German Car Zone

It won't become a little dot , it will disappear in the horizon.Lol...

Like Martin says , 500+ hp in a sedan are useless but since Mercedes and BMW already offered such "useless" cars , Audi would have to do the same sooner or later.

You know its not true Yannis. Not even a Z06 disappear from the horizon against a M6.

Just kidding Andreas. After all straight line acceleration numbers mean nothing to me.

this much horsepower in a car just makes me sick, i really hope the german from now on can take on a different approach when improving performance, such as weight reduction, transmission efficiency and even fuel consumption. because all that power aren't really applicable outside of german autobah.

Nope, keep it coming! I can't wait for the day BMW comes back out with the M7, I'm thinking around 720HP!

Above 120 mph, I will actually put money on the M5 - not that it means much

At such speed HP is the only thing that matters and if the RS6 packs 580 of them the M5 and E63 won't stand a chance at speeds above 62mph.

I dont want to start a war but i just want to state some facts.
Guys Audi always is not that fast for the horsepower quoted. The current RS4 is not that much faster than the E46 M3 and is not faster than the E39 M5. The old M5 has a worse power to weight ratio than the rs4 and its much older. So all this talk of the M5 and E63 being a dot in the mirror is nonsense. Besides the old RS6 0-150 time was 3 seconds slower than the E39 M5 according to Car and Driver. The E39 M5 got 27.7 seconds 0-150 and the e60 M5 got 20.7. The E63 benz got 23.4 and the M6 got 19.5. I mention the M6 because the new RS6 will probably have a similar power to weight ratio.

Probably, I am just making a friendly wager .

But unless the RS6 gets some 7 speed DSG gearbox, I do fancy my chance - the auto tranny + AWD is going to be a lot of parasitic loss at very high speeds.
