Audi RS6 sedan twin-turbo V10 580 horspower

Audi RS6 sedan


Reports now indicate that the twin-turbo V10 580 horspower super-sedan will be unveiled at the upcoming Paris Motor Show this coming October. We can expect the sedan version to carry the same mechanicals as its wagon counterpart, however certain visual updates are expected to be shown on the top-of-the-line RS6 sedan before they trickle down to the entire A6 range.

Really hope they change the front end. The A6 is looking tired.

I honestly like the front end on my C5 A6 over this. The powerplant is nice, but it doesn't have the flare that it needs to compete with cars like the M5 IMHO.

The entire front needs to be a little more aggressive. The rear looks nice though w/led tails

looks like they removed the LED bars in the bumper in lieu of putting them in the headlights like the other models.

x2 The front end needs a little more effort.

I have to revive the thread because the pictures are beautiful...

And only the UK is RHD (Western Europe, But I think Ireland is RHD too, not sure). Some parts of the middle east that were controlled by the UK are RHD as well. The rest of the land is LHD to include Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, etc...

Talking New RS6

I saw this on the Torque Report:










Now, does this get any better? Here's some technical data:

26 kW (580 hp) and 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) of torque – with its twin-turbo V10 and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the Audi RS 6 is a car without equal. Following on the heels of the RS 6 Avant, Audi now presents the sedan. It drives like a supercar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercar thanks to its superior performance and thrilling dynamics, yet offers all of the everyday utility of a large business sedan.

The only downer is the price...... Euro 105,500.00

But I like......... Really like........

The Torque Report RS6

While I understand why they put those seats in this car, they still seem out of place to me in a 4 door.

You guys are converting Euros to USD, which will not be anywhere near the actual price if/when it gets to US soil. Here's a list to compare:
911T €143,000
RS6 €105,500
E63 €99,186
M5 €93,500
GTR €80,690

It's certainly an expensive car, but the price isn't too out of line given it's equipment.
