Whoa! New Audi RS6 To Have 571HP

Audi’s new RS6 will blow away the competition when it hits the street with a supercar rivaling 571hp output derived from its twin-turbo V10 engine. Vehicle registration details from an inside source reveal specific information about the new Audi model including engine capacity and specific outputs.

The last three numbers of vehicle chassis codes for the new RS6, ‘Audi AG 4F 7967 21 AAJ N31 N30 579 426 5002’ reveal that the car will have 579ps (metric horsepower rating), which is roughly equivalent to 571hp. The second last number describes the rating in kilowatts, in this case 426kw, and the last number is the engine capacity, 5002cc.

A definite M5 and E63 killer.

Not too sure about it being an M5 or E63 killer. The previous S6 had 50hp more than the previous M5 and still was slower mid to high end due to AWD. The hp percentage difference remains the same so it is safe to assume the same outcome or being a close call. Not trying to hate on the RS6, I love it actually.

"Handling all this power will be a six-speed ZF automatic transmission and quattro AWD that will also have to deal with all 1,000Nm of torque. Powerful carbon-ceramic brakes will be available as an option as well as a possible DSG transmission, reports Auto Motor and Sport."

Note: The RS6 is not going to have a 1000Nm of torque, they are referring to the ZF transmission's limit. And I would be very surprised if quattro GmbH has developed an all-new DSG (now called S-tronic) for the RS6....

The Lexus GS will destroy that thing. Nice try MB.

In a 3-way race, AUDI will win, MB will place, and your GS will show.
