    How about this?

    RS5: 430Nm at 4,000 – 6,000rpm
    S6: 550Nm of torque from 1,400-5,300rpm

    Yup...we all like to talk HP, but the brutal acceleration is all due to torque, and when it hits.. The RS5 has to get all the way to 4K before you get its maximum oomph, whilst the S6 and your beast are delivering a mighty push almost immediately upon gear change.

    This is why we LOVE forced induction!
