LamboFighter Report post Posted August 12, 2008 It looks like we won't have to wait for the Paris Motor Show to get our first glimpse of the 2009 Audi RS6 sedan and it's lesser A6 siblings. Audi has released all the details on its new four-door M5-eater, packing a direct-injected, twin-turbo'd V10 putting out 580 hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque. The same mill that powers the Avant version allows the sedan to sprint to 60 in 4.5-seconds on its way to an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph. The duo of turbos huffs 1.6 bars of boost into the dry sump-equipped 5.0-liter V10, with peak torque arriving at 1,500 RPM and maximum horsepower available at 6,250 RPM. A six-speed tiptronic transmission allows drivers to choose between automatic or manual mode, reducing shift times by one-tenth of second, and sending power to Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Dynamic Ride Control reduces pitch and roll, providing three damper settings – sport, dynamic and comfort – all of which can be activated through the revised MMI system. The RS6 is fitted with 19-inch wheels at all four corners, wrapped in 255/40R19 rubber, and framing 390mm front discs clamped by fixed, six-piston calipers in front and 365 mm rotors, gripped by single-piston calipers in the rear. Buyers can upgrade the wheels to 20x9.5-inch rollers, which allow the fitment of Audi's ceramic brake system (420mm discs in front and 356 mm discs out back).

TRANSAMERA Report post Posted August 12, 2008 It's a station wagon... So? My old RS4 would kick a Gallardos ass, what's your point? The RS6 with a V10 TT 580HP is slow as fcuk, the BMW M5 wagon would kill it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedouglas Report post Posted August 12, 2008 So? My old RS4 would kick a Gallardos ass, what's your point? The RS6 with a V10 TT 580HP is slow as fcuk, the BMW M5 wagon would kill it. My point is that it's a stock wagon. What is yours? That your Gallardo is slow compared to modded RS4? I don't get it. You really think Audi couldn't make this ridiculously fast? Do you think Heffner is the only guy in the world who could turbo a Gallardo, or that Toyota couldn't make the Supra 1000 hp to begin with? If manufacturers wanted to, they could make all cars much faster. Doesn't seem that the M5 Touring is killing in here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusMike Report post Posted August 20, 2008 For all those saying it's slow, Abt has already released an ECU upgrade to 700hp... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=130913 http://www.abt-sportsline.de/en/tuning/sho...igerung-2842-1/ 700hp with a simple ECU tune in a grocery getter. I can't think of a better car to thrash around every day... I'm a BMW guy also. Off topic, but Abt is also supposed to be offering an SC solution for the Audi R8 producing 530hp.

Andrew70 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 just curious, BUT its really necessary all that HP in these type of vehicles?? I mean these type of vehicles are made for mama, dad and the kids---seems kinda of pointless...would rather have all that power in a coupe. Unless you need to get to your school children meeting in a hurry. Boring and pointless waste of HP. my two cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
