What you think lads
Hi think of doing a rs6 c7 saloon conversion what you lot think
Re: What you think lads
I've been saying for a while now if I had the money I'd be making an RS6 saloon by buying an S6 saloon and and RS6 avant and transferring everything across.
A cheaper alternative would be a widebody S6 conversion i.e. leave the existing engine etc. I assume this is what you mean? Still a quick car, and a V8 turbo so plenty of extra power to be gained. The V8 is the main reason for me wanting to do an S6 widebody rather than an S4 widebody.

Being a fan of the RS7 looks i cant see why; but i know its a bit marmite.
Re: What you think lads
Yeah I think it's hideous from the back, much like the RS6 avant. Different story from the front though.barryrs wrote:Being a fan of the RS7 looks i cant see why; but i know its a bit marmite.
Re: What you think lads
S6 is S-tronic so it might be a bit limited on torque and longevity, still an effing quick car.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: What you think lads
That's a good point. I did find it odd that Audi didn't put their flagship tranny in the RS6, as most of their competition are running with the sexier DCT boxes, but no doubting the RS6 is rapid with it's ZF slush box.bam_bam wrote:S6 is S-tronic so it might be a bit limited on torque and longevity, still an effing quick car.
What transmission does the S8 run with?

Re: What you think lads
S6 to RS6 already done, albeit in avant form:

It'd probably be an AWD versus torque/weight issue.W8PMC wrote:That's a good point.

The S8 runs a ZF8 IIRC.

Re: What you think lads
Sounds nice! Looks like the genuine thing. I assume they used genuine parts although it probably cost close to (or more than) an actual RS6 so not sure of the point.Golfather wrote:S6 to RS6 already done, albeit in avant form:
Not an engine transplant though.
Re: What you think lads
Does anyone know the difference between the s6 and rs6 engine? I assume it is internals and major parts like the block so not easily modified to make an exact engine rather than just a different map / filters / exhaust / intercooler etc?
Re: What you think lads
No need for an engine transplant.
Few bolt on mods yield similar figures:

This.
But the S-Tronic could be an issue.Golfather wrote:No need for an engine transplant.

Re: What you think lads
Id have got one years ago. If it wasnt for how fookin bland it looks, even with the rs6 bolt on trim:




Re: What you think lads
A few bolt on mods will give a similar figure to a standard RS6 but is there anyway to get the sort of numbers a remapped RS6 gives? I've not looked into it, I'm just making an assumption that unless you have the same starting field the you will always be a bit behind in the numbers, which is why I wondered if you could make the S6 engine into an RS6 engine fairly easily.Golfather wrote:No need for an engine transplant.

Re: What you think lads
Yes I agree, it definately needs the bumpers and wide arches, then dropped and add some decent wheels.Golfather wrote:Id have got one years ago. If it wasnt for how fookin bland it looks, even with the rs6 bolt on trim:
