New RS6

Post by martian » Sat Jan 03, 2004 4:05 pm

There's been a lot of discussion on here re the new RS4 so I thought I'd share the following about the new A6/S6/RS6;
A6- due this summer and 2005 for Avant. 2005 will also see the Lambo Gallardo V10 5-litre engine in the A6

S6- no more
RS6-due 2006, 500 BHP, V10 twin turbo. [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

yay ! However it almost seems the RS is no longer a exclusive car though.

Maybe its about time we had a hard nose RSR ? My RS4 is nice, but it should have been more OEM track ready as standard in my mind.

OEM track ready? It's a 1500kg estate car - hardly the most likely candidate for track work [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Next RS6 is miles off.. and yes.. Audi seem to see their RS brand more like BMW's M brand, rather than the off shoot the origional RS4 (and RS2) was...

more money to be made I suppose
