Default 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.

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.

A lambo produces more "low end torque" sitting in garage than an A4 with BT does at 4k rpms pushing 30 psi.

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.
