World, hold on.... IT'S COMING !!!
:addict:
I'm not buyin it. This is an S6 with a buncha mods.. Its just too ordinary to be the new RS6. Hell, the RS4 looks sportier..
Jury is still out..
RS6 avant is big... the car is beautiful and my be more fast
yea - dont worry about how it looks yet... Although that's pretty imposing already. Wait til they've finished with the arches...
Come on!
Thats not how it will look when it comes out! Offcourse they want it to look like a S6 when theyre testing it. Wait until Geneva 2007 and we'll hopefully see a real beast! Atleast I think so! :D
As m3fan wrote, I cant wait to see how much torque that enginge will put out! :jlol:
sweet.... i just can wait for geneve 07
RS6 :vhmmm: looks more like a MTM S6 Supercharger with those bonnet vents. ;)
Hans.
ditto. you beat me to it iceman.
Don't be silly. Many companies test new engines and suspensions with the previous car's shell. Nissan tested the GTR with a G35 shell, Audi tested the RS4 with and S4/A4 body and finally we all know that the RS cars receive their own design cues that differentiate them from regular and S models. Keep your checkbook open.
If it is a v10 with two turbos audi will be a serious player. E55, M5, won't even stack up against that. The mercedes 65's would be the only cars with enough power to challenge.
If they do make a twin turbo v10, I will give the audi board oral to convince them to put that motor in the R8. Not that I want to, but I am a true enthusiast.
What figures are we expecting...?
520 - 550 hp ?
700 - 900 nm ?
I think in the middle: 600hp and 800nm, maybe 650hp but sure that it won't be more, I'm afraid they will give it "only" ~550 hp, of course it would be a very powerful engine, but not enough for a car like this.
I mean it will weight minimum 1800kgs -> needs ~600hp to reach 100kmh in 4 seconds.
Make it lighter and stop with these insane horsepower wars!
Can't wait to see the Modified ones.....700 hp....More? YIKES....

(Hope the transmission is up to the task of moding....)
bahh 550 hp 1750 kgs 4 sec for 100 km/h
The big problem is the weight
I completely agree all of you who say to stop horsepower war and make lighter cars, but i don't see any chances to built a 1600-1700kg weighted RS6 soon.
Although Audi might could done it because they could do a Le Mans Quattro with V10TT engine and 1500kg, but look at real things->R8 is the same body with a much lighter engine (V8 N/A) and weights the same!!
I agree with you guys, but todays buyers of these cars want luxury and luxury = weight, so...
Horsepower war continues...
Dear Friends,
no RS6 Mule there. The plates do not belong to Audi.
MTM...
Release: IAA 2007.
Testing trim-kit for the S6?!
Told ya!:D
thanks for posting. i heard the same too......
You guys are just amazing, so fast to call it out. I have heard that we will not see a new RS6 until 2008 at the earliest. In addition, if you remember the last S6, RS6 mules, they had all sorts of hand laid fiberglass and non factory wheels (like special bbs wheels with custom offsets). Audi would use some part of the present series, but needs to assess the handling and weight, which usually means a modified track as well as suspension. In addition, just bumping up the power of the engine would not make an RS car. I figure we will see mules caught at the ring next spring/summer. The S6 cars are just trickling in. I received my S6 almost 19 months before the RS6 came out, and I expect that it will be closer to fall 2008 before we ever see one on this soil.

I am still convinced that IAA 2007 Frankfurt is place and time where new RS 6 is going to reveled to a public, we will see.
It's going to be sick regardless! Great car
550 horse power sound kinda low if you had torque in the low 400's. If the torque hits the 500 mark, then 550 horse power is plenty.
Heard at Laguna Seca ALMS weekend.
Test mules running at over 700hp, around 770hp
Production probably at 580hp, no DSG
Only automatic transmission - very strong, very quick changes
Fall of 2008

They specifically stated the "new RS6". Nothing said about RS6 Plus.
The only reason for Audi to be testing a 700hp+ test mule of the next RS6 would be to see the durability of the transmission etc. We all know Audi won't ever produce a RS6 with this amount of power but as other tuner will up the power they may want to make sure the parts can stand up to the job. Lets face it, the M5/6 transmissions have broke on a number of occasions. One question, who's gearbox are they using, ZF or an auto from Mercedes.
