It has much less (at legal speed limits) to do with speed than it has to do with throttle position. It sounds obvious but so many people don't have clue about throttle position. Going up a hill, at 80 km/h foot flat on the carpet is far less fuel efficient than going up the same hill at 120 km/h with a quarter of the throttle pedal travel.

You know, in my experience, it's interesting how many people treat an accelerator like a light switch: two settings - on and off. Those folks getting the official consumption figures for the manufacturers are professional experts who know exactly how to extract the optimum mileage from a certain vehicle. And... none of it begins to come close to tapping into the vast performance that these cars are capable of.

If you want the horses, you must feed them and the RS6 has a sh!tload of them. What did they claim? 13.9 l/100km? Yeah right and my name's James Bond.

Sorry - That was one of the worst non-quality post I've ever posted. I did put so much ( ) effort into it.


Hope this makes a better impression:

I hope so too. It looks very production ready for me:


Audi HAS TO make it! It's just a must.

I'd be happy to try and see if I can match that claim. Now all Audi needs to do is hand me the keys to an RS6...

Guys. What place does the RS6 come in the list "The Cars with the most horsepower"? I mean stock cars! It's gotta be high!

Here are the numbers from the last test Audi did on the RS6 Avant:

- stopping distance is 37.3m, so yes it is slightly better than the M5 and E63 wagons
- there is no fade after 86 laps at nordschleife !
- 100-0kph in 2.3sec
- 0-100kph in 3.83sec
- 0-100kph of 4.07sec in WET CONDITIONS

P.S. Then why on earth write 4.6!?

And I really would like to see the LEDs as in the S6. I think it would look more agressive.

where did u get that number? that performance is insane, 4.07 in wet condition!!

If that's the case the RS6 is faster in a straight line then every BMW and Mercedes excluding the SLR of course!

GAME OVER!! Please deposit 25 cent!

I hope you are aware of that there is also worse times than those you show above for the RS6 and what you are showing isnt factory times, Audi never claimed that the old RS6 did it in 3,83 sec so you can expect the new RS6 to to better as well.
