This one came out in 2008. By then the E60 M5 was outdated.

2006 to 2009 was probably the best time period for Audi. We got the R8 (V8 + V10 manual), the S6 and RS6 V10, the TTS plus RS, the Audi S5 with a V8, the RS4 B7 was still in production etc.
And not to mention all the wins the R10 TDI was pulling in at LeMans!

Unlike the BMW and Mercedes twin-turbos, this one DOES NOT make more power than claimed. That's rare for a twin-turbo German car. The C5 RS6 was also no faster than an E60 M5, barely so than a W211 E63.

The saloon is the one to buy.. it's lighter and quicker and you'll be lucky to find one

Journalists seem to think there will be no sedan, which would be bad news indeed..

The datasheet of the M6 originally showed 250 km/h later it was modified to 305 km/h by a Mod. Ask the Mods about it!

@Inline 6 Rules

So what difference is this M6 and normal M6?

Stock M6 is limited for 250km/h.

Probably it wasn't added because the only difference is the top speed.

Actually you\'re wrong. AutoBild Sportscars did 4,1 s 0-100 kM/h and 13,2 s 0-200 km/h with the stock RS6.

Best 0-100 km/h time is 4.3 sec and 0-200 km/h in 13.5 sec... Quarter mile: 12.5 sec :)

What the hell does a Link to F1 have to do with keeping an engine?

It has to do with marketing. The V-10 had a link to F1 when F1 cars had V-10 engines. BMW liked to \"link\" the V-10 in the F1 car to the V-10 in the M5/M6 even though the two obviously shared no parts.

you can get all that stuff from a V10 also.

It is easier to get better fuel economy with a smaller, boosted V8 than it is with a n/a V-10. The hp/torque is easier with forced induction than with n/a.

There\'s no reason to continue with the V-10 for the M5/M6. There\'s no link to F1, they can get better fuel economy, more hp, more low end torque with the twin turbo V-8.

officel... RS6 production stops in the next few days, Audi officel claim that the RS6 production ends in the next days after 5500 units build. Even with a increasing demand (they sold 2010 in 6month more RS6 as in complete 2009) Audi stop production of the RS6 to get more production capability for the all new A6 and A7 in their Neckarsulm plant. Both will be presented end of this year and went on sale early 2011. The new RS6 has already recived green light and is a go... but most likely with a charged or turbo V8 engine.
