo-burg running to Port Elizabeth then taking the Garden Route (Stunning costal drive) to Cape Town. If you ever back in SA, start your road trip from PE then go to Cape Town and then into the winelands....it doesnt feel like Africa. You can hire an RS4 for the trip
