Official: RS6 Avant 580 hp 5.2 V10 TFSI.

Wow !! The new Audi C6 RS6 is completely awesome !!!!

[Sanjuro]

Engine is amazing
Brakes are sensational
Body is awesome: kind of subtle but also brutal - love the Ur-quattro-esque guards
But the Interior - they've done nearly nothing from the S6 except change the steering wheel - which is ok, but they changed the facia around the screen and instruments to a Piano finish - that little change there makes the whole A6 Dash seem amazingly fresh - I have never liked the plastic it had before but that finish is just a sensation.

one more blue one ordered...

[Rally]

I'll take one in Phantom Black for the US please!

The V10 is indeed a 5.0. Go to Audi Worldwide, models, A6 and click RS6 on bottom right. In the short movie there are new RS6 shots. And it does have DRC as promised.

This is a great day!

I created RS6.com just before the first RS6 was launched and I hope and think it has been the best international website for the RS6 and other high performance Audis.

I very much look forward to seeing the car in person on the 11:th at IAA in Frankfurt. The car certainly looks to be "IT."

The Beast is alive!

[Ruergard]

I'm totally lost for words... completely! Look at the wheel arches!! Look at the brakes, the seats.. everything!! Not to forget the enginebay OH MY GOD!

Leadfoot have been right all the way, and we're not disappointed with what we see! Can't wait to see some performancefigures.. though I think that teh 0-200 km/h time is a little bit conservative..

This totally made my day!

The Beast is back!

[skiwi]

fantastic. well done audi. you've followed tradition in some of the styling, and yet the car is thoroughly modern and powerful.

[RS6Driver]

It's still a 5.0... not 5.2.

[Erik]

Torque 650 Nm between 1500-6250 rpm, that's insane.

That's more than the M5 has anywhere in the power range.

[ZeroCool]

i'm looking forward to see first tests....with M5, E63 ... and so on and so on

Because this car is really a cruise-missile...
i like it...no sorry, i love it!!!

Really good job AUDI!! *thumbs up*

p.s. the ceramic brakes have an diameter of 420mm (!!!) at the front and 365mm at the rear - as i can remember...great!!!

[tazsura]

I like the Ur-Quattro style fenders.
And i like the RS6 Avant only idea.
In the past the RS2 was only as avant availeble.

Hans.

Agree 100%!!!!

Wow, speechless

I have been in connect with my good friend.

And I can assure everyone that all of the reported acceleration figures are indeed conservative. The limited topspeed of 250km/h is there but for a small price will be removed because the car has been design to travel much more quickly than this.

Believe me when I say everyone including the competition will bowled over by this ring time.

[Arslanoff]

I cant find any new shots, only 1:

331 g/km is huge! I don't beleive in 13,9 l/100km, as well as I don't beleive in performance figures, it should be more like 4,4 sec - 0-100 km, but weight is 2025 kg also

Take a close look at the torque figures that ZeroCool posted and than stop and think about them.

The RS6 not only out punches them but also extends it's peak limit to more than either of them. In fact can anyone name me a single production turbo engine of any size that can hold it torque to such a high level. Audi amazed us with the RS4's N/A engine, now they will totally blow us away with this, surely a Engine of the Year award is done deal.
