2008 RS 6

Anyone hear about the 2008 RS 6, I was doing some research and found something that said it would be a turbocharged V10 pushing around 550hp, M5 killer I'd say. The pictures I saw were pretty sick, anyone have any other info on it.

i heard it was gettin the 5.5L V10 from the Q7. never heard about it being turbocharged. the engine is producing 550hp as is. if they put a turbocharger on that beast you can kiss the m5 goddbye

correction now it might be a turbocharged 5.0L thats found in the gallardo http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/16/spy-shots-audi-rs6-with-turbo-v10/

Pretty sweet car. Can't wait to see what they are gonna ask for this one. Probably too high which stinks.

I saw on a website that it was gonna be close to 100k, but I dont know how accurate that it. Either way the new RS 6 is gonna be quite a sight.

those cars are going to be pushing some serious power when they get the engines tuned and slap some bigger turbos on there.

Reading that link - I never understand all of the "they can't put in the same engine as the Lambo" kind of thinking. Someone buying an Audi sedan and someone buying a Lambo are not the same buyer. Someone that has wanted a Lambo their entire life isn't going to hear that the RS6 has the same engine and say "Now I don't want a Lambo" or "This car doesn't seem fast anymore because I know that somehere out there, there is a heavier 4dr sedan with this engine". Car mag/blog writers just need to get over it.

I completely agree with you, the RS 6 is supposed to be fast and it's not gonna take away lambo buyers. I say make the RS 6 as fast as possible.

that car is gonna be a beast, i say they make it as powerful as possible

ya i cant wait till they start prdoucing them. it wont take long for one of those bad boys to end up in my grandfathers shop

Seems a bit odd that Audi has gone away from the turbos for the S4 and inparticular the RS4 - now the RS6 has turbo chargers?

Any way it will be kicking the M5's ass, the M5 is getting old now, maybe they will update it with more power?

im sure a few years after the new m3 comes out there will be a bran new spankin m5 that will (i hate to say it, but its probally gonna be true) will be faster than the rs6, given i's still rather have the rs6 because it looks so damn tight and it o so comfortable

I thought from all the press/media bout the S6 that the V10 was a fair squeeze into the engine bay? how did Audi fit a V10 bituro in - with all that plumbing and not to mention 2 coolers

quote:

Powered by the same V10 engine as the S6, but with some help from a turbo delivering about 520-550 bhp,

Sorry guys just re read it again, would Audi use 1 turbo, no they wouldnt be that silly to just use 1 turbo



That is one shick avant!
Lov the ricer cooling vents in the hood

lol... All this attention for a stationwagon??? Don't get me wrong, mates, the numbers and specs are trully awesome, but in a wagon???

Is this the man's answer to being a soccer mom or something? What's next? They drop the V10 into a minivan??? lol

they make the wagon in europe, they always have made both, but theyt only make the sedan in america, and it is sick regardless

Wow

Well I guess it is time to start thinking about starting a new car fund. Thanks for sharing this info. Audi once again proves that it has what it takes to make us enthusiasts drool

That's exactly why I love the um.. AVANT (don't say wagon, it makes me cringe) haha

Picture this, you're driving down the road, and a "wagon" pulls up and when you both mash the gas, you lose terribly to the grocery getter. I love it. The Avants are so stealthy.

I love the idea of it.


i.e.
Audi RS4 Avants - both generations
Audi RS6 Avants - both generations
Audi S4 Avants - All generations
Dodge Magnum SRT-8
Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon
Vovlo 850R Estate
Volvo V70R
BMW M5 Touring - all Generations
Mercedes E63 AMG Estate

id rather have an avant (or wagon) anyway that why you can rerun this phrase in your head "I just got smoked by a Wagon !"

i think a great engine for the next rs6 would be the v12 tdi found in that sick ass new q7
