RS6 Avant vs. M5
Interesting results, from a source usually not entirely unbiased. Must've been very tough accepting the outcome...

What was the excuse for not winning? Flat tires? The RS6 had 8000 hp? Rohrl at the Audi wheel? He concentrated too much on getting the accent mindnumblingly horrible?

they should have had the race from a complete stop, cause then the RS6 would have truly killed the M5

Not bad for an AWD car that can haul your dog, or two kegs in the back. For me, that is THE car right now.

Fabulous engine, If i was a philthyonaire, i would just buy it and strip it of its interior, make it lightweight and race it.
That car is a beast.

Nice. But that was pretty much what I expected. The video fotographer and driver seemed a little upset over the outcome..

No need to strip it... With that much torque it hardly notices the interior. I would love one, but with the euro/dollar hurting, it's not likely here.

The 20inch wheels of course.

The RS6 feels HEAVY, really heavy. Carries alot of weight into the corner.

The least of your problems would be the interior.
