These appear to have leaked out pre Frankfurt unveiling. Not really taken them in yet but it looks like it's got that twin turbo V10.

mmmmmmmmmm I like it I like it, but its another dreamboat annie isn't it... Whats the price tag on that gonna be then - 60 - 70 - 80k ? Stockbrokers, pimps, dealers, corporate lawyers, premiershit footballers, their WAGs and any silver spoon brigade with a modicum of taste need only apply.

Give it 10 years and the mortals that frequent this forum might own one someday - by which time fuel will be a tenner for a litre. Bahhhhhhhhh

Oh I totally agree! Then again I felt the same about the urS4 back in 1993 when I was a poor student ... and (as you say) there's one on my drive now!

Arch blisters look good, if a bit Scooby-like. Interior looks as technologically-laden and full of shiny bits as we'd probably expect. I like the wheels and those composite brakes though - how long before someone bolts a set up to an S2? And I wonder how the likes of MTM and Sportec will respond ...?

Its another sleeper in my opinion, take the badge off and you could easily mistake it for a high power diesel. The sound of a tuned RS6 makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, god knows what this thing will sound like pushing out 600 horses, in an estate model of course

I wonder what BMW will come up with too compete it

[hiltoa]

They look pretty convincing to me.

V10 twin turbo? Mmmmmmmm.

Fingers crossed behind my back, repeatedly saying. I will win the lottery, I will win the lottery I will win the lottery!!!!!!!
Erm wonder if anyone will do an audi experience day so you can dive an original quattro, an R8, Rs4 and one of these......

Now that would most definatley be worth paying for!!!!

[s2driveruk]

i guess the engine will make its way to the R8....? Looks great, drove the S6 V10 n/a one and it sounded great but no mistake it felt like a big car. Got to love thos brakes though, pedal feel is awesome and so is the repeated bite on such a heavy car

twin turbo? im glad they are bring back the turbo's!

[kninio]

its already in audi.de , here is the engine data http://www.audi.de/audi/de/de2/neuwa...em_Niveau.html , 580 HP 650 NM , 0-100 km 4.6 second , and till 200 14.9 , is the bmw m5 v10 faster?

From a post on the M5 Board:-

Just read from the Swedish Auto Motor Sport-site;

"Men enligt en liten fågel som viskat i vårt öra så är 580 hk bara den officiella siffran. I själva verket utvecklar kärnkraftverket en bit ÖVER 600 hk, cirka 610 - 620, men det vågar inte Audi uppge i dessa tider då koldioxidutsläpp är det enda som bilindustrin pratar om."

And in translation;

"According to a little bird that whispered in our ears is 580 hp only the official figure. The actual figure from the nuclear powerplant is a bit OVER 600 hp, approximately 610 - 620, but Audi doesn't dare to state those figures since Co2 is the only thing the car industry is talking about these days"

610-620Bhp potentially!

Utterly savage, beautifully executed! I love it.
