If I were to purchase an S6, would I simply be able to remove everything drive train related, interior, etc from my RS6 into the S6, and vice versa, or would this require custom work in order for proper fitment?

I'm sure there's going to be custom work that's required...
someone was actually doing this. Saw it posted before on here or the old Audiworld.

I'm wagering that he's thinking about putting the C5 RS6 into the C6 S6....
C5 RS6 sedan swap drivetrain into C5 S6 Avant.
92% swap and bolt in.
8% semi-custom work. Hammer and dolly to the floorpan.
Done.

RS6 #1 / 45k and counting, stuff.... RS6 #2/ sent to the great white north after the GIAC discovery/fiasco . ... E55 /sent to the great white north.....RS6 #3 /35k and counting...mostly stock (try this again) S6 Avant / For Sale!
ya, I'm with dave; i'd swap rs6 into an avant before i'd throw it into an s6
Yeah looks like most of the stuff will fit right in. I was thinking about doing that with my s6. You know you can import RS6 avants into US.
Nope, didnt know that you could import a C5 RS6 Avant.
Tell me more about the process?

Thats what I'm refering too, since we have no RS6 avant in the US. Its a way to make one
in norway or sweden(dont remember) they convert a4 b6 into rs4 b7
Another way, as someone I know did it, is to use the ass-end of the S6 and swap it in for the rear of the RS6. His came out beautifully, but I don't know what the cost was.Thats what I'm refering too, since we have no RS6 avant in the US. Its a way to make one

I gave up on my idea to swap a S6 Avant driveline and build a Avant RS6.
Everything would take a dive in value. I mean nothing would be worth a penny. VIN#s and engines would not match. There would be trouble with the DOT if there was an inspection.
Give up.
Then that new supercharger came out for the S6 4.2. Thats when the gears got going again. If I do this....it will be to supercharge a 4.2 S6 and then add some RS6 trim to the S6. There is my next car. Thats if our Supercharged LX470 ever gives up.Its not looking like any time soon and people with clean S6 units think they are made of gold and asking RS6 prices for a used S6.

New to the forum. Have owned my Daytona Gray RS6 for just a month now. If I did it correctly attached to this message should be a pdf file with the entire text of the the NHSTA's approval to allow importation of RS6 sedans and RS6 Avants that did not originally conform to our nation's safety standards.
The notice indicates the original petitioner, VW's comments, petitioner's response and what the NHSTA's mandated had to be done to the vehicles for a Registered Importer to certify them.
Well,
That is quite a first post. Who are you and how did you get this?
I like this idea and we should start a new thread on how to import a RS6 Avant.

There are a few RS6 avants in US.Thats what I'm refering too, since we have no RS6 avant in the US. Its a way to make one
Shokan has one for a few years now.
There was another one for sale.
They legalized import of RS6 avants into US about a year ago so no more gray market. So find one in europe and bring it here. You can legaly register it.
I think this Phoenix one is Paul Walker's fake RS6...
