The Audi RS 6: Will now be sold in Canada

AJAX, ON, Dec. 18 /CNW/ - previously only available in North America in
the U.S. will now be sold in Canada. The company's most powerful model to
date, the RS 6 features an engine producing an amazing 450 horsepower at 6,500
revolutions per minute, making it a world-class luxury sedan with the heart of
a sports car.
The RS 6 is based on the victorious Le Mans R8 racing car that has proved
itself throughout the European race circuit. It will be the pièce de
résistance on the Audi stand at both the Montreal and Toronto auto shows at
the beginning of 2004. RS 6 is among the fastest five passenger sport sedans
ever to enter the North American market and will cost $109,000. Only 90 of
these astonishingly powerful, limited production performance Audis will be
brought to Canada.
Tuned by quattro GmbH, the high-performance arm of Audi AG, the RS 6 is
the first vehicle quattro GmbH has produced for the North American market. The
lineage makes the sleek RS 6 among the fastest five-passenger sport sedans
ever to enter the Canadian market, with a 0-100km/hr time of just 4.7 seconds.
The RS 6 4.2-liter V8 produces an incredible 415 lbs. ft. of available torque
across a wide range of 1,950-5,600 rpm; top speed is electronically governed
at 250km/hr. Electronically controlled waste gates and twin intercoolers
optimize engine performance. Emphasizing sports car-like driving, engineers
specifically tuned a five-speed Tiptronic(R) automatic transmission for the RS
6. The RS 6 driver can also operate the transmission manually in either of two
ways: by briefly pressing the gear selector front or back in the Tiptronic
shift gate, or via race-inspired shift paddles behind the steering wheel.
The ventilated and cross-drilled disc brakes work in tandem with sizeable
Brembo(R) four-pad, eight-piston brake calipers at the front and single-piston
floating calipers at the rear. Front and back brake calipers are painted
black, with the front calipers displaying a unique red and silver RS 6 logo.
The RS 6 exterior exudes sophisticated appeal with its progressive, clean
design.
Below and in front of the aluminum fenders and hood, a low apron houses
three air intake apertures behind diamond-patterned grilles. The two outboard
intakes, flanked by fog lights, provide air for the engine's twin
intercoolers, while the aluminum-trimmed centre air intake is one of two for
engine cooling.

Great strategy from AoA. 1120 in North America, total. Say goodbye to thoughts of deals on the lot! My local dealer can't find any more, and has been told they won't be getting re-allocations. Guess we know where they're going...

No.dot, I don't know you, but I know You'll love this car. Time to pull the trigger!
