All i have to say is:

WOW

dont stare only on horsepowers, dont forget the extra weight of Quattro. I think the new RS6 is going to be faster than M5 and E63 up to 100km/h, from 0-200km/h the differences will be a lot closer.

and if RS6+ comes it will come in the end of the RS6 existing which mean years ahead.

yeah i know.. i was just in HP world there..
but still 507/514 vs 580 the jump is to large .. plus RS cars dont handle bad..
so it will be one generation ahead in everything.. if not i will be surprised..

but this mean next E63 and M5 will be more badass than they are today

The V10 bi-turbo engine can easily go up to 630 hp with a electronic magagement upgrade. Audi has tested the engine with that output and there was no problem. So RS6+ (if ever made) will have around that number.

Remember the RS6 C5?

The M5 E39 with 400 Bhp was the ultimate sports saloon, but then Audi turned up at the party with 50 more Bhp and four-wheel-drive. Soon the M5 became a dot in the rear-view mirror... still a close dot, though.

And don't forget the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG W211.

Surely not 426 kW for a 4 door saloon? As if 395 kW isn't more than enough. As if the current 5.2 litre V10 without turbocharging isn't more than enough. Where this is all going heaven only knows. You'd swear there wasn't a fossil fuel crisis and that petrol costs 30p a gallon.

Twin-turbo V10? Fine bring it on. It'll make for good conversation. But believe me, the world doesn't need this. Not in an A6 sedan or Avant. Supercars are one thing but enough really ought to be enough.

Seriusly. 571 and 507 hp is a HUGE difference. No worry about the little extra Quattro weight. The RS6 will sure kill the m5 both in straight line and on track.

I have heard several times that they tested the RS6 with that engine with 680hp....

Of course it will be faster but the new RS6 wont vanish away and become a little dot for M5 or E63 owners.
