Ben916, the VIN number is 900284, and to all the rest, I hope you can see the pics I tried to post.

I will take your VIN number but from the information that I have, 904xxx and 905xxx are US RS6 VIN's. The other curve ball VIN I have had lately in North America was Palette's...

Super nice!

I bet that is an uber-rare car for Mexico!

So I take it you battery is under the floor and the spare resides above in the RS 6 bag?

**DHall1** · January 28th, 2011, 22:37

Someone please tell me who we have to thank for the battery in the trunk, stupid A6 sport seats and no RNSE?

Please help.

It seems this Mexico RS6 is mostly euro spec with the Recaro seats, RNSE and battery in the spare tire well.

Brilliant.

LUCKY Son of a B*#@H!

**speedtrapped** · January 28th, 2011, 23:55

Drool for those seats.........

**Elevens** · January 29th, 2011, 00:19

I'm Jealous. I want those seats.......

**skribe** · January 29th, 2011, 23:43

Jimmy I might be in your ciudad feb 8th for business, over in sante fe. Would love to check out your car if you're anywhere near there...

**Jimmy Joe** · January 30th, 2011, 02:30

Love to, Skribe, let me know a couple of days in advance so we can set up a meeting at your convenience.

**Jimmy Joe** · January 30th, 2011, 02:52

JRS6. !You`re damm right¡ I tried to post pictures of the wheel well on the trunk where the battery and the tools reside, it`s pretty neat. but they didn`t sick. I`l keep on trying. BTW, this seats hold you so nicely that you don`t move al all when driving fast. I didn`t realize USA cars had A6 seats. World of difference!.

**Jimmy Joe** · January 30th, 2011, 17:55

Finally I was able to load up the pictures of the trunk. I also found out that the engine mods are by GIAC. No tellin`what those are .I`ll keep on searching. tell me what you think.

**hahnmgh63** · January 30th, 2011, 18:06

Yea, that is the Euro battery set-up. The rest of N. America received a trunk mounted battery but it was above the spare tire well in the front right side of the trunk.
