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

:bigeyes: Probably they are testing the new RS6 Plus?Originally Posted by jimmy94507
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.
Search and you will find the truth.
No DSG bummer. So is the transmission the R-tronic? So what car gets DSG?
New article about the new RS6 in german AutoZeitung...
520hp with the S6 V10 Engine. No twin turbo...
But the looking is beautiful!
I have feeling that 520 hp N/A is just what we are getting...
Those 580+ turbo hps are to good to be true in this moment...
I hope i'm wrong...
What did i tell you all.
NA 500+ hp.
Hans.
My local audi mechanic said he had been informed they could not squeeze in the twin turbos. Time will tell.
Hey, NA is just fine...less to break/wear out.....
So TRANSLATE that German article....what did they do to get the extra HP?
Mike
Just increase of revs.
S6 = 5.2 V10 FSI 435 hp by 6800 rpm.
S8 = 5.2 V10 FSI 450 hp by 7000 rpm.
RS6 = 5.2 V10 FSI 512 hp by 8000 rpm.
Gallardo = 5.0 V10 520 hp by 8000 rpm.
Hans.
The horse power figures are ok, I'm just worried about the torque. The RS6 is gonna weigh more than the E55 and M5.
All over again...
MB and BMW fighting, Audi watching...
W H Y ???
Higher revs for HP number does not mean a thing for Accel and Daily drive, if they simply upped the REVs to make the HP number higher, I doubt much of a change in performance.
There must be some more beef in the lower power band.
Mike
ive heard rumours about them also using the 6.0 V12 diesel in one version ??
anyone shed some light on this ?
Dear Friends,
nothing to worry about. You will get what you expect, the new RS6 will differ a lot from the S6, as well as the M5 for example. There are a lot of surprises for 2007.
The engine rumored in this article is under development but not as stated.
As far as the word Diesel goes, the first "sportier" Versions are coming.

If the next gen RS6 is a N/A motor, they can keep it. Sorry I dont care for them, I need the snails so more power can be extracted from them. 520hp just from and RPM increase ???? I dont think so but you never know.
Good luck Audi but you aint getting me back with THAT RS6, on a different note I did see a S8 on the hyway and must say it looked GREAT.
