Default RS6 Last edition 476 hp V Max 175 mph
A limited edition of 350 units (RS6 Avant) will go for sale in Europe.

No pics yet...but the color combination looks really good!

Default Wow, so it has enough HP for over 190mph, but they've increased the limiter all the way to 175mph?
WOW! </sarcasm>

Default About 155 MPH.
USA speed limiter is usually 153MPH or 155PMH.
You chip the car, and the speed limiter is no longer there. Fast fast fast!!!
