I sighted a fake RS6 Saloon today outside the Audi Forum in Stockholm.

Apparently it is the ex-managing director who owns it.
It had twin exhaust just like the quattros (but not oval).
Not sure what engine it had inside but it was a manual anyway. :hihi:

Looked just like this except it was silver so I guess we can say the RS6 spoiler fits.

A manual?!? That means it couldn't be a 4.2 or S6 either, and that in turn leads me to believe he actually went to the trouble of changing the fenders (in addition to the obvious RS6-parts) - he must have spent a lot of money on it :deal:
Anyway, if the dual exhaust is a true dual exhaust it is at least a quattro :)

Ooops - I thought the S6 only came with tiptronic.... there can't be many S6's with manual around, can it?

Don't know the production figures, but if you check from mobile.de , there are quite many.

The S6 only had tiptronic in some markets (UK? USA?) but there are second hand manuals in Sweden as well.

Not 100 % sure, but I guess manual was sold only in European markets, others wouldn't bother.:)

2001 was last model year for manual, for 2002 it was discontinued and therefore all 2002 S6's should have tiptronic.
