AWD/DCT

kyleb350 · 06-04-2012, 03:04 AM

and 406 ft lbs doesn't hurt either.

Soorena · 06-04-2012, 04:56 AM

I've heard these TT V8's are seriously underrated.

Jack_Vang · 06-04-2012, 07:44 AM

Damn...

Sedoy · 06-04-2012, 11:38 AM

Definitely underrated, S6 did even better - 1/4 mile 12.1 sec, F10 M5 did 11.9 sec in the same review. Pretty impressive for $71K (base price) S6 as well as 4255 lbs. for V8TT + AWD with 17/26 EPA MPG.

Wait, so in this thread do we trust American magazine numbers?

wisesoul · 06-04-2012, 12:09 PM

Doubt those numbers are accurate. TT-RS clocked a 3.5 0-60 one time, but was really low 4s when others tested it. Audi can easily increase the boost on their turbo engines for the press. I'm going to wait for more results

I thought that was with the DCT that did 3.5 0-60. The low 4s was with a manual trans that we are getting.

that's correct

mike@Vossen · 06-19-2012, 04:22 PM

Car is a beast!!

MikeyV · 06-20-2012, 03:26 AM

This is just the S6/S7 just imagine what a beast the RS6/RS7 will be. The M5 won't know which way it went.

pkimM3r · 06-22-2012, 08:38 PM

it may have a great dig but what's it look like passed the quarter mile. and you gotta expect some heavy ass understeer with the quattro.

bmw is getting softer with every F code generation!!
it's a matter of time untill audi will top bmw in every category!
I''ve seen manny reviews saying a8>7, a6>5, q3>x1, a3 i''m sure will be better than 1 series

i really hope i am wrong but....

pkimM3r · 06-28-2012, 07:08 PM

f10 m5 doing a 0-60 in less than 3.7 seconds and the 1/4mi in 11.9? thats better than a panamera turbo. and rwd handling? audi can't compete with that.

fwiw, the genesis rspec is quicker than the panamera S. lol

Agreed.

mdosu · 07-16-2012, 12:49 AM

pretty consistent numbers Audi S6 had similar figures. The car will run out of breath in a 1 mile high speed run.

As others have said, AWD and DCT does wonders for a standing start...
