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 ?

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
