    S Tronic in the Q5 sounds good. Been driving a Q7 lately and really couldn't live full time with the tiptronic box.

    Actually the Q7 tip box is much better than the one on the Cayenne...

    Andrea,

    Sorry to say this, but most of the info of THAT Audi forum were your info came from proved to be NOT accurate...

    Remember some "deep throats" there who were talking about 450hp V8 in R8? And that weight of R8 will be maximally 1500kg??

    Most of the rumors there are pure "wishfull dreaming"...

    Re: Last RS6 rumor

    Let's say this...

    Current S6 weights 2000kg's. So, biturbo V10 will weight even more...

    So, what do you think V8 biturbo or V10 biturbo in new RS6?

    Also, 7speed S-Tronic or 6speed Tiptronic in new RS6?


    One other thing-if RS6 will truly feature V10 biturbo it will then weight around 2100kg(!) and fuel consumption will be higher(!!) then on Cayenne Turbo...

    Re: Last RS6 rumor

    heh.. ok:)
    I guess it will be the V8-biturbo with 7Speeds S-Tronic
    At least the info about the amount of hp is correct ? 580?

    So it's not going to be using the 4.2, but the Gallardo V10?

    No. Gallardo's V10(4961ccm) is pretty different... It will use little bit smaller version of S6/S8 engine with FSI and biturbo. Bore is little bit smaller since biturbo puts a lot of pressure on the material... All in all it is a new engine.

    Wow, 580 hp.

    Real good option for people like me with 3 kids. I'd take AUDI over MB and BMW any day.

    Re: Last RS6 rumor

    2000 kg dry weight? Damn it is so heavy. M5 has 250kg less weight.

    Btw dont be fooled by 580hp, if it has tiptronic (if not s-tronic or whatever) as Kreso mentioned , that audi tiptronic tranny is a huge power abosorber with quattro combination!!
