The wife's Q5 is in for a service & a couple of pre end of Warranty fixes/updates & we were given a TT-S Roadster as a loan car (she's considering a TT-S or TT-RS as a repalcement later this year). Long story short, they need it for another day or 2 but we're off down South this morning for a long weekend away & youngest is coming with us so the TT-S Roadster wasn't suitable due to lack of rear seats. Asked for a replacement that would be nice for a longer Journey & collected a brand new (assuming it's a C7) S6 last night with a few tasty options. Tis a 12 plate with 130 miles on the clock & has the new 4.0 TFSi V8 engine which i believe adorns all the new bigger S's although in slightly different levels if tune.
Question is this, according to the Audi figures the S6 saloon is 414bhp, but can hit 62 in 4.6secs which i believe is a tad quicker than the same power but much smaller & lighter B7 RS4, but also the same time as the much more powerful & about the same weight C6 RS6. How can this be & also with a combined MPG of 30?
Only driven a few miles so far & i have to be honest it's a true Q car, but when the loud pedal is buried it takes off a fair lick & the styling along with the interior is awesome. Not quite the size inside as my new A8, but will defo make a superb long distance cruiser.
Quite looking forward to the weekends driving
