A more efficient drive line (7speed SMG vs automatic transmission and RWD vs AWD).

I always wondered if Audi went for such a huge leap in HP over the competition cause they wanted to put the RS6 way over the top compared to the competition or cause the car actually needed all that power to beat M5 - it is looking more like it is the latter.
