New RS6. Unfortunately for me just another wet dream

[andrewd]

just computer renderings

If they're computer renderings I'll eat both of our hats.

The car on the Audi Germany website looks very similar indeed! There are some desktop sized pics there too.

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!

Funny i can remember my dad an i going to Isaac Agnews in Belfast to look at a new S4. They had a red S4 saloon sitting in the showroom that just looked out of this world back then. I can remember thinking who was the lucky git that had ordered it.

14 years later we have a red S4 in our drive way, and funny thing is we imported it from N.Ireland. So keep dreaming...

I know i will be, thats just taken first place in my wish list. Sorry RS4

what is DRC?

Dynamic Ride Control - basically left front damper is connected to the right rear damper and vice versa, creating a mechanically adaptive system, without loads of electronics.

It may well work better when combined with Magnetic Ride, can't wait to see if they've managed to make it handle less like a barge than the urRS6.

gee and that reminds me why i want quattro style arches on me car ( or nova style ) might just weld up the back doors ...

[Dubbedup]

Oooof Oooof and thrice Oooof....

Ok, time to start saving...

Hands up who would rather have one of these than a R8...Yeah didnt think so... But with that potential standard power, what would it be like with a pair of 'proper' turbo's, one of pauls homefry ecu's and a milltek cat back exhaust ;-)

very nice indeedi have to sell my other kidney now

[s2 rich]

the only bad thing of course is now the rs4 production now stops as audi will never run more than one rs car at the same time for some strange reason exclustivity i suppose that has to be spealt wrong lol.

Also known as "hydralastic suspension" which Rover and Citroen have played with at various times in the last 50 years to greater or lesser successes.

How nice is that? Monster brakes or what?! 610+bhp sounds promising too.
