Vorsprung durch Technik, ah ha! Is it just me or does Audi have one of the best slogans around? If this car’s grill could open up it might accidentally ingest pedestrians, good car for transformers I think. Give the thing NOS and it will literally become a sleeping dragon with flames coming out of the large exhausts!

Aimed at pious:

thats the whole point of Audi. Its conservative but itll rip your head off if you want it to. Hence why the RS4 is Subtle in its differences.. If you want gills and fins youre looking at the wrong car.

I love this car. MTM have already chipped and exhaust the wagon to produce 710hp and 0-100 in 3.9

what a “family” car :p who says the dog in the wagon doesnt want to go fast too?

Oh how true. But, like the Ring, you have to pay $10 or so to go on it, so only performance cars can ride it. No people carriers, Kia Rios, trucks, vans, or old couples in Toyota Camrys. Blegh!

Oh, and Pious, do you not know what a sleeper is?

Thats why people buy fast Audis, you dingbat.

Definitely! Oz needs an Autobahn!

Pity it’d never happen…

Lets build an autobahn in Oz – From Perth to Brissy with every capital city in between. 110 is too slow – no wonder drivers fall asleep.

Shame (as the article says) it looks the same as the A6, which is pretty poxy performance wise. I’m not too much of a show pony, but if I am paying a $120K plus premium over the base model, I’d want to be able to see if from the outside without having to take out a tape measure on the grill. Otherwise it is just a matter of dragging people off, and if I wasnt too old to be doing that, I may as well get an EVO for fun plus a $150K lux car that actually looks the goods.

Drool…

I love the “Hands behind your head!” chairs.

An Avant for me please.

Hmm…

An RS6 or W427 (*snigger*). I mean, $225K to $155K may seem a big difference, but when you break it down into lease payments per month, the difference is far, far less.

Can’t wait to see an M5 VS RS6 VS W427 comparison and see the results… the Germans are usually pretty conservative with their performance times, whilst HSV do the opposite.

Magnificent machines these RS6′s, shame we can’t enjoy them in Aus. No autobahns, no point, no reason, useless except for enthusiasts, posers or Northern Territorians. But I’d have one in a flash in Germany.
