New RS6 Owner

**M5 Eater** · April 10th, 2009, 15:39

Hello All,
I just purchased an 03 RS6. It's in a unique color that I haven't seen. It looks grey at night but in the light it is Dark Basalt.

I look forward to chatting and contributing to this Forum. I'm now a Proud Beast owner!!!

Congratulations and welcome aboard!

Interesting colour, I like it!

Find the color code, I definitely need to add that one to the VIN list. Looks like that Cherry color some have had, first I've seen on RS though.

more pics please

**DuckWingDuck** · April 11th, 2009, 20:53

it's very similar to the 'root beer' colour on that vantage that I was looking at. It looks tremendous.

Congrats and welcome, Nice color.
What is the lineage? Whos was it before?

**M5 Eater** · April 13th, 2009, 14:22

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. >>

Those are Conti Extremecontacts on there. They seem to work great. >>

I will find the color code and let you know what it is. >>

The previous owner was an older gentleman who was getting a divorce and didn’t want the Ex to get her hands on it so he sold it to me. >>

I will send more pics when the weather starts to cooperate again and I can pull it outside and get some more.>>

ahhh yes...this one has popped up before...you may have the only one in the US...its a black cherry more often seen on A8s but special ordered for your car. I think you are 1 of 1.

Yeah, we have seen this one before. Claim is that this is 1/1 in North America and I believe it! Nice color and welcome to the club.

Change out those crappy Contis for some PS2 tires and you will notice a huge difference.

My friend who got me hooked on Audi has a C5 A6 2.7T highly modified and his A6 is this color as well.

Bought mine last month and it arrived 2 weeks ago.

Just took it in for the recall on the DRC and get the once over treatment. I should be getting the car back this Thursday.

Congrats on the purchase.

They said they are going to replace all four corner with the upgraded system per recall from Audi. The dealer that is performing the repair is Audi of Rochester Hills, Mi.
