  Audi RS6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Audi RS6 was the top-of-the-line of the 2nd generation (1997-2005) A6, and was available as both a sedan and a wagon (called Avant by Audi).
With the aid of the turbochargers, output rose to 444 hp (331 kW) and 415 ft·lbf (560 Nm) of torque.
The RS6 was available only with Audi's Quattro All-Wheel Drive system and a 5-speed "Tiptronic" transmission, the same unit that was being used in the W12 powered A8, chosen because none of Audi's manual transmissions could cope with the RS6's high torque output.

 First Drive: 2003 Audi RS6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The heart of this incredible Audi (the addition of the R before the S means that it is part of the company's ultimate performance version) is a new engine under the hood.
Audi's contention that the V8 maintains its 415 pound-feet maximum torque across such a wide rev range means that the company has had to severely limit boost.

 2003 Audi RS6 - Ratings & Reviews - Dan Jedlicka - MSN Autos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Audi's proven all-wheel-drive system adds to the weight, which can be felt during quick emergency maneuvers but barely affects the car's agility.
The 415 pound-feet of torque of the RS6 is spread across a wide range of 1,950-5,600 rpm, which translates to instant throttle response at all speeds.
There are red-and-silver "RS6" logos on the grille and trunk lid; they'll mean nothing to average motorists, but the big dual exhaust outlets should indicate to anyone that this is a very serious high-performance car.

 Ti Kan: Audi
Audi's winning legacy in motorsports (from the 1930s Auto Union grand prix cars to rallying, to Trans Am, to IMSA GTO, to DTM, to Super Touring, to today's Le Mans and ALMS tour de force) also amply demonstrate the "unfair advantage" of many of its technologies.
Audi is also one of the most environmentally-conscious automobile makers, with very high recycling content (in the cars themselves as well as in manufacturing waste materials), the first to use water-based paints, and even the use of trees that are past their fruit-bearing age for the wood trims in the interiors.
Audi engineers are not afraid to think outside of the box and Audi drivers buy the cars based on their merits, not on pre-conceived notions of image or prestige.

 2003 Audi RS6 - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine
Audi, God bless 'em, calculated top speed on the basis of engine revs, tire wear, and, it seems, a certain looseness with the speed limiter.
This means that the RS6 can do 155 when the tires are worn but more with fresh tires and their greater mph-to-rpm-ratio.
This quickest-ever Audi is built by wholly owned subsidiary Quattro GmbH, the people behind the RS4 and the RS2, neither of which made it to America.

Why would you get an Audi RS6 chipped?.......Well you would get an Audi Rs6 chipped only if you where off your head :wink: because at Scotts Mototune (portsmouth) are offering a chip and other modifications(SKN).
My dad purchased a chip (£1,465.00) which increases the horse power by 60bhp (which makes it 510bhp) and the free flow exhausts (£1,550.00) which adds 5bhp (which makes it 515bhp) but then they had to put a sports air intake on it which all together made the total output of the horsepower 520bhp.
Those that doubt the Performance of a Sorted RS6 have clearly no experience of being brutaly teffified by the sheer torque and speed.

Audi does not provide any manual transmission, but that's not a big problem considering how torquey the engine is.
For pure handling fun, RS6 is still some way behind M5 and S-Type R. The M5 thrills you with power slide, the Jag inspires you with feelsome steering.
Admittedly, Avant used to be the better seller in the RS6 range, because keener drivers usually choose BMW M5 or Mercedes E55 instead of RS6 sedan.

With the new RS6, Audi has achieved this remarkable feat: already during the DTM-season, in which this extreme sports car was used as a safety car, Laurent Aiello and Christian Abt often used to take the limousine and the Avant for a little ride.
And anyone who thinks that 450 hp is the limit, has to think again: enter the Abt RS6 Avant.
Equally impressive as the driving performance and the increase of the top speed to approximately 280 km/h is the noble understatement of the Abt RS6: it is hiding its strength and its power, easily exceeding the performance of a sports car, under the elegant guise of an Avant.
