    HKS786,

    could you ask your source about QTV in RS6?
    That's a real question for you!

    What does the press map say about the engine volume.
    I say it's a 5.0 V10 TFSI and NOT a 5.2 litre.

    We already established that it's a 5002 cc V10 TT back in May?

    I know but why are almost all the car media saying it's a 5.2 litre, are they stupit or have they all dyslexia.

    btw, what has changed, the bore or the stroke to make it a 5002cc.
    And what is the reason to lower the volume.

    Hans.

    WOW! I think they really have done it this time, 4wheel drive, Automatic gearbox, releasing the RS model BEFORE they anounce a new model, and an unbelievable amount of power. It real think they have done it this time...

    The numbers seem a bit conservative for the amount of power and 4wheel drive?!

    I really miss the 4wheel drive in my car...

    Most media are idiots. Read the official documents instead of listening to children posting false information.

    'Als erstes Fahrzeug weltweit hat er einen kraftvollen 5,0-Liter-V10-Biturbo-Ottomotor mit Benzindirekteinspritzung FSI®. Mächtige 580 PS (426 kW) verbergen sich unter seiner eleganten Motorhaube - und warten nur auf Ihr Kommando.'

    The RS6 'box is essentially a veyron unit without the 2nd "clutch" and fancy casing. Also, the gears in the veyron box are made of CF and titanium whilst the RS6 has steel and tungsten"
    interesting - the d2 w12 was not a 6-speed but the 5-speed unit. could be the d3 he is talking about i guess. i didn't think that the veyron was an auto box, but then i haven't seen much information onit at all....

    but it could explain the comments on "fast acting"' with <100ms shifts

    Here are a few HQ (1920x1200) pics of the RS6. Image 9 is suitable for wallpaper usage!

    People, it's very important to know about QTV.
    It will be a great dissapointment if it doesn't get it...
    For such heavy car, QTV is badly needed to maintain good corenring abilities... 2025 kg is the same weight that some SUVs already have!

    NO QTV.

    And why is it important? Did you drive new Honda Legend? That system sucks big time IMHO. For me current quattro AWD(40/60) any time over Honda's QTV...

    You compare Quattro and SH-AWD - not comparable!
    I am sure that two similar cars with Quattro2 and Quattro3 will have serious difference in cornering abilities and a result - time at NF will be significantly faster.
    RS6 weighs a lot and without QTV and it will be like a "truck".
    My dealer tells me that if without QTV RS4 is more precise in handling and cornering than RS6!

    Well whats the deal with QTV? I personally dont need it. Additionally i dont want to purchase a 100.000+ car and be the beta tester for QTV on high performance Audis. They should test it in "normal" cars first. (remember DRC?...)

    I'm just waiting for laptimes on the beast. I'm with you, I think this beast will corner very fast...

    Mine is 400 lbs lighter (curb weight 4024 lbs). But with our 'factory re-adjusted' DRC ride i'm sure the new one with a 3 stage ride setting will out do it as well as the 60/40 split.. But the telling tale is that with the extra weight plus 130 extra hp and the additional torque, its no faster to 60 mph than ours. In fact, I cant see where it will out do the current M5/M6. Its slower to 60 and will not be able to out corner the BMWs. This I dont understand.. One would think they would have made sure that it was the #1 performer. We'll see..
