A6/S6/RS6 New Audi RS6 (Spy pics & info)

[Merc1]

I think Audi, Merecedes and BMW need to sit down and come up with some kinda gentlemens agreement in regards to these outragous hp figures!

I agree, but what they'll likely do when at such a meeting is discuss how to share the cost of making their outrageous hp outputs "greener" and more efficient. As you see, slowly but surely the 155 mph gentleman's agreement is falling by the wayside.

The RS6 is going to be a great car. No doubt. But I'll be the wet blanket here and say the power's too much. I prefer Audi to follow a more efficient philosophy - to use less power and yet maintain the same kind of performance. I really do not see ultra-powerful cars with bi-turbo V10s with a lasting future. It just seems like an overkill.

 

[Merc1]

True, but Audi has to have more power because of the extra drivetrain and usually weight their RS models carry compared to M/AMG models. Even with all this power I bet the car won't break the 4 second mark from 0-60 mph. The next AMG E and M5 will I bet. Then again with 575hp it just might. This is going to be one of the highlights next month!

Very true again. I guess the weight deficit caused by quattro does justify the power output somewhat. That torque will serve quattro well.

You guys need to remember that cars are getting heavier each generation. Blame the worlds regulations for that, and therefore to raise the performance bar cars need more power. Simple as that really. If it keeps on like this though BMW and mercedes are gonna have to go 4wd

Pity. Weight kills all sports cars.

Making the picture much brighter, you can see the shape of the new wheels:

Are those the same wheels with S5?

No I dont think they are.

 

[Mr. M]

They look like huge 20".

This car really is going to be insane.
And I rally believe that the RS6 will come with the facelifted version of A6.

The black tape on the lower part of the light covers the LEDs that will be standard on RS6 and FL A6.

Audi’s RS6 will get more than 571hp
Posted on Monday 27 August 2007

View attachment 06ed4e75b52f03c74702e8f409a51192.jpgWe recently reported that leaked vehicle chassis codes for the new Audi RS6 specced the output from its twin-turbo V10 engine at 571hp (426kW). Recent information from a source at Audi, however, has put this figure in doubt. The reliable source claims that the 571hp will only be the specified figure Audi will market the car with. True output will be upwards of 600hp, with 610hp (455kW) pegged as the most likely figure. It looks like Audi is taking no chances with the ultimate “wolf in sheep’s clothing” model and even BMW’s excellent V10 motor will struggle to compete with this kind of power output.

To give you an idea of just how high this figure is, the RS6 will churn out more horses than the Corvette Z06, BMW M6, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Aston Martin DBS, Porsche 911 GT2, and even Mercedes’ epic bi-turbo V12 CL65 AMG.

While we’re always happy to see manufacturers pushing the limit, surely there comes a time when outright power figures get out of control. The previous RS6 wasn’t a slow car by any stretch of the imagination, but the new model will likely become the most practical supercar ever made. At least owners will have a full-time AWD system to help keep them out of trouble.

Seriously, if it gets any moe than 560hp, I'll be very surprised...

Remember all the talk about the S8 getting over 500 hp...? And it ended up on 450...

 

[rev]

610 hp would be absolutely insane! Make it!!!

I'm not qualified to say, but it might very well be!

Hmmm... It lacks the LED-strips on the lower parts of the front lights.
