Very cool

Nogaro is a Pearl Effect colour.

I always thought the RS2 came in RS Blau, not Nogaro?

When RS2 was introduced, there was no such a thing called RS Blue yet. RS2 definitely came with Nogaro Blue.

Hmmmm. - I like, but seems a downgrade to have a sub-200mph estate.........

Must be the "tuition-free university education" making them come up with these crazy ideas!

[ducnick]

Impressive stats but what’s wrong with the boring interior. Honestly who wants a crushed velvet interior from a Kahn Range Rover crossed with a vajazzle

A PHer recently remapped his RS6 with a light tune to ~700bhp... blew the engine... and Audi asked for ~£40k to repair / replace it...

Do you just feel the urge to talk st constantly is it like an illness

Actually, I recall reading something along these lines tbh. Perhaps only a fant sniff of truth but unfortunately Yipper has cried wolf far too often...............................

[Andehh]

Love it! Always had a soft spot for the rs6!

I assume you will be offering Yipper an apology?

I like how you present this without comment.

Not all tunes are created equal.

[rtz62]

Won’t the difference be that then abt remap will be covered by the Audi warranty so any engine implosions won’t be costing anyone, except Audi (or abt) £40k...?

[howardhughes]

I read the thread https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Personally, anyone who maps a standard car pushing over 500 bhp and blows it deserves everything they get.
No sympathy.

Never enough for some people.

700 horses in a flat pack shifter?


love it



also the pistonheads journalistic stanards continue to plumb the depths

"tuition-free university education" seriously does no one proof read any of the articles before they get put up?

RS Blue has the same paint code as Nogaro Blue, just that on the RS2 it was called RS Blue, on the B5 RS4 it was called Nogaro Blue. Same paint, different names!

I read the thread and it appears there is a some doubt as to the honesty of the poster....so that would be a no.

Lol.

Just checked the backtrack-o-meter and it's flashing away like a Xmas tree at 10 out of 10

The dude is a well-know RS6 owner and has posted photos of his car before.

[dvs_dave]

Key quotes telling the story from various threads on PH and RS246. Silly boy...

joinery80 said:

Just had the rs6 mapped with full miltek all I can say is wow its mental. Any one with a rs6 this is a must have

joinery80 said:

Do dealers check if used cars have been mapped?? Or there used cars

joinery80 said:

Ahh OK thanks so would this flag up if car was mapped thanks mate sorry for the questions it's just I've been quoted 40k for a new engine

joinery80 said:

Back to topic my engine has ceased and it needs a new engine. It's been in audi for two weeks and they have told me the news today and the car has been mapped and Warrenty is void. I am telling them now that it was obviously the last owner that has had it mapped. Only had the car two months

[powerstroke]

Meh !!! what a boring overpriced ...................
wonder is the Germans will ever come up with something with any charisma ??
any style or soul great on paper but .................

I think given that it's (presumably) LHD only, limited colour choice and "strong" interior, I'd rather have a regular RS6, and then take it an aftermarket tuner.

As much as I don't tend to worry about such things as I like to keep my cars, presumably residuals on this will laugh in the face of an aftermarket effort.
