Default Audi RS6 Testing At Nürburgring Spied !!!




To go up against Mercedes E63 AMG and BMWs M5, Audi is planning to offer the hot RS6. Priddy’s ninjas caught it here, at the Nrburgring, while it was undergoing some late prototype testing this week.

The larger air intakes in the front bumper and the wider fenders and diffuser at the rear, are the key clues as to the true identity of this Audi. And while the S models have four round exhaust pipes, the RS models will receive oval pipes as their distinguishing feature.

We have heard that the rumors about a twin turbo V10 are false, and that the RS6 will instead be powered by a blown V8 producing over 600hp. Could Audi finally be joining the proverbial German horsepower pissing contest? We can only hope!

The RS6 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September

Interesting camo Audi is using, same sort of camo that Detroit automakers typically use.

Don't they realize that Audi entered into the horsepower pissing contest about a decade ago.

I think the S6 is just way too tame in the styling department. I hope this is much more aggresive to look at.

Me thinks the S8 is PERFECT to look at.

I wonder if they will make an RS8 or thats going to confuse people with the new R8.

Honestly what they going to call the R8 if they add more power and make it more sporty? R8S?

Damn, you can see the fender bulges front and rear!! Looks awsome (though that camo is dizzying).

I LOVED the previous RS6 as well. Such sweet cars.

I was about to say, they NEED that camo to hide those hard-core fender bulges! They looks great!

I wonder what made them sway from the V10? The S8 uses a detuned version of the Gallardo V10... I figured they would go that same route with the RS6.
