Question about the 2008 RS6

[Majestic]

I live in USA and I dont think that the RS6 is going to come to America, I was wondering if we are able to import the new RS6 or that it wasnt allowed

You will need about 2 million dollars and about 10 brand new RS6s to crash.

Check the national highway safety and transportation sites.

Your better off with a Bugatti

Crash issues aside, don't forget about the emission requirements.

[The RS6]

I don't understand one thing...everybody's saying things about emission requrements being the problem when importing european cars over to the USA ... well doesn't (for instance) the RS6 have better emissions than some huge corvete engine powered truck?

[DHall1]

EPA fuel cafe standards withstanding.

To specifically answer your question below. NO

Any RS6 driven at WOT will produce a ton of raw fuel out the exhaust. To the tune of about 10:1 A/F ratio. To compare, any non turbo charged/supercharged engine will produce at the most 13.5:1 A/F ratio. Do the math from there and see which one will be more difficult to get into the US.

Kinda watered down but ...
