Official: RS6 Avant 580 hp 5.2 V10 TFSI.

[chewym]

Only .5 liter more thirsty than S6, and 1.1 liters better per 100 km than the M5 touring.

[Leadfoot]

The price roughly works out at £70K+ so I reckon when the UK spec is added the price will ed up at £73K. Not a cheap car regards of the performance.

Leadfoot,

why the acc. times are not that superior?
0-200 @ 14.9 is not that great having so much HP and Torque!!!!

Just at the level of its competitors. Weight? Or specially underpowered as 335i?

[Leadfoot]

Night guys, I'm signing off. No doubt the thread will have reached No100 by morning.

Audi says 4.6 for 0-100 for the R8. Audi says 4.3 for 0-60. Us mags get 3.9 and 4.0 with 4.3 at the worst. I still say it will do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds (the sedan is more likely to support my figures, but the Avant could be a couple of tenths of)

No Saloon for now.
So we have to wait for the next year before Saloon arrives (if it arrives at all - no confirmation)

Wow, nice. Cant wait to see it in real. But hey...AMS writes that its limited at 250km/h

[LU-RS6]

[jonas21]

They are integrated in the headlights, to create more air intake

nope. audi says 4.4 to 60 for the USA for the R8. i think we should wait till official audi figures for this beast. this beast may not be terribly faster than the old until over 60 mph. even with the quattro driveline loss, this car will be faster than the new M5 estate. it'll be close with the E63 estate given that car's high torque level and lack of AWD. but it sounds like the RS6 will hand the E63 its a$$ in the handling department.

no doubt about it, the RS6 will be the most desirable of all these. shite. just look at it!

Still shows that Audi gives a very big cushion with its high performance cars when quoting acceleration figures.

[nyc123]

when will we have an idea on when the rs6 sedan will be available in the US

0-200 is quoted @ 14.9 sec
It means it wouldn't be significantly faster / slower than M5 / E63.

[AndyBG]

IT IS FINALY HERE !!!

IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, IT IS FANTASTIC, I LOVE IT !!!

That would be same as C6 S6... I just have hard time finding them in the headlights...

I never saw one with fog lamps on...

[DetailersDomain]

I now know what my next car will be...

[chewym]

no info on the sedan yet/or the us consequently

I have learned a long time ago to not put any trust in the "official" figures quoted by German manufacturers.
They all,with no exception,always provide extremely conservative numbers,especially for acceleration and they are always bettered in independent tests.
