Just finished this ´today ,and some short summaries, vidoees will follow tommorrow.

  • Gallardo LP560-4 is VERY fast, not your "going even with the BMW M5" Gallardo. Very fast and nice
  • Audi RS6 Avant: I was suprised, the Audi is just plain faster than the BMW M5 Sedan, however the BMW M5 gains a bit between 240 and 270 km/h but not enough to win over the Audi. So RS6 is a fast car, faster than I thought for sure. Impressive that 4WD and automatic can beat an M5 and a stock M5 Touring would not be able to beatr an RS6 Avant. I guess 580 HP is 580 HP :7:
  • Gallardo SE is faster than Gallardo 500 HP E Gear, that is clear. But the LP560-4 is on another level.
  • 997 Turbo (manual) is getting walked quite easy by the LP560-4
All in all, a great day and the RS6 surprised and the 560-4 is not your Gallardo caferacer: it is fast :checkeredflag:

Stay tuned for videos :grinyes:

Wow. A whole new generation of supercars. No surprise about the LP-560, that thing is insanely fast especially if it's walking the 997 Turbo easily.

But Audi RS6 Avant? The wagon version? Can't believe that they actually and finally beat us...May the next F10 M5 absolutely rape Audi.

I had the new RS6 on an extended test drive, just a month ago and that's the feeling i had. In the top end, the M5 may be quicker but not up to 120 mph.. that thing has a lot of torque and i took it to speed limiter (on a private race track of course) I didn't have the opportunity to race e60 M5 but my feeling is that it takes the very top end speed for the M5 to pass RS6..

Hi,

Sorry I missed the event yesterday - it looks like a great time as always.

A friend came by with a RS6 he borrowed from the dealer. A couple of observations when comparing to my M5 Touring (tuned by RPI and Supersprint):

- RS6 is unbeatable from standing start. It was raining today and it was totally impossible to have a chance against it.
- RS6 has increadible traction and it is very difficult to force any oversteer. M5 would not have a chance against it on a wet/snowy track.
- the rolling start were more equal. When I used S5 I was barely hanging on to him between 50/100-200 km/h. When I used S6 I was even up to 200 and then started to pull. Between 200 and 300 km/h, the Touring was faster.

The RS6 is:
- much quiter than standard M5 and dead silence compared to my Supersprint Touring
- feels more like a S6/S8 type of car.
- Steering is not as direct as in the M5
- Brakes a bit weaker than my standard discs with Pagids.
- gear paddles sits too low on the steering wheel forcing you too shift with your pinkies. It was very hard to manually change gears as the gearbox changed automatically as soon as you were in the readline area and the lack of engine noise made it hard to hear when it was time to shift.
- really missed HUD in the RS6. The speedometer sits to the right and at 200+ it is impossible to get an accurate reading as the meter hides behind the steering wheel/your hands.

Final verdict?
- RS6 in the fall, winter and on the ice
- M5 in the spring, summer and on the track

Damn!!! :eek:h: Is it me not seeing clearly or did the hood unlock at +320km/h:confused2? You could actually see the error code and the 7th gear flashing on & off! That's insane!!!

It's a bit strange that the BMW M5 with Dinan exhaust and modified ECU also wasn't able to keep up with the RS6, is there also a movie of?

When you compare the sprint: BMW M5 with Dinan exhaust and modified ECU vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)
With the sprint: Audi RS6 Avant vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)
It looks like the GT3 had more problems with keeping up with the M5 then RS6?

I can translate since i wrote it. "Its fun to be at 3rd gear and step on it and see the rs6 close up behind up to 250-260km/h. Considering it has twin turbos it'll be alot easier to tune, therefor we will have problem to keep up :( Unless you don't have unlimited funds to buy a g power superchargerkit :)" Hmm i just thought of ASR nos kit now..

I raced an LP-560 this summer and its fast...really fast
Its as fast as a 997GT2
I see no how an M5/M6 can out run it . It takes off really fast from low speeds and maintanes it all the way to 200mph
I'm enclosing my vid as a refresher and in this rn the LP-560 hit 200mph
