Does anyone have Sport Auto 1/2003?

[Mr Janne]

Does anyone have this issue yet? I´ve heard that it contains a test between RS6, M5 and E55 and the RS6 get some impressive times. 0-100 km/h in 4,4 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 15,7.

It was not in the store today anyway, but perhaps in Germany?

4.4 secs sounds crazy! Must be the E55. :MTM:

Actually they list the RS6 with 4.4s, the E55 is listed with 4.6s

I am really surprised by the 0-100 in 4.4s for the RS6,i read many tests but i never see such a good number idem for the 0-200

Hummmm, I find this test results very strange. This reminds me the AMG amazing test results performed by Auto und motor sport. At time the AMG was much faster than the Porsche GT2 from 0-300Kph. Mercedes owners were proud of this and the sales of AMG 55SL went up fast. Later on, a group of Porsche owners, to clarify this situation, decided to test the 420Hp 996 Turbo and 500Hp AMG 55SLs from 0 to 200Kph. This time the 996 Turbo, that has 42 Hp less than the GT2, was faster than the AMG, so no way the previous AMG tested by Auto und motor sport could be a stock engine. The rumors was that Mercedes had played a dirty game, and sent to a super car test, a car that was not in stock specs. Later on, this same magazine made another test with a AMG 55SL and a 996 Turbo with the X50 option, which gives 30 more HP . Well this time the 450Hp 996 Turbo was faster than the 500Hp AMG, and was capable of making the same results has the Porsche GT2, that has 462Hp and weight much less than the 996 Turbo. Word was that, Porsche was following the dirty Mercedes game, and sent a modified car to this test. No way a 996 Turbo with les 12 Hp and much heavier could be as fast as a 996 GT2.

It seems that Audi is making the same dirty game, or the engine on this RS6 was really in good shape
Anyway it´s good to see such good performance

Comments please....

I agree J Seven the results ot this stock RS6 are better than the Sportec RS6 with 500 hp or SKN tuning with 510hp,it's really incredible:bigeyes: :bigeyes:

I think the answer is Temperature.
Turbo cars (to me, Audi suffer more than the others in this field) suffer from power loss due to heat. My car (moded RS2) did 17,6sec 0-200km/h at 6ºC and only managed 21,3sec at 32ºC. It’s a huge difference, with the same car, at the same place and just one week one after the other.
