April 2008 is the month to keep an eye on, because that will signify the showroom launch of the new Audi RS 6 Avant, Audi's most potent car ever (not counting the Audi R10 TDI LaMans racer). Audi's new family sports wagon produces an astounding 580 hp (426 kW) from a newly developed V10 FSI engine with torque peaking at 650 Nm at 6700 rpm. The new TwinTurbo V10 FSI is based on the V10 found in the S6 and S8 but has been redeveloped in almost every single aspect to attain this new level of performance.
Needless to say that its performance times are impressive and comparible to super cars. 0-100 km/h takes just 4.6 seconds and 0-200 km/h in just 14.9 seconds with and only stops at 250 km/h because of its speed limiter. And while the car weighs in at 2,025 kg, the power-to-weight ratio is just 3.5 kg to every horsepower.

NO. Maybe Geneva 2008 with full A6/S6 facelift.
BTW, engine is totally new 5.0L V10 FSI Bi-turbo...
Other than the turbos the 5.0L engine is not the one in S6 & S8 ?
NO. Different materials and features(dry sump!)... Now, imagine this engine in R10 with 7speed S-Tronic..
Re: New Audi RS6 Avant
Oh, I forgot-300km/h delimiting option and biggest 420mm Ceramic front brakes on all current cars with totally new calipers, rears are 356mm Ceramics with 4piston calipers.
Uh... I like it a lot... Only one question-this one or to wait 50kg lighter sedan version(if they build it)?

Re: New Audi RS6 Avant
You're not "worried" about the weight Kreso?
This sounds promising though:

When accelerating, of course, its dual-branch exhaust system with two oval tailpipes produces that sonorous sporty, throaty sound - an essential feature of a high-performance automobile. Those who wish to enhance this daily delight for the ears even further may opt for the alternative sports exhaust system.

How about it Ron, unlike the R8 you can bring your boys in this car.
(Not to mention that you can probably smoke a R8 at the lights in the RS6)
I know of at least one member of your family that would approve of the RS6
Very impressive and a viable option but I'm just hoping they'll make the Sedan version too

Re: New Audi RS6 Avant
I would be very surprised if it doesn't become available as a sedan since both the previous RS6 and the current RS4 and S6 is available as a sedan. And most importantly, the M5 and E63 AMG are both available in sedan form.
I'm sure Kreso can shed some light on when the RS6 Sedan will be available.

Re: New Audi RS6 Avant
RS6 Sedan(but, this info is NOT 100%) could be introduced at Geneva 2008 together with A/S6 facelift(different exterior rear view mirrors a la RS6 and new tail lights on sedan)...
RS6 Avant gearbox in 6speed TIP. S-Tronic(DSG) with 7gears that could cope with that much power and torque is still very unreliable and we have to wait(maybe forever!) for its intro. Keep in mind that even Porsche is having a hard time with this 7speed PDK(very close relative to 7speed S-Tronic or DSG)...
