    Press Event: RS6 Avant

    Dear Friends,

    since yesterday the Press is able to Testdrive the new RS6 Avant in Le Castellet, Grand Prix Racetrack Paul Ricard.

    All test cars are equipped with Pirelli PZero Tires, that are certified for OE use.

    You can expect the first released Test Details within the next days.

    I'm really looking forward to this - let's see if this car is worth the expected premium over M5 and E63 AMG

    Qisha, do you know if Press can be drive it on the road also. As much as I'd like to believe I would spend all my time driving it on a track this will be a pretty limited test.

    It is very interesting to know the test drive results.
    What does the press say about - is it better than M5 or E63 AMG?
    Does anybody know something about that?

    Dear Friends,

    a handful of cars do have the Ceramic Brake option, most do have the SS+, the Sportexhaust option is fitted as well.

    This event is thought to give a first driving impression to the press, well, under safe cirumstances (racetrack).

    PS: notice how quick the tiptronic is...

    I could live with that.

    It does seem to put on speed quite quickly so I think the M5 members of the group might be wise to take note.

    it seems like the rs6 is faster to 200 km/h than the m5, just imagine what it will do to the m5 with a remap ...

    I think you were right in your comments as always
