    Audi RS6 Avant or Audi R8, Which Is The Fastest?

    Though Audi claims that both the Audi RS6 Avant and Audi R8 are equally fast to 62 mph and 124 mph, we've always been skeptical as to whether or not the Ãœberwagen of our dreams could actually compete. Thankfully, the folks at EVO mag had a version of each to test out. The bottom line? Almost. More »

    2009 Audi RS6 Sedan Bows At Moscow Auto Show

    Ever since making every other wagon made look like a wimpy slow-mobile, the Audi RS6 Avant has had us drooling over its 580 HP, 5.0 liter V10. But now it comes in sedan flavor. The Audi RS6 sedan gets the same goods as the wagon (ceramic brakes, all-wheel drive, 100% badass) but cuts a more svelte shape thanks to the sedan form. It's hard to not heap praise upon the RS6: After all, how many cars have the performance capabilities of your average supercar with seating for five?

    2009 Audi RS6 Sedan, Revealed: Twin-Turbocharged Four-Door Power!

    It's a lazy Monday afternoon in the summertime, and if you're Audi, that means it's the perfect time to reveal a new double-turbocharged quattro-equipped sports sedan. Enter the new 2009 Audi RS6 Sedan and its big twin-turbo V10 engine with an output of 580 HP and 479 lb-ft of torque — the perfect bookend to the Audi RS6 Avant revealed late last year. The RennSporty-6 sedan also gets "racing-inspired" direct-injection plus a dry-sump lube system. All will help the new Audi catapults from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.5 seconds with an electronically-limited top speed of 155.34 MPH, which can be optionally raised to 173.98 mph. Price? Well, on the other side of the pond, we're talking about 105,550 euros (round about $157K in weird Euro prices) when it hits the showroom floors in mid-October. Want more details? Hit the jump.

    Audi RS6 Sedan Spied In Germany

    We've already gotten a look at the twin turbocharged, V10-powered, 580 HP Audi RS6 Avant, but now a camo-free Audi RS6 Sedan has been spied making the rounds in Germany. The new sedan über alles shares a lot of the ultra-Bruce styling present in the wagon version, but also gets revised tail lights and the upturned trunk lid from the RS4. We're wondering what the implications are of an Audi running with the Porsche Panamera when the Porsche boys manage to get their sweaty little hands on a controlling share of VW. [WorldCarFans]

    2008 Audi RS6 Sedan Spotted On Swedish Safari

    The Skoda loving Swedes over at Bilfeber caught a completely undisguised 2009 Audi RS6 Sedan undergoing winter testing in the frozen north. This is the first time we've seen the 580bhp twin turbocharged V10 TFSI engine without a station wagon on its back. Clearly visible are the RS2-style fender flares in addition to R8-influenced lower air intakes. RS6 badging is prevalent on both the interior and exterior. Our favorite part is the roof rack mounted spotlights, although sadly those probably won't reach production.

    First Promotional Video of 2008 Audi RS6 Avant, It Rocks


    We're not sure if this video includes a subliminal ploy by the folks at Audi to show quickly spliced photos of rocks to get us to say that their 2008 RS6 Avant rocks, but we guess it's working on us. Of course, it's just like your average grocery getter (assuming that your average grocery getter is powered by a twin turbocharged V10 TFSI engine good for 580 horsepower).

    Frankfurt Auto Show: Audi RS6 Avant in White

    While we knew the Audi Audi RS6 Avant was coming, we had no idea Bryan Adams was going to belt out an acoustic rendition of Run to You after the cover was pulled on the V10 twin-turbo wagon. As the rest of the presentation was in German the details are still hazy. We do know the world needs more hopped up sportwagons now more than ever. An A4 and A8 were also kicking around coverless. Now with bonus gallery!

    New Video Of 2008 Audi RS6 Avant And This Time It's On The Road!


    After yesterday's static video shots we were aching for more. But oh boy, now Audi's done it — they've given us some on-road footage of the new Audi RS6 Avant to be unveiled this Tuesday at the Frankurt Auto Show (follow the whole shebang live from now until the last sheet drops on Wednesday right here). That's right, we think we may just have had a wagongasm — even if it only was a minute long. If you're even for a moment wondering why — you've got ample explanation here, here and oh yes, here — or even in the photo gallery below. (Hat tip to RGSEIDL) [via Autoblog.nl]

    First Video Of New Audi RS6 Avant Teases Us Before Frankfurt


    Maybe it's the forbidden fruit thing, but even though it's just sitting there and even though we know we won't be getting the new Audi RS6 Avant on these shores, we're still friggin' crushing hard on it — despite the fact we still haven't seen this little super-wagon work it's magic on a roadway. See why here and here — or just look at the pretty pictures below. We can't wait to see this when we get to the Frankfurt Auto Show next week.

    Wagon Wars: Which Ãœber-Wagon Would You Rather Drive?

    There's been a lot of wacky wagon action going on around us over the past 24 hours. We've seen the pre-Frankfurt Auto Show reveals of both the new 580 HP Audi RS6 Avant and the new 457 HP Mercedes C 63 AMG Estate both shoot by us, showing off some incredible hotness. While we're assuming just on a power comparison alone that the new C63 AMG wagon would easily be schooled by the Audi RS6 Avant, we're wondering what the competition might look like if Mercedes dropped a pretty little 600 HP AMG-customized DTM wagon into the mix. Let's presuppose such a wagon exists — if it did, which über-sports wagon would you prefer to drive? Or maybe you'd just prefer a nice beer wagon?
