are more in line here. I mean, how fast can you or do you really want a car to go in the 0-60 range? Especially one that isn't a dedicated sports car.

i want to say(mostly just hopes and dreams) that they might pop this into the R8, or possibly make another R8-esque supercar called the R10 with this engine.

that is just my mind being hopeful after looking at the beauty posted above.

"The new Audi RS 6 will therefore only be available as an Avant to start with. . ."

I think this leaves the door open for a sedan version that could be certified for US consumption based on the number of cars sold in Europe and the rest of the world that European models can be sold.

In other words, I think they'll (AoA)bring it to the US if there's enough available production from the factory and there's enough demand here in the US.

On another note, I wonder how many RS6's would've sold had they been available in a 6MT back in 03?
