Default Rare 2008 RS6 test drive VIDEO and pix!

OH MAN! I had the luck to test drive the new 2008 RS6.... i am speechless. Forget that this is a car. This is NOT a car anymore. This is a ROCKET! And i mean it. You simply CANNOT go SLOW with this thing. The acceleration... You have to feel it to believe it. It does not compare to anything i have experienced before. The suspension in Sport mode is unbearably stiff, it is throwing you around in your seats. Comfort mode is 'nice'. Steering is kind of 'heavy' and it is good that way, with all this power. The rumble of the engine pumps your adrenaline high. The smallest blip of gas makes your head bump into your headrest. The brakes defy physics. Forget 'traveling' from A to B. This is FLYING. This car is beyond this world. I wonder why anyone would buy this beast. The only answer: he wants to fly around and be high all day.
Let the pictures and the video speak for themselves (link at the bottom):

Default Any more pics of the white A6 Avant w/ RS4s at the left end . . .

. . . of the row in the first pic? Looks like the only twin of my car I've seen to date. Just curious for a closer look. Sweet post on the new RS6!!!

Default As far as I remember it was a B8 A4, definitely not an RS4 (as it is not manufactured anymore) and

this was the new-car-only section of the dealership.

Default No, the one at the left end of the row is an A6 Avant

It's has RS4-style wheels. I have that very car, just wanted to see if you had additional pics of it.

Default What grill badge is on that car in the lot? S6?

It almost looks like our RS badge with more red than the S-Line one on yours, and not just a quattro badge.
