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
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
Any of you guys OLD enough to remember the AMG Hammer?

goooodddd god i cant wait to see vids of the new RS6, i hope they make it ridiculous, regardless, its gonna make the m5 look like a kia... i also hope they make next gen S4's with the RS4 v8, and the next gen rs4 with forced induction again
I swear I just saw a magazine article on it and it was only suppose to be around 440 horse, I dont remember if it was the RS6 might be a diff audi, I should have stolen the magazine from the doctor.
Thought this would be a good place to post this...
We recently reported that leaked vehicle chassis codes for the new Audi RS6 specced the output from its twin-turbo V10 engine at 571hp (426kW). Recent information from a source at Audi, however, has put this figure in doubt. The reliable source claims that the 571hp will only be the specified figure Audi will market the car with. True output will be upwards of 600hp, with 610hp (455kW) pegged as the most likely figure. It looks like Audi is taking no chances with the ultimate “wolf in sheep’s clothing” model and even BMW’s excellent V10 motor will struggle to compete with this kind of power output. To give you an idea of just how high this figure is, the RS6 will churn out more horses than the Corvette Z06, BMW M6, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Aston Martin DBS, Porsche 911 GT2, and even Mercedes’ epic bi-turbo V12 CL65 AMG. While we’re always happy to see manufacturers pushing the limit, surely there comes a time when outright power figures get out of control. The previous RS6 wasn’t a slow car by any stretch of the imagination, but the new model will likely become the most practical supercar ever made. At least owners will have a full-time AWD system to help keep them out of trouble.
