Hey, is Audi going to make another RS6 based on the new A6 model ? If yes, around when will it be released? Got any preview pics ??

hav'nt got any pics but yes they will do a new one..


Engine is probably an FSI direct injection V10 from the Gallardo and probably bored to 5.2L for the added torque..power is expected to be in the 500+bhp range..transmission is Audi's 6 Speed DSG autumanual as well as fitting it with the latest quattro 4wheel drive system.

Expect a sedan as well as Avant model..Released sometime in 2007/2008 i presume

OK Thanks a lot ;)
these are photoshops i think, but this is probably what it will roughly look like...

^^those are quite good renderings of the RS6 ! but i think since its an RS model , then the wheel arches need to be a ''bit'' wider :D

Audi A6 with a Lambo engine, that car is going to be seriously quick

It sounds awsome.
Whats the difference between the last gen RS6 and S6?

well i haven't got the original picture, but i'm guessing the logo on the front grill, the rims, the front bumper, side skirts...

It sounds awsome.
Whats the difference between the last gen RS6 and S6?

Last generation RS6 had biTurbo V8 with 450bhp, 6 speed automatic , 4wheel drive..again available as sedan and estate (Avant).

Last S6 had 4.2 V8 around 330 bhp...this new one is hell-uv-alot faser than old gen..has new 5.2 V10 Gallardo engine..FSI..4wheel drive..around 420 bhp..six speed automatic..

Well knowing audi's RS6 history...they'll weld on 8 steel plates to the frame so it weights 9 tons...

Latest rumours say this:

5.5L V10
550HP
7-Speed DSG transmission
Quattro (40:60 split)
Optional ceramic brakes
Extensive use of aluminium to save weight
19" inch rims, optional 20" inch.

This will be one seriously fast car. The point is to take down M5 on track and i think they ll get close. Lets wait and see.
It would be realy nice if they would use all aluminium chasie but i doubt about it :(
