Test drove Audi RS6 yesterday
What a fookin beast.
I mean WHAT A BEAST 5.0 V10 Twin Turbo, 527bhp or 580PS whatever floats ya boat. + alot of torque Intially at low speeds its very docile and easy to drive. Ride is firm (in sport) but not as bad as a coupe bm on 19" runflats, even though the RS6 wears 20" rims with 35 profile tyres all round. They are not runflat i believe. The car pulls like a train. Drives very much like a BIG D (335D) but without that enormous shove you get bottem end on a big D. But there is no noticeable lag with the RS6 pulls well from low rpm. It really is not comparable with a mapped 335d obviously. Te RS6 is somewhat faster than the Audi R8 which i drove a while back. The RS6 acceleration is mental. SO RELENTLESS.... jus goes and goes... Its a weird kind of acceleration, does not feel rapido but jsut so linear and the needle does swoop round the clock.. I would say its as fast as an E60 M5 to0 100mph if not faster but the M5 feels so raw and the SMG smashes through the gears. The RS6 just ''melts'' through them as if they are not there. Its a totally different experiance and power delivery to the R8 which is loud and peaky. The RS6 with its abundance of torque just goes at any rev at any given speed. I got upto 150kebabs per hour in a short amount of space before i had to brake. Very stable at speed and would comfortable sit at that speed all day long. The brakes are pretty pheonominal. The thing stops on a 2 pence piece literally. 2.2 tons she weighs but the brakes eat away at the speed like a fat kid devours cake. The interior is sublime, looks and feels expensive, the leather very much like the nappa out of the current M3 but a harder leather. Somewhat better than the Dakota in the ''cooking'' 3 series models. The steering is very weighted at high speed which i liked, but stupidly assisted at town speed. Feels weird changing so quickly from one to the other. Something you would have to get used to. A highly accomplished car, one i feel very priveledged to have drive at some ''pace''. Best part about it is the salesman wont let anyone drive them (R8 and RS6) not even prospective buyers, but has let me as he knows the Fandango can drive LOL. 80k is alot of money for a big estate car (saloon not out yet) But for some it will be worth it. Only 400 coming to the UK also. I loved it. Carlos

i will NEVER own a touring. the only touring i would ever consider would be the M5. but then, i would just get the M5 sedan.
sedans + coupes FTW!
