    New RS6 caught testing...

    http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Audi_News/article_3026.shtml

    This time, Fortitude suggests a far less conservative 600-650hp (!!! !!!).
    If so, could really crush them all...

    Re: New RS6 caught testing...

    650 BHP in an estate. Is it just me, or is this horsepower-BS getting out of hand?
    Who are these cars made for? Dentists and lawyers who like to hang out in cafés after hours and brag about the potential speed their car could deliver at Nürburgring...had they not lagged the skill to actually make use of the car's abilities...---???

    I really - REALLY - like the whole idea of the Audi RS4 Avant and the fact that "family cars" can be muscle cars, too.
    But there's a difference between making a fast 400 BHP estate - which in itself is a silly, but cool idea - and then creating a 600+ avant that no normal driver will have use for.
    It's getting out of hand.

    yea it's getting stupid actually, but I guess it is easiest way to convince people that the car they drive now is crap and that they must buy a new one.

    I have never made a horsepower I don't like yet. Seriously, I don't think I will ever complaint about more power, especially if it is in a AWD package.
