New RS6 Spied
Posted 24th May, 2007 in Audi | 9 Comments
Thanks to Dan for sending us these photos of the forthcoming Audi RS6, at rest in Spain.
We can expect at least 550bhp from the monster twin-turbocharged 5.0L V10 powerplant. The car will initially be offered with an automatic ‘box, with a DSG transmission available in the future.
The grilles at the front and that diffuser at the rear are subtle giveaways to what lies in the engine bay. Expect slightly swollen arches once that cladding’s been removed.

Wow, thats going to be a killer car. Who thought we would be having stock sedens with 550 HP

If rumours are to be believed, it could have nearer 570bhp!!
Thanks for your comments guys.

I can’t wait to get this, I was about to buy the old 03′ RS6. Not anymore.

Hi
I’m the news editor on Autocar magazine in the UK - I was wondering if you could put me in touch with the person that took these pictures, as we’re interested in running them in the magazine. My email is daniel.stevens@haymarket.com
Cheers

Think what this could do with a little tuning… not that its needed.

I doubt it’ll be turbo charged, given Audi’s recent switch to n/a V8s

There are still plenty of cars in the VW family with turbos. Time will tell.

Fantastic.
Incidentally, the worlds longest truck which is 55 meters long also features a 550 BHP motor.
