RS6 better bet than a TTRS/RS3?
« on: January 27, 2011, 08:55:22 pm »
Started looking at these the other week after thinking "what would be better than a V10?"  - A V10 twin turbo :evilgrin:

Saloon versions, fully loaded, low mileage are looking tempting.

650bhp with a remap and a zorst  :drool:

This one looks quite tasty.

After all, I only do around 6-7k miles a year :party:
Golf R gone.

.
The term "better" is somewhat subjective. The RS6 is a massive saloon car and quite different to either the TTRS or the RS3. However, knowing you as I do, I expect you're principally asking which is "better" in performance. If you ask on the VAGOC forum you'll probably find some guys with experience of the RS6 who can give you some real-world info, John  :happy2:

My mate works at the audi training centre in Milton Keynes and he said the RS5 is by far the best RS car Audi make.

I was led to believe its audis most powerful car?

The r8 is the fastest I believe.

But RS6 the most powerful.
