    That's an RS6 - right? No S6 as you wrote...

    It looks good on it, and it looks like it wants to drive FAST
    Get out and drive

    I wasn't sure, so I wrote S6 instead of RS6.

    This is very very hard on the chassis !
    And not a good idea for such a car without a roll cage...

    Slicks do not work well on a street stiff suspension set up. They are made for extremely stiff racing suspensions. ie solid bushings and monoballs, and very stiff springs and dampers. Also 4 - 6 degrees of camber are needed for most slicks. Not attainable with stock RS6 parts.

    Never mind the Slicks - what are those chrome rings on the bonnet - are they induction inlets, cup holders for your coffee or is this the first triple badged 6 in existence?

    It looks fast WITHOUT the slicks...

    The "rings" on the hood look goofy, for lack of a better word. It reminds me of some of the "tree huggers" in the USA that plaster their 1980 Toyota Tercel with 200 bumber stickers...

    Spacers?

    Are these wheels mounted with spacers against the hub? The look to set the track about 2 inches wider that stock?
    Could they be wide Audi rims?

    What size are the Slicks - they look wide on the standard wheel?

    Instead of the rings on the hood, I would go with vents in about the same place, like the Speed GT Audi's.

    for those saying that rs6 shouldnt have the slicks on...by some minor deductive reasoning (the hollowed out fog lights for brake cooling and extremely low suspension setup) I wouldnt be suprised if that was modefied in the ways neccessary to warrent the slicks...
    I hate inertia...
