Cool video, like the CF roof.

In the still shots at the end, did those wheels remind anyone else of the e39 m5 wheels?

Maybe this RS6 will change my mind on the matter.

But Audi did a stupendous job with the RS4 so let's see what happens. I wonder where the power war will end..two extra cylinders on both cars from previous gen. Now add turbos, etc..

Maybe its just me but I dont think 30 hp is "significant" in any car over 300hp

Audi leaves room for boost and chips which would probably put it near 600hp (IMO), not to mention it's torque number will be far higher then the pathetic M5 number.

that horsepower number has to be from a naturally aspirated motor, a v10 with TTs should put HP #s in the high 600s

not necessarily at all, boosted cars don't have to push insanely high numbers. I've done a couple FI motors and you can make huge adjustments.....especially with a car carrying a warranty you don't want to go insane. Leave that to the buyer later, at the Manf aftermarket department.

im not saying it wont approch 580-600hp w/mods. Im just saying the way it was phrased saying that 530hp vs 500hp in my eyes does equal a "significant" advantage.

and funny how a twin turbo 335i only gave a 40hp increase from the 330i.. but oh let me tell you, the difference is NOT in HP... ever drive a car with a ton of torque? THe M5 motor is very peaky having owned one. Audi motors with turbo's have an incredible power band all through the rev range.
