That's the point of testing it...to try and iron out the handling as much as possible. I'm confident they'll do it. 520-550 bhp... , I can't say I'm not salivating at that prospect.

Mook Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 520-550bhp - OMFG Those wonderfully crazy Germans are set to add forced induction to the already balls-out 5.2L V10 that powers the more "pedestrian" S6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 What's the damage for an M5? I'd guess they'd target it at that. £65K+ IIRC - plus extras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Do you reckon the new RS6 will be an auto/tip like the original, rather than a manual. It's the one thing that's put me off buying an original RS6 Avant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I think it's the trend now, Tip is the easiest quickest way of changing gear, it's taken me a couple of weeks to really come to grips with going back to manual in the RS4, it's more involving and more fun at times, and when tired on the motorway just use cruise.
