Whilst I am not usually a massive fan of newer Audi's I think your car is excellent! It's really discreet and subtle and has an insane amount of power. Do you know what the top speed is?

Same here, I'm not a massive fan of new Audi's eithier but this is one of the exceptions. It did 196MPH at Vmax Overboost but the runway had been shortened for a car auction that day, and I believe that was at 711BHP, I'll be heading to Vmax soon so we shall see.

Not a huge Audi fan but these are something else. The saloons look best, and IMO those wheels are nicer than the other chunky ones I've seen them on.


Awesome. and awesome power.

Overused word but I think it applies here: EPIC! What a mentally overpowered car, in a very, very good way.

Excellent! I'd love to overhear a conversation between a cocky diesel Sportline company car driver and an owner of one of these;

'Ya ya, it's the 170bhp version, so like nothing can touch it! What do you drive?'

'Oh I drive an Audi also.'

'Ya, 140bhp SE right?'

'Erm, well no actually. 757bhp RS6.'

Game over

Love these, heard one in London yesterday and very jealous of yours! At least the original owner took the original depreciation hit

I found a blurry dyno graph of the car from a month back for anyone interested, and remember, the brake discs are £4.5k each, so £9k plus VAT and that’s without pads or labour. Audi reckon they can last up to 200k miles, let’s see.
wtf...over 10k plus VAT and labour for front brakes??? eek

Although I've heard carbon ceramics are brilliant especially for track so I guess they are worth it. What about the rear brakes? Are those normal discs?
Do you need special pads for the fronts?

Pre cats have been taken off, and it still passed it's first MOT. It was at Audi too, so no 'friendly' MOT man. The main cats are still in place. MRC had a customer send an RS6 V10 from Taiwan, they sent it back with 860BHP, a bit too much for me however.
I can understand that - 757BHP should 'just' about be enough then!!

How does it drive then? The engine in these are a true powerhouse. Does it feel factory but with a bit more urgency?

I assume it is not so highly strung being a V10 twin turbo.

Get some more pictures up too smile

The other video of one beating a big bike puts the power in perspective.
Ace. Love it!

Oh my!

For once my 507bhp feels positively inadequate. I think the search for my next car has ended before it even began.
