Coming back to Audi R/S

After a brief hiatus to AMG (see my review in ‘Adversaries’ section) I’m next week picking up the worthy replacement for my now gone E63s estate: a 4S 2016 V10 Plus with almost all the whistles and bells. Will post about it when I get it but as a starter does anyone have the UK brochure (including p...

Re: AMG E63S estate review

Just to finish this thread off I’ve now moved away from the E63s after 2 very happy years of ownership. Closing thoughts……. Things I’ll miss: 1. Ballistic ride, sublime handling (for a 2 ton lump) and epic soundtrack. 2. Monster performance. Moved into Race Mode (or individual) at the push of a butt...

AMG E63S estate review

Been planning on doing a review for a while now seeing as the E63s is the RS6’s natural rival (as there is currently no M5 Touring). If you read my sig block you can see I’m a serial Audi RS owner and have had three RS6’s in various guises. What I’m not though is a fanboy to a particular marque-a gr...

And the long awaited CarWow race is here:

RS6 launches well that’s for sure!

Re: RS6 performance

Picked it up, lovely. Congratulations!!! Now get a you tube account opened up and post some draggy 0-60's before the pathetic audi 'embargo' is lifted (in july!?!?). You'd be the next big thing! Raz Rhoken just did an RS7 PE short review and did a drag run. Car looks brilliant and looks like Audi h...

CAN bus auto theft devices and other security advice

Here is a very geeky and techy article on how CAN bud thefts are occurring. https://kentindell.github.io/2023/04/03/can-injection/ I’m not particularly tech minded at all but essentially thieves have worked a new angle to steal high end vehicles and work around other tech systems. On a separate secu...

Re: RS6 performance

The JA review: https://youtu.be/KHx6Ra_ftJk Looks like the world will have to wait for the rematch with the current heavyweights. Still the better looking car I think and no doubt a far better GT performance car than the rivals. £127k for the Vorsprung though?! Is it £127k worth of car is the questi...

Re: RS6 performance

Just reading the spec sheet for the PE. The only real Competition to these will be the E63s and the Panamera Turbo S. you could also throw in an Alpina B5 as M don’t do M5 Tourings (yet). Audi will 1000% need to be on their A Game to better the others. Even then I doubt the RS6 will be as good (or b...

CarWow Dyno Drag Race and weight comparison: RS6/E63S/M5CP/Panamera Turbo S

Interesting video showing actual power and weight as opposed to the manufacturer figures.
C8 RS6 owners look away now am afraid….

Re: RS6 performance

M5 perf is the one to have of the trio. Not an avant/estate though (have to go to Alpina for that), brilliant cars though but sound oddly muted for a V8-AMG do it so much better (for now). M5 CS is a strong shoe-in for one of the best performance cars money can buy. Incredible things. Sent from my ...

RS6 performance

Still will be smoked by current amg e63 s and m5 performance, I don’t understand why Audi can’t compete it like it was when c7 rs6 was released, it won against current m5 and Mercedes Time will tell but I suspect you’re correct Tadass. The capabilities of both those cars is the stuff of legend now....

Re: RS6 performance

I’m not sure you can order an E63 anymore I suspect Merc will be releasing E version like the new c63e soon Apparently not for the E Class-not sure what they have planned. As for the C63s…..680 bhp but 2.1 tonnes. 2 litre 4 cylinder with speakers in the exhaust for extra fakery. Seeing as the USP o...

Re: RS6 performance

All of these cars perform exceptionally well. I didn’t even open the door when I went to look at the E63s. Its ugly. I couldn’t spend this sort of money on something that I didn’t love the look of. Never mind how fast it hits 60. Lot more to the AMG than 0-60 to be honest. I’ll give you the looks-f...
