A6/S6/RS6 Audi S6: Press test drives and reviews

[IanDriver]

Ι could see myself with a normal A6, but S6 or RS6? I'd prefer my beast to be RWD

Exactly, and windows must be opened with a crank.

Excuse me?

Haha, as I you would say no to an RS6...
You can throw the new RS4 in the curves a lot, and I for sure think that the RS6 will provide you with the same kind of fun.

I am not against AWD sportscars. What I didn't like was older Audis that were very nose heavy and understeered to death. Audi seems to have finally the best recepy for AWD sedans, with a bigger rear bias.

All that is nice in theory, but in practice, I don't really see the point of such cars. More than 500 hp in a 2 ton sedan? It will be freaking fast in the straigths, but on the corners? I have tried to corner fast with a big Audi, and I felt that each time I got out of a corner, the earth moved. It wasn't that difficult to go fast, but if you sensed the mass that you controlled and was moving around you, it was scary! I didn't really enjoy it.

For me, the last super sedan I would buy is the E39 M5. The E60 had a magnificent engine, but design apart, it's two freaking tons! Same goes for the Rs6, the M5 the E63 and the rest of the gang.

An RS4 would be great, but I doubt that it can do donuts around a roundabout, and I tell you the truth, that I would feel ashamed with my friends that would easily burn their tyres with two mere 320i's

I do get your point. I think it's a matter of tastes. But you know, I'm more the type of guy that would do circles in my Audi Quattro around that 320i when the weather is rainy, slippery, snowy or whatever

^ What? 0-100 km/h 4.28 s? Very nice!!

 

[Tumbo]

Oh boy oh boy.. These S-cars mean serious business. But 4.28 to 100 is nothing special, cause the Americans got 3.7 seconds to 96km/h.
