<b> The RS 6 "Competition" was developed to meet Speedvision World Speed Challenge GT rules for the 2004 season. The 2004 version of the Certified Audi RS 6 will be significantly different in appearance from the 2003 and performance has undergone a major renovation in order to stay competitive with new factory entries. One of the major changes to the Audi is with the addition of the 305 sized Toyo RA-1 tires. While increasing the width of the tire is beneficial to Audi's all-wheel drive system, it does come at a cost. The 2004 RS 6 will continue to be powered by a 4.2 liter, V8, bi-turbo engine but the boost will be reduced in comparison to last year.

<b> And the post-mortem...
"After winning the Manufacturer and Driver Championships in 2003 and the Manufacturer Championship in the 2004 Speed World Challenge GT Series with our Audi RS 6 race cars, 2005 is a year for us to look to the future. The RS 6 was a limited edition car in North America and no longer sold here.
