Audi's new RS6 - still no 600 horses
In very non-typical manner for Audi, this generation RS6 won't come with any power increase. In fact, it will have 20 hp less than the outgoing RS6. As expected, the engine will be the same 4 litre twin turbo V8 unit that Audi use in S6 and S8, and Bentley have adopted for Continental GT. In RS6 trim this engine will produce 560 metric horsepower and 700 Nm of torque at very low 1750 rpm. The latter figure is actually increase by 50 Nm, compared to the outgoing V10. While less power is never good news, more miles per gallon always are, even for a performance oriented cars like RS6 or Bentley Continental. Increase in fuel economy is actually quite dramatic - Audi press release suggests 40%, according to European testing cycle. Downsizing from the irrationally enormous V10 bi-turbo to a much more compact V8 also cuts a lot of weight. Outgoing RS6 was notorious for being a very heavy car for it's size and wasn't breaking any acceleration records even with turbo boost cranked up to 700+ horsepower. This generation Avant is full 100 kilograms lighter which contributes to a 0 - 100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds. This is also in part due to more efficient powertrain with very responsive twin-scroll turbochargers and new 8 speed tiptronic transmission. While none of the super sedans - German or American have reached the 600 horsepower milestone yet, both BMW M5 and the new RS6 are considerably faster than previous generations while, at the same time, consume and pollute much less. In this age of green and global warming, I think it's a happy compromise. Community comments (32) | Quick VoteBest known carsPopular race tracks |

I'd like to see this +model created. Not a big upgrade, but 600+ horses will make its day. ;)
Ooohh... so a lot of trash right here...
"Audi is better than Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus, and whatever." That's a matter of opinion, not fact, everyone has their favorite make, just because it isn't the same as yours doesn't make them wrong. It is wiser to agree to disagree.
How's about you pass 3rd grade English, and try again? In fact, just pass 3rd grade, period. Maybe your classmates could teach you some better insults.
Just shut the fuck up you retarded kid.
@ Muse: Kiss both of my pasty white buttocks, you ignorant retard.
so based on this video i think RS6 might have around 600hp under hood, but anyway i like to see donno first :)
for that kind of car 500 is bloody enough
it's still perfect
turbochargers are now twin-scroll
Thanks... Cheers!
