What are these Audi's going to run? I was considering the A6 w/ the 4.2 for the little lady and that was wbout 50k. I love the subtle looks but this body is also heading for a re-design isn't it?

A simple ECU upgrade will make this car hang with 996TTs.

yup, in a straight line at least. i wonder how audi's version of the adaptive suspension will work out. can't say any of their recent suspension work has left a standing impression with me.

I think the RS will cost around 60k plus.
I was just kidding about the racing but I never turn down one.
I think Mercedes is a better car; however, Audi is good for road racing thou.

Enjoy the Pics

the RS6 base price will probably cost only a little less than the M5. it is going to be blindingly fast. wish i can afford one.

I saw an AutoWeek show which the RS6 has 20in wheels and they were running the hell out of it around Mountain Road/Canyons etc.
This is the "First" Audi I would ever consider buying. And 450hp without any mods..........

yeah, there's the S versions and then there are the RS versions, RS being more 'extreme'. i read somewhere that audi is going to be putting a lot more effort into pushing the RS models out. should be fun.

the RS version is tuned by Quattro of Audi. it's just like the M from BMW and AMG from Mercedes-Benz. i'm not sure about the regular S version. i think S version is from the Audi it self, the purpose of the S version is more like a top of the line thing rather than the RS version which are more sports car like.

it is confusing to me too. i still don't know why Audi would bother to have both the S and RS version.

The RS 6 is a TWIN Turbo, 450 HP.

It's like the NEW SL55 AMG with 500 HP.
