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.Originally Posted by AndyBG
I mean it will weight minimum 1800kgs -> needs ~600hp to reach 100kmh in 4 seconds.
Sounds crazy, but I am afraid to that they will give it ''only'' 550 hp.
But, what can we do...
Remap it...
Too much of a leap to go 600bhp, 520ish my guess, they have to do a Plus, remember...
Then: RS4 Stage III 470bhp
Now: RS6+ Standard for now. EDIT: Make that 508bhp

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
It actually does, well at least my tranny does.

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!
That must be supercharged S6...
... !!! FREEEDEEERIIIC !!! ...
Where are you !!!
thanks for posting. i heard the same too......
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
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.

Speed, Speed, and more Spe... oops the minivan?
2003 RS6 Mugello Blue (gone/turned in)
2003 911tt Cobalt Blue (gone/traded in)
2004 Cayenne Turbo Titanium Gray
2005 Toyota Sienna (until Q7 in May 07)
2007 M6 Saphire Black (loving it)
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.
