US RS6 Spec Sheet

[jconley]

See attached. PDF format. Please note it says 18 inch wheels, and nothing about 19s. Do you think this means no 19s in the US?


No pricing yet, though.

I am sorry to say that by the looks of that pdf your fear might be true.
However don't let the pdf ruin your life before you know for a fact.

The 19" option in EU is called:

Aluminium cast wheels in 5-arm design, size 9 x 19 with tyres 255 / 35R 19.

[jconley]

I won't I have only seen one RS6 here in the US (an Audi of America car @ a American Lemans Race). It has 18s, and it proved to me that this car NEEDS 19s. Well, if it doesn't come with them I am sure I can get them somewhere.

BTW- Great site/forum!

will the Audi Nav System (7Q9) be the center TV screen one as Europe or just the directional indicators on the dash a la current Audi Navigation sold in the states?

Sorry I can't reply to your question but...

Navigation System - poor man's Navi

or Navigation System Plus
with 5" color monitor and map display.


I can recommend bying Pioneer's DVD Cyber-Navi (or Alpine).
Less expensive and superior performance.
I use it in my A6 and it rocks. The only disadvantage being it is
easier to steal the TV (but it can be removed like a handset).

I would guess it will be the directional one. Nav+ uses software (the euro version) is license exclusively in the US by Mercedes Benz, so Audi is blocked from bringing it, unless this is a special deal. I know, I want real navigation too!!

The 19" wheels are about 2.100 USD in EU as an option.

That is another 2.100 USD just to get the 19".

Price of the RS6 in Sweden is about 92.500 USD.

[jconley]

As an option on the car or just to buy?

Which one would you prefer? (not to scale)

[jconley]

On the right, 19s

[krm]

The 19" looks much more aggressive and matches the RS6's character better imo.
