Default Audi RS6

580hp but only puts down 60 in 4.5? I find that a bit disappointing for the $150,000 price tag. What do you all think?

probably not. you'd think they'd wanna be at least at 3.9... but it seems the CTS-V remains king in this sector. I'm very interested to see what the upcoming 600hp M5 will do.

Who tested it at 4.5 seconds? was it the Avant (station wagon) or the new sedan?

It's a manufactures time by Audi itself, and it was the sedan.

Yeah, but the exhaust tone is worth the extra $90,000 over a stock CTS-V

The official details for the new Audi A6 aren’t even cold yet and already we are hearing ripples of rumors about different versions of the luxury sedan. It’s only natural that the company will follow the A6 with an S and RS (Renn Sport) version for it, so these rumors are more fact than fiction. However, while the RS version won’t be unveiled until about another two years, many people are too geeked up about it to wait that long, and this fresh rendering is proof of that.

likely not. you'd think they'd wanna be at minimal at 3.9... but it seems the CTS-V relic clergyman in this aspect. I'm real curious to see what the upcoming 600hp M5 instrument do.
