I hope you'r wrong... Mondeo st220 220hp and jag e-type - 1:33 the same times as rs6... ? 4me it must be about 1:28 maximum (2sec slower than m5.....)

The RS6

January 24th, 2007, 21:36

The time is not on the list, you need to watch full episodes.
New RS4 - 1:25
RS6: 1:33... and I think it was wet I'll check it up...

Very very wet track... Everything right now :D The same time as NSX as they said. Am I right? :P "That's very very quick car"

January 25th, 2007, 14:00

It is, no worries about that. :addict:
What struck me more was 1:25 from the new RS4! Check out the cars around that time... :eek: :rs4kiss:
Only the supercars are faster...

1:30.9... 2003 S4 understated? However, I watched an episode of the 2003 S4 vs STI vs EvoIII and the S4 came out on top in the track time. What happened?

:vhmmm: Where did it say that the RS6 time was done on a very wet track. I've checked Top Gear website and no word of the RS6 at all. All I have read about the S4 and the RS6 lead me to believe that:vhmmm: the S4 is quicker down any given road compared to a RS6, sorry guys, so the 1:33 for the RS6 would be about right for a dry track as this was what the S4 did it's time on.

Note how the R32 is even quicker than the S4 and the S3 is about 2.5~3 seconds quicker than the R32 so that would put it's time in the regions of 1:27.4~1:28 in other words the equal of a EVO VIII, not bad for a 265hp hot hatch.:jlol:

:doh: What a dick, next time I'll put my brain in gear before I open my mouth.:thumb:

Anyway I still think it wouldn't be an quicker than the S4 in the dry.

LOL :thumb:
Anyway, I Can't tell since I never drove any S/RS model :cry: , but what I can tell you is that the TopGear team usually says that the difference between cars on dry or wet on their track is about 4 seconds. So then I reckon the RS6 could have done it in about 1:29 if it were dry...
Maybe 1:28 because it REALLY was wet out there...
:dig:

Just my thoughts...

I hope that the new RS6 will can do about 1:23 8)

That 4 seconds difference is for the Celebs in the cheap car not the Stig who is a trained racing driver. Also the 1:33 time may have been 1:33.8 or 9 as back then they only showed the whole second time.

Oh, sorry then, they've been away for too long now :)

Back again on sunday, maybe we'll see an S6 or R8 in a few months time... :wo:

Just look at the short clip on the wet track. The RS6 just goes around the corners and pulls out... Quattro power!

the rs4 is a very impressive track machine. it has just won performance car of the year in australia, beating the 911 turbo, z4 m, m5, m6, evo 9 & e63 in that order. they were complimentry about everything, but most impressed by it's capabilities on the track...

It shows the consistency of Horst's time. With the Carrera S his time was 8:05 with ceramic brakes and PASM on 'Performance' and with the RS4 his time was 8:09. It's understandable that he would be quicker with the rwd car as this is which his use to where as Frank has had many years perfecting his skills with the quattro system.

Did you see the jag xkr on the show tonight , it managed 1,34 in the wet.

Did you see the jag xkr on the show tonight , it managed 1,34 in the wet.

Yes, and this puts into focus how much things has improved sense the RS6 did it's run in similar conditions. If a rwd car is only at most 1 second slower what would a new S6 do it's lap in similar track conditions. I reckon a 1:30~1:31 is a likely conclusion. But as for the XKR, nice looks but cheap interior.

What did you think of the crash, amazing I didn't know it was the front tyre that blew out, I thought it was the rear. Though I did laugh that the things Hamster said before the runs, priceless and so freaky.
