I dont think we can outrun RS6 V10TT easily, it was just too fast, It can't be beat unless you're in and out the corner, AUDI's Q 4WD system always understeer, that's when and where you jump in, However,back to the strait line, it will just pull away...
true the rs6 is very fast but I think this test is just a bit off.
Why: your fighting the rs6 at his best level. from the low revs the rs6 had more torque. also if you would do it from a standing start it would be harder for the rs6. due to his quattro system and weight it would have a much harder time to beat the M5.
But i will admit its a very fast car
Are you joking? Having had the older RS6 and other high powered AWD vehicles...you don't want to mess with them from a dig (standing start) unless you have enough ground to make it up on the top end. Believe me, if it has enough power to build a lead up to 140mph...then it would have only added to the RS6's margin of victory from a dig.
Also for those complaining about 20" rims...come on.. that wasn't going to make a 10lbs extra isn't going to make a difference. What would make a difference is the couple of hundred pounds of added weight the avant has over the sedan. As others have said let's give Audi some credit. It only provides incentive for all the manufacturers to bring out more powerful and higher performing products in the future.

I'm 100% with you, if you try to race an Audi in the rain,
You will feel and know what the difference...

I think in the upcoming videos from your homeland, you will see the mighty Audi act as backmarkers....
They seriously have to think about their whole Quattro story if they want to be serious sports car people. They will never have a serious sports car with Quattro.
You never have enough HP to compensate for the drivetrain losses.

The weight, Quattro are the big issues for this car....
Still, very nice looking. And I feel sorry for the poseur chumps in "sportscars" that are going to get dusted but this thing.

If you wish to continue your path of denial that the E60 M5 is faster than the RS6, you will find no refuge with your fellow Audi enthusiasts when you take a picture with them proclaiming that "Audi Sucks".
This is your chance.....

Holy crap, I never expected that. I forget what magazine tested the r8 against the rs6 recently (25 secs. to 150 mph vs 23 secs for the rs6). The M5 gets to 150 mph in 20.8 seconds or thereabouts, so I thought it would win. Which goes to show, take what you read in magazines with a pinch of salt.
The sad part is this was against the wagon. Based on this clip, imagine what the sedan is capable of.
I'm staying far away from the rs6, for now that is.

Actually, after thinking about this some more, I'm not entirely convinced. I know how easily a mild tweak on a turbocharged motor can easily net 100 bhp. Mtm's already pushing over 700 bhp on the rs6. If indeed it is stock, that's mighty impressive.
