Re: Audi A5 mule, muling around...

looks like A5 to me.

What are you talking about? It says A6 on the rear of the car... it also says 4.2...

So the rumours about the S6 getting a V10 gone??

S6 and there is already a thread with these pics....

I'm sorry that I am not too well informed about this... but from carspyshots, people were arguing that the S6 was going to get a V10. I thought it was extremely unlikely...

So what do you reckon? V8 for sure? Plus it says so (4.2) on the mule...?

From this pic you can see that the front wheel is not where it should be if it was an A6 but it has been moved further to the middle of the body. The A6 exterior parts are just a camo to hide what's below .

I think it is common practice for Japanese manufacturers to put the body of an old model on the new to disguise it while they test it.

I guess now that S8 is here we know what engine the S6 will have: a 5.2 lt V10 FSI producing 450 hp.

Hopefully the S6 will be quicker than the S8....

But no much. S8 thanks to advanced aluminium body , weights only 1940 kgr so S6 won't be much lighter.
BTW M5 weights 1821 kgr.

So how come the M5 is almost half a second quicker than the S8 to 60??
