    RS6 vs. skiers in Top Gear ?!

    Elsewhere, we've tackled rural issues such as the fox hunting ban and fascist ramblers. With the ingenious use of cars, we go to war, literally, with a German version of Top Gear (which incidentally means Sabine is back) and there's a very exciting shootout with the RS6 against the most suicidal of skiers.

    Ok, 37 views and no one who is excited enough to say something?
    What about: no Stig-family in the RS6 like said before on this forum!?

    " The last time we did one was a couple of years ago, with the plane against the Veyron, and in hindsight we lost the plot in that one - too pompous, too overblown and preposterous, too much work on the scripting to make it funny. This one is back to basics, more hardcore, mega car, mega opponent, with a solid premise. And a clue for the geeks: we did it in Japan. "

    Ok, here you go. I'm guessing this will be the feature on GTR!

    With the RS4 they did a simular sort of thing JC racing some climbers up a mountain.

    This time it might be the other way (=down the mountain) with downhill skiing vs. Audi v10

    I do wonder if they're recording the S11 in HD as rumoured.... that would be cool.

    I don't care if the RS6 wins against the skiers. I just want to see it in extreme action. No better place then the snow, right!

    Top Gear isn't going to place th RS6 on their laptimelist I guess but where would it be if they did? I reckon between 1.30. ... Or am I completely off track (off track: how fitting here)

    Hmmm, would be quicker than that. The B7 RS4 got a 1:25.2 IIRC, so the C6 RS6 should be good for a 1:27 ish I should think. The hefty weight of the car being an obvious disadvantage...

    When is not really sure when it will run on BBC2. First topgearmagazine.nl said 22 juni. (http://www.topgearmagazine.nl/optv/) But as it apears it wil be later... when we look at other sources. Top Gear - Germany means Top Gear vs D-motor (Sabine Smithz,...) I guess.

    Yeh, but you have to take into account what type of track the Top Gear circuit is. Would you expect the CLS55 AMG or the Z4 M to beat the CSL? I wouldn't. A 1:27-28s is more than feasible for the new RS6.

    With regards to the times guys, they are on the Top Gear website. And the 996 Turbo's time was produced in v.heavy rain. The website should really note if the times were set in the dry or in the wet...and also by which of the Stigs!
