I'd believe that as much as the technical spec. One of them says V10!

They are not allowed to sell them until then. EU law.

I know they have to hold on to them for so long. The other car is available sooner, November.

They only have to have them three months IIRC. Feb '14 cannot be right.

The dealers will often advertise their demo fleet under 'used cars' to generate interest and build customer leads
These are most likely that (despite the somewhat haphazard details)
Personally, I'd steer we'll clear of any ex demo RS Models as I've seen how they get driven

Nope, C5 RS 6 specs, the FSI 4.2 as on the RS 4/RS 5 is 4163cc IIRC.

Laughable.

Of course -the last cambelted V8 before the arrival of the revised camchained 4163 in the C5 allroad / B6 S4 / D3 A8 etc

It didn't even occur to me they'd used V8 RS6 figures from two generations back!!

C5 Allroad had a 4163? Doubt it...Probably first appeared in the D3 A8 in '03.

Yeah the C5 allroad V8 model didn't arrive until about 2003. It was the only V8 engined C5 model to use the normal bonnet / bumpers / headlights - it didn't need the long bonnet of the S6 RS6 because it was camchained variant, hence shorter

God you and I are a pair of Audi geeks haha
