The black rails, mirrors, grille, and that amazing color (best color for a car, if u ask me), makes it look amazing!! ![]() ![]() Btw, I wonder why there has not been any test of R8 vs RS6 Avant so far. ![]() What I would do to be apart of this day...

Otherwise it's a good-looking car like the regular A6 Avant but the LEDs below the front lights look terrible. In the A5/S5, R8 and even the A4 the curved LED-strip works really well but on the RS6 it's plain straight and ends up looking cheap. |

the more power audi gave the car, the more heavy duty the drivtrain has to be and hence it would be heavier slowing the car, so it comes to a point where for each 10 hp for example audi added over lets say 500hp only 5 of those dont get wasted due to the transmission losses and the drivetrain weight increase for it to cope with the power reliably. Basically audi engineers were in a way fighting a loosing battle when it comes to such great power, with a AWD package and such a big vehicle. Nevertheless they did well. | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Driven: 2009 Audi RS 6 Avant Hmmm, so let me get this straight. RS6 with some 80 additional HP is faster than both M5 and E63 both in a straight line and around a track (at least according to the 2 tests I saw). But it is a disappointment cause it is not as fast as the 80 HP would lead you to believe. Probably mostly cause of its weight. C63 has 40HP advantage over M3 and is faster in a straight line but slower around a track (by huge gap in some tests, not so huge gap in other tests). Again probably mostly cause of it's weight. With RS6 you at least get AWD for all that weight - which has it's advantages. So I wonder which one is a bigger disappointment? No, my contention is not that C63 is a disappointment, but neither is RS6. It does its role well especially as a wagon. If it is a disappointment it is for not being as fun as it's little brother RS4 and not cause of numbers. |
