RS6 Spotted

[one2have]

I spotted this gorgeous RS6 yesterday arvo (one of the world's quickestsports sedans) in Huntingwood. That's a twin-turbo V8 - 331kW, or so I thought. The owner claimed that he had a special edition RS6 (only 125made) with power in excess of 400kW. This would propel it to 100km/hr inunder 4 seconds. And no, he wouldn't let me drive it.

I've wanted an RS6 for a while. I'd have plates saying "RS6KY"

[MatsHolden]

The only special edition RS6 I can think of is the RS6 Plus, which has 353kw which is 480bhp. Maybe he was thinking of horespower instead of killowatts? Unless he had had it re-chipped. Anyway nice car! The ultimate sleeper.

I'd have this instead. Easier to park. Oh its the new RS4. Over 400 horses.
Also available in convertible for all you show-offs.
I think its time to add a *DROOL* symbol to the list of smilies!

Yeah you're right, I could only find info on the RS6 plus. But I'm pretty sure he said over 400kW though and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Older guy early 50's but was so excited about his car - like it was his first car or something!

I drove an S4 in Germany end 2004 - that was insane. Luuuuvv the sound of that engine!!!

[MatsHolden]

Yeh the Audi V8's are oh so sweet. So refined and that note is heaven to the ears.

[ROCCO]

You want nice power with M3 sound go out and buy a R32 VW Golf....now thats a nice freaking car its a Straight 6 in a Golf shell...not the standard 4 cylinder jobs that are in teh golf so massiv epower gains right there

YES The r32 Golf sounds like an awesome machine

[bill142]

[InsaneAsylum]

When I win lotto (wink, wink) this is what I'll be spending $180k on. The RS4 is THE biz

[Wraith]

It certainly is a V6 - like to see em fit a straight 6 in a Golf, they'd have to make the car half a meter wider or longitudinally mounted you'd have half the engine in the cabin next to you LOL ....

As for 180k's worth of car - I'd have an M3 convertible over any Audi anyday.

The new E90 M3 is gonna really rock............

I second that, M3s over any Audi, the new BMW 3 series Coupe comes out soon topping off with a 335i twin turbo 6 until the V8 M3 comes out! Ohhhhhhh cant wait for a test drive !! :D

[simonali]
