How many 'beasts' are on the board? Audi RS6

[Klint]

Hi,

Having seen a similar count of cars on other forums. I thought I would set one up over here.

If you have a RS6, you can post the Colours, Options, Date of delivery and a picture to contribute to a kind of database of the number of RS6s out there.

Thanks!

:cheers:

[peterb]

I'm not sure how helpful it is to post lists of options. Something which is standard in one market may be an option in another market and not available at all in a third market. Eg, Nav+ is standard in UK, an option in the rest of Europe and not available in the States. I've heard it said that folding rear seats are not available in the US, whereas they are standard in the UK on both Avant and Saloon models.

[peterb]

Okay, here's mine:

RS6 Avant, Daytona Grey, Silver interior.

Standard UK spec with the following factory-fitted options - 18" wheels, rear side airbags, Alcantara centre panels, Poplar Wood trim, reversible luggage mat.

I took deliver on 20th May, since then I have - debadged it, fitted a PhatBox, Road Pilot (with radar head) and an LRC100.

U.S Spec RS 6, Muegello Blue, carbon, sport exhaust. Thats all I needed and wanted less options to weigh her down, dont care about the resale I will never sell her she is mine forever mine all mine I tell ya. Wheww these cars are something else:cheers:
Sorry for the quality I need to get another digital camera ad stop scanning.

[BBGT2]

Hey Jimmy,
:cheers:

Question for you that "Xpel" is that the clear bra kind of a deal they install on front ends, if so you got a website for them or phone I am considering it depending on what it looks like. How do you like yours.
Guys sorry for the off topic question but I had to ask.


Bajo:addict:

[Rally]

Another Daytona for the mix...

Carbon, rear bags and sound enhancing exhaust.
I didn't order navigation in hopes it wouldn't have the shark fin antenna. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

[jimmy94507]

Bajo,

Yes, Xpel uses a clear film (3M) in their kits.
http://www.xpel.com/
Go to "Shop" and you'll find it as 2003 RS6 They have a search to find an installer in your area.

See the thread: "Clear paint protection for RS6" for more on the topic. Or, email me. (jimmy94507@earthlink.net)

Regards, Jim

[BBGT2]

Jimmy:cheers:

Thank you very much for the info I will look into it.


Bajo:addict:

[GmbHouse]

Daytona Grey, Ebony, Nav., Airbags, Exhaust, 3M bra, Huper Optiks window tint.

[Klint]

Okay, at the latest count. We have: (Not including the differences between markets)

Ten RS6s on the board of which: One is an Avant while the other nine are saloons. Six of those are Daytona Grey with Mugello Blue second, having three counts in it’s favour and only one Avus Silver RS6. Ebony appears to be the most popular interior colour for RS6 owners.

At first glance the favourite (factory) options/Specs for RS6 buyers are: (Not in order)

Sports Exhaust or the Sound enhancing exhaust. Rear side airbags and the Carbon interior also appears to be a popular spec for RS6 buyers.

Keep them coming!

:cheers:

P.S If I ever get round to doing a tally of the certain spec of each vehicle...I'll produce a kind of chart or the favourites or the favourites. I.E Interior colours vs each other, Exterior colours Vs each other same thing with options. This will then hopefully determine what the best all round options and colours (Int and Ext) would be for the RS6. That's of course...If I get round to it..:hmm:

[eph94]

Another Avus silver here, except I got the silver interior. For options, I have rear side airbags and NAV.

[RS6FEVR]

:cheers: ALL

Okay, U.S. spec misano red with silver interior, carbon fiber trim, sound enhanced exhaust, nav, solar warm weather package. Came with Dunlops (not too bad a tire overall so far). :D :D

Great post let keep going, where is Icon's pic. Mr Fruty pants etc.

[RS6FEVR]

:cheers: Bajo

I'm definitely still smiling and experiencing that "magnetic" attraction to try and do everything in the beast with the slightest excuse! You too, right! Hit 1000 last nite, so she's ready to rock and roll as needed! Had a nice run with a beautifu yellow turbo GT2 who, not for lack of trying, didn't just get up and walk away. Kind of smiled when we got to the next light and I was still in his rear view. :D

I'll make my best attempt to summon my amateur talent and actually get some decent pictures this weekend. Gotta get another coat of Z2 on the baby this afternoon and make her more presentable. :p

Next time you talk to your dealer, could you find out how many misano red he ordered? Seems like I'm the only one at Schaumburg Audi. I've gotten some very nice comments from "car" guys about the color. There are so many great attributes in this car, but braking is right up there with the best of them. Totally awe struck with their efficiency - WOW! :race:

I just picked up my "beast" this afternoon. I tell you this thing is so much more than I imagened the dealer (Audi of Charlotte) would not allow test drives so I bought it anyway.
For the record it is Mugello Blue with white interior (or a shade there of) Nav, exhaust, warm weather package, and I am going to try and find the 19's from Europe.
I look forward to chatting to you guys about the car.
Will add pictures once the sun rises again.

I am another Daytona Grey - ordered the car over a year ago, took delivery of car in mid August from Clair Audi Boston, MA. Got all the options, except Warm Weather Package. Disappointed with NAV - thought it would be the Euro-style shown in the Geneva show car. One note to make to the group, this motor is hand built and broken in on a dyno (just like a proper race motor), so no need for "break in" with the exception of sustained top speed runs - not a problem in the US. This info comes straight from Quattro, so let 'em rip!

[Finnus]

this motor is hand built and broken in on a dyno (just like a proper race motor), so no need for "break in"

Thats what I was told also, but the manual outlines a break-in period and most of us have erred on the conservative side following it. Want to give the Beast every advantage in its new life ...

Don't want to start a post on break-in, but with 150 miles I've been thru every gear with a different RPM profile. An educated friend who works for APR Tuning believes (an opinion, but educated for sure ... MME from GTech) that one should drive the car like you will drive it years from now ... most important let it warm up and cool down ... but in between ... let her run where she's comfortable. This car is unreal and that says alot coming from a '02 - 996 Turbo.

I will have to tint my windows so I don't get so many looks from the huge grin on my face

[coopsrs6]

Still waiting here for delivery? Dealer told me factory did final checks 09/15/03---However RS6 milestone @ #5 today! How loud is exhaust in cabin @ freeway speeds--60+ @ steady throttle? I have the S8 in shop too often--hope RS6 is a little tighter specs.

[Bauer]

Cooprs6,

I have the sound enhancing exhaust on my RS6 and at crusing speeds its a nice low muffled sound, but when you open it up, thats a different story. Its a wounderfuly addictive sound:cheers:

P.S. sorry to hear about your S8 having problems......my has been trouble free with 47k on it. With the exception of a break noise which was fixed by dealer with newly designed rotors and a set of porsche break pads.

O.K. I finally got off my lazy@ss and got this done with the help of my brother in law(better digital camera then mine) and Erik(I am not very computer savvy didn't know how to compress file size). Thanks guys!

[quattroboy]

Hello fellow rs6'ers!

I have been following this forum for a while, and got my mugello blue rocketship about 3 weeks ago from Sonnen Audi in Marin. Only option was the sound enhancing exhaust, although I'm having a phatbox added right now. Interior is black, poplar wood not carbon fiber. I've owned a succession of quattros, from A4's to A8's, it started back in '89 with a silver/chocolate ur quattro, which had been federalized from Canada, and had the cool euro bumpers. it was a cool car at the time, but Audi has sure come a looong way! The real world performance of the RS6 is staggering, as you all well know.

One of these days I'll scan in a couple of pictures I have of my (sold in '95) ur-quattro to bring back some memories. Keep up the great work of mutual support, and I'll report on my phatbox experience.

:addict:

Welcome and congrats. I already KNOW you're enjoying your cars so i don't need to ask. Some pics though would be nice.

Ben:addict:

[Bauer]

Texaswhite and quattroboy,

Welcome aboard, I look forward to pictures and stories from both of you.

quattroboy-looks like there are three of us in the eastbay one in Marin and one in the south bay. How did you hear about the board...I saw a Bule RS6 in Emeryvill about three weeks ago and put a note on the windshield....was that you?:cheers:

[quattroboy]

Bauer

Maybe there are more of us than you think in the east bay...I actually work in Livermore, and have twice seen an avus silver RS6 here in town, seemingly whoever drives it works at or near the Lawrence Livermore Lab. Regarding your "note" comment, I do occasionally stop in Emeryville, but I don't remember a note on windshield, and can't recall stopping while in the RS6, so maybe there is yet another of us lurking in the area. Sonnen Audi recently sold a couple more RS6's, one ebony and one gray, I believe. Rumors are that one of the buyers is looking hard at chipping his car.

One of these days we should organize a Bay Area meet! My salesman at the dealersip (an SCCA member) claims he can get me/us on the track at Thunderhill for a day of instruction/play for $195-I'll press him for details as I work the phatnoisy thing per my other thread.

BTW, I also believe Livermore Audi has an ebony RS6 for sale, although I haven't been by in the last couple of weeks. :cheers:

Good to have you join us. Looks like you are going to be getting one of the last RS6's to reach American soil. I know once you get the car you will love it it is one awesome ride. I have about 3800 miles and am really learning alot about this car and loving it more and more. Be patient with your break in period and enjoy the slow pace foe a while because after break in you will be flying low everywhere you go.

HI,

Did about 300 km's yesterday, albeit gently. Overtaking is SO easy :addict: This is addictive.

Note the towbar - custom made to factory specs. Just for taking the boat to the ramp and home again.

I see you have a towbar (Towhook), I don't think anyone else on the board has one attached to the RS6. :confused:

Lovely car none the less! :D

Ksurg- it looks like there are about 5 of us in Nor Cal on this board
Let us know when the beast is in your hands!!!

Kiwi- Cool tow set up....see the RS6 is practical too

:cheers:

For those who are interested, the towbar unit is removable as well. I left it on for the photos.

[ellwer]

Hi all,
I just picked up my Avus RS 6 last week. My local dealer called me when the person who had the allocation bailed at the last minute. All I can say is DAMN ! I love this car. I'm going to get rid of my Boxster S, as it now seems like a toy in comparison. Also, the RS 6 is more practical for this part of the country (upstate NY) and our less than ideal weather.
For the record:

Ellwer,

Congrats on the new car...and I know patience on the break in is hard but well worth it. I liken the RS6 to a "practical 993 TT" because its almost as fast and can fit four people:cheers:

I put milltek exhaust on it and Sportec chip for engine and tiptronic and very looking forward to putting more power under the bonnet.

Congrats on the car by the way, it's a beaut. Are those rear lights aftermarket?

Thanks mate.The lights I put in the day I got the car as I thought it would look nice and it does.It gives it that little special thing,u know what I mean.So,yeah,I suppose they are aftermarket:)

[romac]

Took delivery NOV 4. On the way home from the dealer another RS6 pulls up beside me, first one I had seen on the road.

In advance of delivery, I had asked the dealer replace the summer tires with Pilot Sport A/S. I was too revved when picking the car up to look beyond the Michelin logo. After I got home, I realized they put Pilot Sports on. They did however take care of it on their $ (painful service story).

Love It!!

@ romac

where is your left side-mirror ??? Don't you have one or did I miss a a story about it ??



mjrr

[romac]

-- Good eye!! Its wearing that new photo transparent paint from Dupont. Obviously works well!!! Next step is to repaint the car to completely hide from the police!!!

-- Actually had to edit out a major sun glint off the silver mirror fairing that detracted from the car.

[Snow]

Hi hi! I didn't see it until you mentioned it. I think I'd prefer it with a sun glint. It feels kinda chopped now.
Maybe the chop shop in you neighbourhood needed one (?) S6/RS6 style side mirror. ;)

its great the thing flies there, is less turbo lag thanks to the diverter valves the car is like a rocket. You get the same kick as at 30 mph at a 100 mph. The exhaust is great the sound is unbelievable, you will want to stat the car just to here the rumble.

[fredrikostereng]

nyrs6,

You can really feel the diffrence between original chip and the MTM chip, in Norway we have approx 100 km/h speed limits so until now I tested zero-200 and it`s a lot faster. I will go to Germany within January to see if I pass the 300 km/h mark...

Also, I think this is addictive, I am considering to upgrade with the exhaust and race cathalysathors aswell....

Best rgds,
Fredrik

Wrong beast. I got the color right. It's raining here in N. Cal and although I know that is where the Quattro shines, i just don't feel like taking it outside today. I'll post some pix when the sun comes out and I can get decent pictures of the vehicle.

[Bauer]

Billbozilla-

Congrats!!!! That is awsome and I am very glad you are happy with the car...just wait until break in is over:D :D . Be careful thought the car is VERY addictive...I wouldn't want to see you develope a"problem":hihi: .

And yes a Nor Cal meet would be great....Jimmy and I were talking about that yesterday. Lets start working on it. Thoughts?

:cheers:

TODAY - I finally take delivery of my Daytona Gray, Enhanced Exhaust, Carbon Trim, with Audi snow rim/tire kit RS6. I was supposed to ge the car in October, but the boat it was on broke down and had to be towed. I was then out of the country for the month of December when it arrived. Since I returned on January 3rd, my dealer has been trying to find a set of available snow tires and rims for it. It has been a long time coming, but today is the day. While I am there I am going to put my name on the list for the Le Mans!!!!

Not a bad idea. I'd be interested.

Anyone here driving on Foothill Expressway in Los Altos, CA around 7:40 PST this evening? It was a Mugello Blue with sport exhaust with dealer tags still on it...

[Bauer]

mp-

Grongrats on the new RS6....sounds like quite a journey for your beast:D . Almost home though. I am SURE the wait will be worth it....it was for me and then some. Would be interested in your thought of the RS6 compared to other cars you have owned? There was a thread started a while ago with the comparo....found it very interesting how the RS6 stacked up against previously owned cars.

P.S. I was in Minneapolis in Sept for a wedding, stayed at the Grand downtown(hotel and staff were teriffic). Most of my relatives live in either St. Paul or Minneapolis...weather was still pretty nice then.... I am sure you are going to need those snow tires.

Oh, one other thing, welcome to the board:cheers:

[mp]

Thanks Bauer.

Well, the waiting is over and the verdict is in, the car is great (understatement). There are some really surprising things about the car though: I don't like big cars, but this car does not feel big when you drive it as it is SO tight. And the power - punishing. To answer your question Bauer, I own a 2000 Boxster S (still love her), but this takes things to another level. Being a Minnesota guy I have always loved Audis (own 2 A4s, 1 2.8 and 1 1.8T) as they are the perfect MN car. This car though gives you the best of all worlds: a luxury sedan, a true sports car, and great transportation in the tundra. I ordered a snow tire and rim package from Audi. It turned out awesome as the rims are the five spoke just like on the Euro version, but 18". So, the car has great snows on it with the Euro looking rim. My dealer sold me the tire & rim package for 1900 due to my headaches, so I feel like I got a good deal and they store my other set for me. I can't wait to put more miles on it in the next few day. One thing Bauer: the transmission is really stiff and downshifts hard. I have heard this loosens up after a good break in, do you find that to be true?

MP

[Bauer]

the transmission is really stiff and downshifts hard. I have heard this loosens up after a good break in, do you find that to be true? [B]

MP-

Yes, I have 10k on mine and I dont even notice it anymore. Took about 5000 miles for me not to notice it. Also I have found that this car is like fine wine it just gets better(and more power) with age. At about 7000 miles I noticed the motor pulling harder, seems that was about the point the motor really fully broke in. Have fun:cheers:

Hey everyone...I'm new here; just brought home my new RS6 about 3 weeks ago (just before Christmas). So far, I am delighted. I love the car! It's Daytona Gray with black interior and all the options (I just had to have the enhanced exhaust..love to hear her gurgle!).

Quick question in case anyone might have any feedback. I was told by my dealer here in NYC that Audi actually sent 1,106 RS6s here to the US this year. Does anyone know how they've sold, or are selling? I see there are a handful for sale on Ebay.

Also, the best review I've read is the one in MotorTrend in which they ran the RS6 head-to-head with the E55, and the tester found the RS6 to be the superior vehicle. He claimed the RS6 did 0-60 in 4.3, which is faster than Audi represents, as well as what other on-line reviews have said. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is 4.3 about accurate?

Thanks!

[nyrs6]

first the number is probably right in ny there are alot of dealers palisades,town, paul miller etc. they all have about 4 left or more now they are giving off msrp so that they can sell them so thats true

as far as the performance numbers motortrend is uasually acurate also car&driver did a test and got 4.4 to 60 so i would say its acurate and the manufacter usally writes a little less car and driver tested it against BMW M5, Jaguar S-Type R, and E55 AMG the RS6 got first place

[JA]

Thanks nyrs6 -- do you have any sense for how well-received the RS6 has been nationally? In other words, has it been successful, or did it not sell as well as expected? Thanks.

[Bauer]

JA-

Welcome to the board.....as for the numbers few, if any of us have been able to hit those times. Remember though that the mag guys do this for a living and have the proper equipment. If you go out and try and hit those numbers....I doubt you will.....I hope you do....but doubt it. :cheers:

For the issue of how well the car sold. I think what happen was people thought the car was going to be around 65K to 70K so the waiting lists got loaded up. Then the pricing came out at the base of 82K, 89K fully loaded....waiting list got smaller. Then here in CA the stealers got together and decieded to throw on an extra 10k bonus for themselves. So needless to say the list got WAY smaller. The list got so smaller, so quickly here in CA that the 10K went away with some stealers real quick. But by then the damage was done...and they had to try and convince the customer to come back. AoA and the dealers thought it was the year 2000 or something.

So now there some dealers that have 2 or 3 still on the lot. I have found that some blew right through their alotment and were begging for more cars and others had extra. There are 90 or so going to Canada that they could not sell here. Who knows what the final # was. I think the values will settle out in the next 6 to 12 months since you cant get any more.:cheers:

Hi everyone - I was wondering if any of our somewhat local beastowners (NY, NJ, CT, PA) might have any thoughts or suggestions on a place where I can bring mine and let 'er rip. I'm in Manhattan and always looking for a good day or overnight trip.

Many thanks in advance!

:race:

[Dark Knight]

Picked her up last Saturday. And lovin' it!!!!!

[Dark Knight]

JA -

Just saw your post asking where you can let her rip. I'm in PA and used to race bikes, before I got on the track we used to take the bikes up around the Delaware Water Gap which is actually in North Jersey (watch out still for the troopers). That's twisty stuff. For straight line speed the NE Extension running out the Philly area up to the Pocono Mountains is good, you can then drive around the mountain areas, have lunch, see some nice sights plus there are outlet stores everywhere so you can make a weekend of it.

The fastest piece of open safe'ish road I know is in South Jersey, it's a hike for you and there's nothing else going on around there (I mean come on, it's Jersey!!) so I doubt it's worth the trip for you unfortunately. Anway it's very smooth with a long line of sight, we used to get some of the track bikes, which shouldn't have actually been on the street(!), up to 185+mph there.

After all my experiences with bikes, I'd say invest the time and money and go to the track where you can really take the car to the limit -- and often beyond!! Good luck and keep the shiny side up!!

[Bauer]

Dark Night-

Welcome! and awsome color...I didn't think I would like the goodwood until on saw it on the car. Striking color!. Enjoy :cheers:

I picked up my Daytona Gray RS6 on Saturday the 17th. Only managed 220 miles and am enjoying the "breaking in". My other car is a 2002 Maserati Spyder. My wife said "we needed a sedan and no more sports cars". How did I do? (I think I may have pulled a fast one on her!)

I think it's time for another tally/pie chart(s) on the RS6s out there...I just need to find some time. :rolleyes:

P.S I think the 2002 Maser's had the boomerang rear lights, if I'm not mistaken, they were beautiful while they lasted.

That is one nice looking RS6. I really like that color. Is that the snow tire setup in the first few pictures and the other tires in the last?

That is correct. The first pictures are shown with the Dunlop Wintersport M3's and the last picture are the stock Pirelli PZero's.

I only counted those users that clearly expressed they own an RS6, I would say there are approx 5 users on the thread that I couldn't determine if they were owners or not.

Here you go . . .

[Erik]

Thanks a lot!

You can add RS6-Thomas who has an RS6 Avant Misano Red.
He doesn't have the time to write here though but sends me some interesting stuff. I'll be posting his new custom made interior soon.

rzamora (Florida) has a black(?) saloon.

[gnomik007]

Is that avant with 20" wheels lowered or just seems to be because of the huge wheels?

The car does look very nice:0:

I hadn't really seen an Avus Silver in person until yesterday and I was plesantly surprised on how good it looked on the car.

I've always thought the A6 did not look as good in silver as the A4 does..

[App]

After a year deliberating I took the plunge this week. This car is everything I expected and more! It's a beast and it growls!

[Bauer]

App,

Welcome to the board....love the Avus, almost got that color.

Hi! I am a new member here and I've had my Daytona Grey RS6 Avant for a few weeks. I'm based in Sweden.

Just like I raced my RS4 I plan to race my new beast as well at Nürburgring.
If you can help with what tires to get for the ultimate performance as well as brake pads (Pagid?) I'd ve very happy.

The car was debadged when I bought it, but I re-badged it since I really like the red color in the logo on the Daytona Grey.

Here are the pictures Erik took of my car last week.

Congrats George!

Save your seating and mirror settings, then it *should* now function, that it now knows which setting to return to.

[nyrs6]

am i wrong or drilled discs came standard in the US.

[GoFastKindaGuy]

Turn your adjustment selector knob to the right mirror (rather than centered) and it should go down when you engage reverse.

Drilled rotors were standard on later US cars. Earlier ones came without.

[sturs6]

George,
Congratulations my friend. I sure wish you could bring to Shelby/Charlotte next time you are in town so we could meet up. Oh well… I know you are going to enjoy it. I can not wait to see pictures.

[gmbh6]

Does anyone dare take on the task of cataloging the RS6's with location? :MTM:

[gjg]

Save your seating and mirror settings, then it *should* now function, that it now knows which setting to return to.

well, this I tried first because that's the same way all my S cars worked, but no go. Couple calls to the dealer - result being "Recaro seats have no memory option so the right side mirror will not tilt down with reverse gear ...."

I will follow up with them on Monday.

gg

[Bauer]

AAH HA! Finally, we got something on the Recaro's....thats right...we got memory for the seats:dance:









Still would rather have the Recaro's though:hihi:

[gjg]

well, you can't have it all in one package - if that happened most of Audi customers would have heart attack......

[half-sick]

I picked up a new, and blue, RS6 on Saturday. Very happy.

[UrQ]

Congrats, I also just got mine also on Sat. has a build date of October and has been at dealer since Jan.

Congrats on your new RS6s! Wait'll you get past the 1,000 mile break-in mark - it's like a different car.

Question: How do I find out the "build date" on my car?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Just purchased a previously owned RS6 and new to the board.

Daytona Grey, black interior, sound exhaust and nav.

Very happy boy now! :rs6kiss:

[Bauer]

Bruce-

Welcome to the board!!!! I trust you will be driving your RS6 to its fullist:MTM:

Enjoy:cheers:

[UrQ]

Was this a private sale or from a dealer ?

[bruce]

URQ

Kinda both. I got it from a guy who had an audi lease that was not assumable. I found him and worked through the dealership for the paperwork and certification to 100k. Everything was negotiated privately but the sale technically was from the dealer.
Odd, but made me real happy :rs6kiss:

Bauer

I have only put about 1k miles on it and only gotten up to 115, so I guess I'm really still in training wheels.....:incar:

Bruce,

Quite a few RS 6's in the Bay area. Where in Silicon Valley? Have fun with the car. I just passed 10K and have enjoyed everyone of those miles!

thanks erik

[bilbozilla]

UrQ - did you get yours at Beasley's in Austin? You may very well have got the one that I had ordered but didn't take delivery. I had to back out of my order in Austin, (kind of an A-hole move on my behalf). My local dealer changed sales managers and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm glad you're happy with your car. Enjoy!
