A6/S6/RS6 RS6 Avant used in a robbery attack in Sweden

[Tumbo]

This is right now breaking news in Sweden.
Two robbers in a RS6 Avant, tried to ram a bank truck of the highway (!), but failed, and instead they left the demolished RS6 in the middle of the motorway, and vanished by foot.

Poor car!!! Why use such a unique vehicle for trying to ram a bank truck!?!? Seriously?

It's easy. Nobody sees it's a very fast car, making it look less suspicious.

The RS cars (both, 4 & 6) are about perfect for con jobs. In fact, the history is full of them cars being involved in dirty jobs!

Im innocent. But everyone the robbery would succeed if they used a Bimmer

haha, yeah, just remembered this one:

Audi RS6 Caught in Spain Going 133mph with 870kg of Hashish​

A smoking Audi RS 6 Avant was caught doing 213.8km/h on the A-49 stretch between Huelva and Seville in Spain. The driver was busy getting away from the long arm of the law, which in turn was keen on his load. Some law-enforcers spotted the big Audi carrying a number of rather suspicious-looking bags at the back. These could easily be seen through the clear windows.
Upon realising his steed was being closely examined, the driver planted his right foot on the floor, letting loose all power to reach a high of about 240km/h at some point. The agents of course gave chase for about 20km but could not catch the flying RS 6 with its 580 horses in full attendance.
Eventually the fleeing driver came up to some heavy traffic and could not exploit the car's engine anymore. So he got out and ran, on foot. It turns out he had quite a valid reason for his neck-breaking speed. A total of 27 bags of hashish weighing about 870kg (1,918 lbs) was confiscated from everywhere but the driver's side. The illegal cache's street value is estimated at €120,000 (US$180,500), about €10,000 less than a standard RS 6 Avant in Germany. The RS 6 driver was eventually apprehended.​

Here in SA the vehicle of choice for in-transit robberies is old E39 5er's. Shame that they destroyed that RS6.

Sure, for goIng fast, I understand. But for ramming a money transport?? That's just stupid. The should have a Hummer for that.

Last year here in Holland they used an RS6 to get away with 12 million euros, stolen money. Police is still looking

Because they are bastards who have no consideration for other people's belongings and lives. They hurt, they rob and they kill.

They are bad guys. And a good bad guy is a dead bad guy.

Let me salvage that engine. I can pick up a cheap used Jetta for the engine to call a home. That would be the ultimate sleeper.

I think he is saying it the way it is.
