Yes, still loving it. Been a few days since I've been out in it so I think I'll go for a spin tonight.

Any updates on this absolutely awesome car?

It's had a service, last one was 3.5k miles ago, but a good idea with this power, a wheel refurb, four new Goodyear Eagle F1's, new rear pads, new front ceramic discs.

Just going out to clean it now, it only manages 200ish miles a month as I have an company car I need to use everyday, but I am booked to take it to Le Mans next month!

Here's a pic from a few days ago.

Did Audi cover the the Discs under warranty. Or did they renegade.

Nope, I paid for the discs myself, they were worn, rather than faulty, so probably unfair to expect Audi to replace them really.

[V8Driver]

Worrying if so, not driven the car in a week, been in my company car. I took it for a very short journey late last night, but nowhere near Watford Gap...

[V8Driver]

Yeah, I couldn't make GTI International.

I did make it to Le Mans a few weeks ago, though.

I'm not sure really, I really fancy an E46 M3 CSL. In reality, though, I'll probably end up with a £5-9k E46 M3 and bank the rest of the money. I get a nice company car so am finding it harder and harder every day to justify having so much money tied up in the RS 6 (which did around 800 miles in the last 4/5 months, then 1,100 over Le Mans weekend), no immediate plans, but something I should really address this year, the only thing I'm fairly certain on is my next car will be an E46 M3.

[V8Driver]

I've got a couple of people that already want it! But I'll make sure I let you know if they don't work out. I didn't advertise my last RS 6, and doubt I'll have to advertise this one either!

Had the engine and box map tweaked by MRC today, and version two of their filters.

754PS, 1021NM @ 3823 RPM, it was 934NM at 5572 on the old map.

The difference is unbelievable, didn't believe it was possible to make it even faster, I'm having to re-calibrate my brain to cope with how much quicker it is approaching corners, you just gotta hold on to the steering so fricking hard for dear life when you have it on full throttle, absolutely pointless, but so savage.


Will do more PS and NM on a cooler day, but it had been on the dyno two hours being setup, and it was 28 degrees outside.

Standard turbos and intercoolers.

Pre-cat delete (still passes an MOT with Audi), Milltek, high flow filters and the stage two MRC remap.

I'm not expecting the gearbox to blow up, not heard of a single gearbox failure and quite a few are putting out over 1,000nm's now... If it goes, it goes, it's a risk you take when tuning a car I suppose and I'd just replace it, it's already had 50,000 miles at 960NM and doesn't miss a beat... Will probably get a box oil change at the next service.

can you get these to rev to 8k?

Ive been planning a twin turbo BMW V10 engine in my super car project (which is very light hence I need revs for power rather than torque) but I've been thinking Audi V10 may be a better proven unit at this power (I want 1000bhp).... be fantastic if i could just modify the RS6 unit to rev harder to make the power

There are 1,000BHP units around, they don't rev much higher, though, there's no need for them to.

Here's a graph of MRC's 1,055BHP tuned example.



I'm not sure what your super car will weigh, but my two ton RS 6 is almost too quick to comprehend on public roads, you don't approach a corner, or object, you've already gone way past it.

[V8Driver]

I don't think they are... There are twin turbo R8 V10's around, though... They will rev past 8kRPM I'm sure.
