Design-wise I also think it`s a winner. It`s understated and very low key which is the case with most Audi designs. Audi models arn`t very photogenic anyways. Once you guys see it in the metal you will like it very much. 
One of the most amazing features is how damn flexible the power band is!
This happens to be an engineering challenge to Turbo/ Kompressor technology because the power is released very earily in the RPM range then starts to die off. With the RS6 power is still there past 6000PRM!
-----------
The engine of the new Audi RS 6 is a high-tech work of art. The 4,991 cc V10 bundles a number of Audi's race-winning technologies – FSI direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and two turbochargers. With up to 1.6 bar of boost pressure, these provide smooth, powerful thrust and an incomparable power band: The peak torque of 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) is available from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm and thus nearly over the entire rev range. Peak power of 426 kW (580 hp) is generated between 6,250 rpm and the maximum figure of 6,700 rpm.
-------------
This is more powerful and more flexible than the competition from BMW M and Mercedes AMG!
with such a wide powerband
at speeds 125 plus MPH it`s going to blow some serious doors off!!

Little editing I did! I thought the wheels didn't fit the arches properly so i lowered it a little and made the wheels a little bigger and now it looks much better
Audi reveals RS6 Sedan ahead of Paris Motor Show debut
Earlier this year, Audi revealed pictures and statistics for its monstrous V10-powered RS6 Avant, and now the first details about the sedan variant have been revealed just months out from new car’s debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show. Just like the Avant wagon, the new RS6 Sedan is fitted with a 5.0L twin-turbo V10 engine that churns out 580hp (426kW) and 480lb-ft (650Nm) of torque. The car also comes with their permanent quattro four-wheel drive and sports suspension with dynamic ride control.
Combining FSI direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and two turbochargers tuned to deliver 1.6 bar of boost pressure, the mighty mill delivers smooth, powerful thrust throughout the rev range. Peak torque, for example, is generated between 1,500 to 6,250rpm - nearly the entire rev range.
With a power-to-weight ratio of 3.4 kilograms per hp, the RS6 will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds and top out at an electronically controlled 280km/h. Power is transferred to all four wheels via a new six-speed tiptronic automatic gearbox, which has been updated for quicker gear shifts and shorter ratios. The driver can also manually change gears either using the shift lever or the paddles on the steering wheel.
The body of the 4.93 meter (16.17 ft) RS 6 also sports a number of distinctive features to distinguish it from the standard sedan. These include the single-frame grill, the air intakes, adaptive lights and RS6-specific LED daytime running lights, flared fenders and deep side skirts, a rear diffuser, a spoiler integrated into the trunk lid and the two large oval exhaust pipes.
The interior is lined with carbon-fiber, aluminum, leather and Alcantara, and is put together with the usual Audi precision and attention for detail. Customers can choose between two steering wheels - the multifunctional sport steering wheel with three-spoke design and the RS multifunctional sport steering wheel. The RS version, which can optionally be covered in suede, features the motorsport style flat-bottomed design and RS6 emblems on the lower spoke. The RS6 also gets its own unique instrument cluster, featuring a turbocharger boost pressure indicator, oil temperature gauge and a lap timer, all of which can be accessed via the driver information system.
Audi offers carbon-ceramic brakes for the RS6 with 19in wheels as standard, however if you upgrade to the 20in wheel package you get larger diameter brakes sized at 420mm at the front and 356mm at the rear.
Other safety features include Audi’s lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and Audi side assist. Electronic stability also comes as standard, but can be set to a ‘Sport’ mode or even deactivated entirely.
The RS6 will be launched in Europe this October following its debut at the Paris Motor Show that same month. There’s no word on when it will be sold in North America and whether it will be joined by its Avant sibling.

Correct.
They are indeed from the Moscow Auto Show. BTW they introduced the Lexus LS460 AWD there as well.

Does anybody else cringe when they show automatic transmissions??
It's the only solution. Too much torque.

I agree 100% ... But if I was ever to get one it would actually be a automatic, then my R8 or Lambo would be manual

Is that official ?
Why can't they just fit the car with a CCX or Zonda clutch... ZERO PROBLEMO?!
... ? Come on Audi - Where's that Vorsprung gone ?

But the automatic dont seem to help much. There are transmissions errors with the automatic. Owners in Germany are leaving their cars to Audi workshops. I expect there will be some sort of recall later on.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
