Since when a 420 hp car can be called disappointing?

I'd expect a little bit more hp from a 5.2L V10 engine... Not that 420 aren't enough, no, but 20 - 30 more wouldn't hurt.

LOL...I don't think it's really necessary, RS6 is coming man!!

Still, it would be 100hp difference between those two if the S6 would have 450 and the RS6 550 hp as we know. That's ok, afaic... But still, 420 is enough.

If S6 get 420hp then Im pretty sure that RS6 wont get 550hp, probably 520-530 is closer to the truth.
The difference between S6 and Rs6 is 340hp vs 450hp, another reason why I dont think next RS6 are going to get 550hp.

I'm pretty sure that the S6 won't get those "Q7 blinkers" LED fog lights. But it would be damn cool if it did!

Those are chops right? Not official pics?

420hp might not be monsterous but remember that the RS6 is on it's way. Hopefully this car will be priced rights. Does anyone have price comparisons concerning S6 and RS6?

I wonder what the performace on the S6 will be? I'm guessing something like 5.3 seconds to 100km/h.

A6 4.2 Quattro has 335hp and does 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds. I guess that the S6 will be about 0.6-0.9 seconds faster.

This can later be compared with 550i which pushes 367hp and does 0-100 in 5.5 seconds.

Well all will be revealed next week at the Detoit show. I'd say a RS6 a no-brainer if the S6 doesn't even come close to the M5 and E55. Audi is seemingly going to provide a lower-priced alternative that performs the same and/or a little better than the 550i or upcoming E550, but less than the M5/E55. That means the RS6 will attempt to sit above the M5/E63.
