How's about this being the new S5 with 3.0 T V6?

I'm also puzzled! 5.9 to 100kph is the figure for the bog standard car. Does this mean the extra cost has no payback in terms of acceleration, or is it a typo?

The most annoying thing about the S Line is we can't get it the UK. I love those sill extensions, but I've had to order an ordinary sport model.

One of the spyshots of the 'chequerboard' pattern saloon, at the Ring, definitely looked like it had the squared-off arches. I think it was this shot that alerted people to the different shape.

The sprint blue RS4 is from 10 miles just up the road from me. Guy who owns it can be found on RS246.com

I can't see what's been facelifted, apart from the mirrors and the foglights.

My RS6 felt quicker than my S8 does, especially at speeds under 100 mph, but there's not a lot in it. Both have different acceleration characteristics, with the S8 needing a lot of revs before it...

Spotted this at Ingolstadt on Wednesday.

What really matters in snow is tyres. RWD is fine if the tyres are right. Saying that, I wouldn't go back to 2WD for a gold pig!

There's also a newbie on RS246 (FlyRS6), with a red avant who lives in Warrington. You could try him?

Yes there was. I owned both S6 and RS6 and the RS definitely had bigger arches.

I don't think you'll regret the move (I didn't). How's about giving us your thoughts about the difference between the two?

I hope the quality of the interior is better than it appears on these pictures. The plastic looks horrible.

Chap seems to like it! Bet they had to prise to keys off him at the end of the test.

Probably easier to keep clean than a dark colour like Daytona.
Saw an RS4 Avant, in this colour, in the Berlin forum last week and it looks even better in the flesh.

Hell of a paint job! They're obviously keen we don't comment about wheelarch extension!

I don't think I'll modify it at all, as I'm too mean to spend any more cash on it!

Saying that, if money was no object, a nicer exhaust note inside the car would be good. (Apparently it sounds...

Only miss my RS6 for a few really silly reasons:-
* D3 S8 is harder to reverse into my garage and too wide for local multi-storey car park. (Solution- park more carefully and shop elsewhere!)

Hi,
Welcome to the Daytona club. I'm beginning to wish I'd gone for the black interior now as keeeping the silver two-tone clean is taking time I'd rather be spending on other things.

My RS 6 gave very similar figures to Benman's, although I've seen 24 mpg on motorways and it used to do 14 round towns in heavy traffic. My S8 has seen a best of 23, but around towns in heavy...

None whatsoever!

Stealth looks and rarity value keeps the RS6 low profile. It caused far more attention in France and Belgium, especially from bikers for some reason, than it ever did in the UK! In a trip to Berlin...

I think the main reason the S6 doesn't get much attention on the various bulletin boards around the World, is due to its rarity value. I went from a Prodrive modded Imprezza to an A6 Quattro Sport,...

Tyre pressure monitor also much better than the RS6.

The 8 also has some cool interior lighting effects.
