This is what my S4 wants to be when it grows up.

Heres a pic of its older brother!!!...sold RS4 to get RS6!!!!

That's a truly awesome piece of kit. SO much power as well. Time to de-badge it and at least give yourself half a chance of hiding.

I like the RS4's wheels more the the RS6's, however nothing a set of HRE's can't resolve.

[ChrisRS6]

Was looking at changing wheels..BUT ive yet to see a C6 RS6 with a set of wheels that arent OEM that looks right???

The OEM wheels are huge...20" by 9.5" wide!!!!

I never knew there was a V10 version - looks a bit odd with 3 exhuasts but a great car none the less..

Hand you're licence in on the way out...and close the door.


Lovely thing OP. Ultimate traffic light Q car.

I'd hand your PH license in after he's handed in his driving license..

I can't even blame auto-correct can I?

Licence.

Couldn't resist correcting a corrector

Very nice, best colour too
Nearly bought one myself recently, but decided to wait and see B8 RS4 instead
Had a run in an MRC tuned 720ps ish version, the acceleration would literally tear a motorway slip road to pices, absolutely superb and really addictive performance

Lambo V10 ?!..... You'll find it was an Audi V10 from the get go

Are you sure? The Lamborghini logo is on some of the castings - You can see it with the front end rads removed. Unless you're just referring to the corporate ownership of Lambo?

Parking like an audi driver at least

Stunning car though

[pwduncan]

I've got one in the same colour. Absolute beast of a motor. The problem is deciding what to replace it with, I don't think anything else comes close.

Engine was designed and developed by Audi AG


iirc the RS6 engine isn't just a Gallardo engine with 2 turbos, it has a fair few changes so only partially related to the high revving 10 in the Gallardo.

There's a lambo logo on the alternator casting (I'm sure they left this on purpose as it's quite visible when you start pulling the engine out), and quite a few of the smaller engine internals are common too, but basically it's a very different version of the Lambo original.
Still, a bloody good engine and one of the best around for pure power and relatively easy modification for big, reliable gain

[Mikeyplum]

That is all.

[DB89]

I love these, very nice.

[BorkFactor]

That is utterly fantastic! I need one of those in my life, in blue please

[ChrisRS6]

Theres a few lambo "castings" on the engine i believe...either way its a Lambo V10 to me!!!!.....and goes like one too!!!

Thanks for the comments guys.....i really had the need for a petrol guzzling,carbon producing,expensive to run estate car in my life..before i get old and the goverment taxes us of the road for good.

Defo getting re map later in year when ive replenished the bank account...7oo plus bhp here i come!!!!

Only wish i could have got one with Ceramics....it eats brake pads and discs due to the intergalatic speeds you reach and its sheer weight...although i find the OEM steel discs ok for fast road work..i reckon you would easy shag a set on a track day no problem.

Build quality is typical Audi...solid..although not as good as my Old B7 RS4...A little more "creaky".

As expected full of toys...power close doors..TV..electric everything including seats..steering column..blinds..Thats why its so damn heavy!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to the petrol station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Terminator X]

I attended a 30-130 day in 2011 & a V10 RS6 had the highest top speed of the day, a GPS verified 186mph from memory. Stunning car in every way!

TX.

[ChrisRS6]

I can also verify that Audis 155mph limiter is broken!

Get yourself a couple of £k's worth of engine tuning, and it'll go significantly better than one !
What's not to like !

I was planning on waiting to see what the b8 rs4 avant was like before chopping in my B7, but I'm starting to feel a pull towards an RS6 next year instead and a few quid in my pocket for some power upgrades to it and a track toy for the garage For the £65k ish that a decent spec B8 could cost

[Dave Hedgehog]

stunning car

you dont drive A6s thou more sail them like a yacht
