RS6 Audi

[RJB]

So it seems that this car will make an ungodly amount of power when it comes out, of course this is all speculation at this point. So click on the link and read about it at Autoblog.

Just in case Lutz was thinking of backing out of putting 600+ bhp in the next CTS-V( maybe with AWD).

If you think of it this may be in response to Lutz dissing BMW about their M6.

Sorry I ain't buying those figures. 721 ft/lbs of torque?! I really doubt they are punching that power outta a 5.0 V8 gas engine, maybe a high strung diesel but come on that is Duramax territory!

I'm not buying that the AWD system or automatic could handle 721ft/lbs.

Who said it was a V8?

The bi turbo benzes have auto boxes with over 700ft/lbs. I do agree with you that the AWD system can not handle that power.

Believable. Look at what companies VW owns. Bugatti? Lambo? Both have 4wd systems capable of handling alot of power, and engines making alot of power.

And don't forget who owns VW. Another sports car maker with big power and AWD

Nobody owns VW but VW. VAG consists of VW, Bugatti, Bentley, Audi, Lamborghini, Skoda, and SEAT.

If you're talking about Porsche, then that isn't the case. Porsche and VW just co-developed the Touareg/Cayenne platform.

Sorry its an assumption. I figured it was based on their 4.2L V8.

I thought I read something about Porsche buying VW. Maybe they were just in talks to buy VW, I don't know.

Can not wate to smoke one in my auto box equipped CTS-V with AWD :AH-HA_wink:

Oh yeah, I think I remember hearing about some rumor that Porsche was thinking about buying VW...or at least they could if they wanted. But I seriously doubt that would ever happen.
