What a machine.. From the quality of the interior to options list to the delivery of power and of course the exhaust note!! Audi has done a good job.
Some of my quick findings..
Power delivery; relentless! Didn't notice any turbo lag.
Suspension settings; Comfort is very good. Dynamic didn't try and sport is on the BMW CSL level of firmness. On the less than average quality of road it made me a little bit sick to be honest.. so i went back to comfort.
Steering; I liked the bottom flat steering wheel, it has a nice feel to it. The steering is quite direct, i also liked it.
Handling; Because it is a large and heavy car, i can't compare it to my M3 but it was good. i liked it. It will outhandle my M3 on wet (despite the size) not on dry though i'm afraid.
The massive torque deals with the weight of the car effortlessly. The running costs might be high due to this fact.. the tyres, pads etc.
..Flooring the car on bends and exits (within reasons of course) doesn't get you to sweat. I had a lot of confidence in this car also, the gear box holds on to gear on a bend too.
Engine; WOW!
Transmision; The gear changes are awesome. On the release of RS6, i was dissapointed that it has an automatic box but now i can see that it actually suits the charachter of the car and the gear changes are so quick!!! Amazing

Exhaust note; Dangerously addictive!!
The parking system is very nice, the same as the S8 has with a camera, i loved it.
It is very difficult to tell what is quicker, M5 or RS6 on a straight line acceleration. I'd say not much in it either way.
The M6 is quicker or made me feel that way.
There's no other Audi that i'd like more. The RS6 is the Daddy.
I am also a big fan of M brand as you all know and if i were to decide between M5 e60 or C6 RS6, i'd have to toss a coin..
The RS6 being a new car and technology has the edge though..
Did i mention the savage torque and acceleration of this Audi? :hihi:
I loved the car.
