Meet the most powerful car in the world. In fact, knowing the car is the most powerful production Audi of all time.
That is true, 2008 Audi V10 RS6 Avant features a new 580-hp twin-turbo 5.0-liter V10, and conveniently outguns spectacular 2008 Audi R8 sports car with 420-hp 4.2-liter V8.
Factor attack on their behavior in the field of art and find 2008 Audi RS6 Avant is a good deal faster in a straight line, the R8 as well.
Born with door
It is no surprise that the latest Audi performance show more scandalous was born as a car. No car in recent years placed great emphasis on the production of elegant trucks, even though they are largely ignored by American buyers. Version of the RS6 sedan is perhaps headed our way to America, but now the new Audi will be sold as a wagon, and the majority of sales expected in Europe.
But if the new generation Audi V10 RS6 is second only to leave any lasting impression, it must prove something more than the rapid development of S6, which is largely based. Also be shown to be more driver-oriented than its predecessor, one-dimensional, not very attracted to real enthusiasts, despite its 480-hp twin-turbo 4.2-liter V8. The car was fast – damn fast – but not a lot of fun off the road, wide multilane.
It’s hard to think of a car that went through a long list of mechanical and cosmetic changes such as this. Somewhere beneath all that lies the body swells ordinary Audi S6 Avant, but not as you know. In fact, it is better to think about this new Audi as an all-new model, this change is the global nature of younger siblings.
Personality Transplant
Firstly, it is equipped RS6 Quattro GmbH, Audi performance division is still active in Neckarsulm, a company based on the likes of renowned BMW M GmbH and operation of Mercedes-Benz AMG Skunkworks.
Great attention was paid to the engine. This development is 5204 cc aspirated V10 previously seen in S6, while maintaining hole 84.5 mm, 89.0 mm of travel is significantly lower, resulting in a total displacement of 4991 cc. Strapping offers 580 hp from 6250 rpm and 6700 rpm. / Min, and there is hit 479 pounds-feet of torque from 1500 rpm to 6250 rpm. / Min.
There are plenty of internal adjustments to the power at your fingertips, most are also two IHI turbochargers and the corresponding pair of intercooler. Turbo strengthen maxes out at 10 psi, and delivers up to 116 hp / liter. This is not the highest reached Audi road car – RS4 2000 twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 fighting a staggering 145 hp per liter – but still enough to RS6 stonking more than 145 hp S6 was really fast.
In game
This power should be enough for people to sit and take note. But he has also improved Audi RS6 views, making it one of the most aggressive of the four-door car on the road today.
The shape of the nose was determined primarily by the need to maximize the cooling air, preferably within the engine compartment and front brakes. There is a new front bumper with deep intake ducts and a major producer crossover aerodynamic downforce. Giving so much space for air supply is possible, fog took over the main beams.
Honeycomb lattice can be used either in black or satin aluminum finish, and dramatizes the front fenders and rocker burned large tracts of the threshold. Back to subtle spoiler on the roof and bumper, which includes both large aerodynamic diffuser and two large oval exhausts.
The test car’s optional 20-inch wheels with 275/35R20 tires perfectly fill in the extended wheel arches, and would not be surprised if it turned out to be more popular than the standard 19-inch wheels 255/40R19 tires.
RS6 Avant is the braking system to adjust its prodigious weight 4464 pounds, with rotors measuring 15.4 inches front and 14.0 inches rear. For those who choose to 20.0-inch wheels, there is an optional brake rotor carbon-ceramic as a mammoth 16.5-inch front with six-piston discs and 14.0 inches rear. Carbon-ceramic discs also contribute to reduce unsprung weight of 26.5 pounds.
Yes, pull
Forget that the RS6 is capable of carrying up to five adults and a considerable amount of luggage. It’s brutally fast cars of all scales. There is no magic trick to get performance in a straight line. Simply place your right foot down against the gas pedal strongly arched and hang on tightly to the beautiful flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel. The rest is taken care of a standard six-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles and traditional Remote Audi four-wheel drive system.
Since the start of nasty technology – shaping gearlever all in manual mode, winding speed and overcome the brakes – is a mechanical back horrible blow through the unit, followed by an immediate tires squeal as the match to hold all the torque to be transferred to the asphalt thrown on the road.
Audi claims 100 kmh (62 mph), comes in 4.6 seconds, 200 km / h (124 mph), comes to 14.9 seconds. Maximum speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, although Audi RS6 owners the ability to extend it to 174 mph. You’ll be glad to Stephan Reil, Head RS6 development, says that he saw 205 mph during the final testing of a prototype of secret motorway at the end of last year.
Motor truly steals the show. There are significant increases over 1000 rpm and since then, the floodgates opened. Midrange power is unbearable pressure on the horizon, the power set of hard to believe. It’s rare that a turbo engine feels so strong at the top, as it is below, but the V10 RS6 is still beating hard with baritone blare, when rev limiter cuts in suddenly to 6800 rpm. / Min.
Simply Fast
In the RS6 as an extremely fast car with traction colossal time, no real aspirations as a sports car with a quick response crack the whip. Although they feel more at home in a straight line, but also can absorb the twisting road, with impressive speed. Traction tires and what is achievable road safety, and suspension type of hardware that you will not only control the ride quality at three different levels – Comfort, Dynamic and Sport – but also to ensure the movement of the body is always good to see how you throw the car into corner.
Four-wheel-drive system has been redesigned to offer 40 percent of the nominal front/60 percent rear torque split. It guarantees purchase of a massive, but the car handles with a neutral position, even at high speeds in bends. The procedure is quick at 2.2 turns lock to lock and the center has more than feel obliged to S6 revised hydraulic pump. Brakes are perfect, and still feel strong, even after being hammered round after round on the race track.
The last word on the new arrangements über Audi, however, must go to Stephan Reil, who says that once back at the Nurburgring at 8:09, about 20 seconds faster than the previous generation RS6.
Seats for serious road Serious
The combination of luxurious leather, aluminum and carbon fiber trim accents, RS6, not just a road corridor. As expected, the interior offers a driving environment of luxury, as usual aspirated V10-powered S6.
The front seats are new. They are rampant, hard-shell items, which provide plenty of support. Audi also added stop / start button between the front seat of a car fire, twin-turbo 5.2-liter V10 and worked on driving a car wheel. The size and flat-style day of motorsport. Initially it is a little weird to go through his fingers, but you get used to it.
Total interior space is the same as the S6, which means space for four adults generous. Sedan offers 19.3 meters cubic luggage compartment, while the wagon has 20 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the bench, second, and 58.6 cubic feet when the rear seats folded.
