Erik you are fast...

But the time 13,7 is disapointing to me.

Remember m5 stock did it in the supertest in 13,8 but was slower up to 100 kmh.

Many people here said that Audi did unter estimate the car time 0-200 with 14,9. But the mtm audi defintly should that even with a gain of 120 hp and 130 nm more a time under 13,5 it is hardly to achieve.

I guess the biggest problem is the rs6 wight.

Fact ist that the official 14,9 are pretty trough


ok, the outside temperature was pretty hot, but still the time is disapointing means he did 100-200 in 9,4 sec.

We have to wait for the r8v10 to really mutch and outruns bmw v10 m5limo or m6

[steve]

not impressed.

[Erik]

Please note that the car is on 21".

Makes a difference!

[audi_ch]

absolutly correct,

but a gain of 120 hp and 130 nm is a lot, and if people come around with figures for a stock rs6 wicht was messured 0-200 in 13,xxx then this mtm should at least do 12.xxx for the 0-200.

What i wanna say is that no stock rs6 truly messured on an even track would propably do the 0-200 under 14,5 sec, if yes this mtm version should be around low 12,sec on a 911 turbo level.

The car is great but way to heavy

[Mr Balsen]

The test was done 3 weeks ago when the weather was very very hot. Not a good thing for performance measurement.

French Sport Auto was very impressed. 0-100 km/h was measured at 4.1 sec. 1000 meters (stand still) was done in 21'7 ! ! !

[Der Major]

6470 € for the wheels.:doh: :nono:

ok stock in 4,1
heavily tuned in 4,3 :jlol: (even when the weahter was hot

The same magazine messured the stock one in 4,6...

sometime asking myself how accurate those different magasins are.

I just do not believe the 4,1 for a stock, when audi claimes officiale a 4,6..

MTM Tuned = 4'1 sec for 0-100 km/h.

I was with french Sport Auto when they did the measurement ! ! !

[steve]

weight figure for those 21" wheels?

more wheel than car, disproportioned.

and what are M5 figures???do you believe 13.3 sec???

[audi_ch]

and what are M5 figures???do you believe 13.3 sec???


dont know what you wanne tell me.

M5 stock in supertest 2006, 13,8 up to 200 kmh.

im absolutly not a pro bmw fan, but i am a bit realistic about the new rs6, and it seems, that his heavyness, makes him a bit of trouble, for really great strightline acceleration

offical numbers from audi says

4,6 to 100 and 14,9 to 200, makes 100-200 10,3 sec. dont know if that is really that great for 580 hp..

[audi_ch]

MTM Tuned = 4'1 sec for 0-100 km/h.

ok miss understanding.

okay,but there was 13.8 sec for rs6 avant stock in english magazine as someone's written here in another thread,13.5 autozeitung but don't know if the last is real i've heard...

[Leadfoot]

I have never been a big fan of big alloys, plus I bet they are affecting the acceleration on this occasion. But I doubt it will be affecting it by much.

The stock car has posting times as good as these so something has caused the poor results. How does the lap time compare to the stock car?

[kju]

thats fast...my car needs 15 (if best conditions) seconds to 100 kmh :) :) :)

MTM is supposedly a reputable tuner, but there are many tuners who advertise a lot of horsepower but don't deliver the performance that the horsepower indicates.

[Michaël Barbé]

I think we have to wait for more tests of this car. Hopefully in better conditions and with 20" wheels. We can't rely on 1 magazine.

chewym, MTM, unlike some others you will see around here, is IMHO reputable tuner, and, with experience over past 16 years they, are more conservative in the figures.....

Would it be the "french" factor in the measurement techniques? :jlol:

do good thing on sportauto, the tested both, stock rs6, on 14,9 sec up to 200 and now the mtmt version. in 13,7sec.

The lap in Hockenheimring was 1 sec faster on the mtm version

stock rs6 was tested in really cold conditon, and mtm in really warm condition.

i think mtm can go for a low 13,xxx and stock is pretty correct with 14,9, as this match the official audi numbers.

yeah, could be. But I'm also interested in the 0-100 times (km/h).

I like to compare different magazines. I don't mean I don't like this one but how more 'sources' how better the real imago of the car. Do like it anyway. Standard and MTM R.

first of all, think that there no doubt about the capability of MTM.

Is the result good or not, well, it is not that easy to get a few seconds out of a car that heavy.

It there a need to have a station wagon that quick.........this must very owner know for himself.

I think they have done a great job, would I buy one ....no........no matter how much power it can't beat a S8 from the image, quality & prestige point of view, because for most of the people it will be a A6

I wouldn't care what people think it is. That's what I like that people don't look back when they see it. If you want to be seen, and you need the confirmation of others that much: buy a Lambo or so. They will all adore you and they will all want to be your friend. Except the police:)
I would buy the RS6 MTM immediately if I had the money. It's all I look for in a car. The perfect car for me!

Spending $$ to put larger ,heavier rims is OK for Ghetto rapper wannabes but absolutely doesn't make any sense for a true performance enthusiast.
These horrible 21s only kill the potential of that car........:eye:

Knowing the 19" MTM wheels are lighter than the 18" from Audi, I am not too concerned byt he weight of the 21" MTM. Main advantage is the space available for larger brakes. 405x36 in the specific case ! ! !

It would take the 20'" RS6 alloys. How do they compare to to weight of the 21" Bitmoto alloys?

Would it make a big difference to the performance Frederic?

MTM produced an update and stage-1 is now 702 Hp (instead of 666 Hp).
Stage-2 produces 730 Hp (ECU plus exhaust system and air filter).
Torque remains limited at 785 Nm in both stages.
