Default 08 Audi RS6

I thought I was in love until I read how much it weighs, 4,464 pounds
Still a beautiful car though http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drive...otopanel..1.*#2

I don't care how much it weighs. That's still 1,000 lbs or so less than a Cayenne Turbo, right? That thing is sweet. If I was made of $$$ and it was sold here, I'd buy one.

I thought it would be faster. I'd still take an E63 Wagon over this.

Twin turbo V10 and some carbon ceramic brakes......niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

Why did they have to put all those goodies in a 4500lb grocery-getter station wagon?

It delivers a strapping 580 hp between 6,250 rpm and 6,700 rpm, and there's a thumping 479 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm all the way to 6,250 rpm.
Gotta love what a V10 and some snails can accomplish.

I'd say if this thing was available in manual and someone was to launch it with a 4 wheel burnout it would have a 0-60 blast in the mid 3s

They won't be for sale in the U.S.
