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/s...ith-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
