Sarnie Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 On my search for supercar performance combined with a pram friendly boot ( ) I came across this 536 bhp estate http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/568130.htm Surely not................... Quote
Sarnie Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 Easy in an RS6! 568 bhp: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/351750.htm Bloody hell, maybe this family car lark can be fun Quote

Trev-the-Rev Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 A mate of mine had one of these and apart from the fuel consumption (17 mpg average) is was an extremely quick and good handling car. And as for the sound from that V8 Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 There's a RS6 unmarked police car in Scotland Quote
Chris`I Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 568bhp and 630lb ft torque THere is a reason this is called the Daddy wagon Quote
S1 HNK Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 awesome machine!! i remember the old press ad for the original RS2, with the slogan " my other cars a porsche but today im in a hurry" Quote
funkymofo Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I will own one of these in my lifetime! 530bhp is what most claim with just an ehaust and re-map. They dont handle though - at all! Quote

That's not my experience of them. I accept they're a big old bus and not exactly agile through the tight and twisties, but I found them to be very well planted through fast sweepers and overall very stable. Quote

What about the saloons and not the estates? Quote
funkymofo Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I know someone who had one (saloon) and he said it was rubbish and just understeered everywhere. This would support your statement of them feeling very planted at high speed though I suppose. The understeer is probably nothing a set of uprated ARB's wouldnt sort out though. They arent built for twisties though as already stated, pretty much one of the best long distance cruisers going IMO. It is worth noting that I have never driven one, so my opinion is only based on what I have heard from those who have! Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 The brand new RS6 is even quicker again What about an M5 touring? Quote
leon britton Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 My six eggs would be a stunning car ,my missus owns s4 cab and it ticks all the boxes. I remember turning up at a track day a while ago there was an older guy there with the avant ,he told me his missus hated him doing track days and to grow up and get something they all could go out in including the dog.He swaps his road wheels for track day owns (which he can easily fit tin the huge boot ) then he goes out with the biggest grin on his face you ever have seen and whoops every one there (made me smile) Quote
oliie Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Niceee even though the head says 535d touring instead... Quote

GC350z Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 new rs6 is 572bhp out of the box !! I want some of that I don't. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 new rs6 is 572bhp out of the box !! I want some of that I don't. Why on earth not?? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 £77k for an estate though I agree it's too much money for what it is, but I was refering to the experience of having 572 bhp under your right foot. Quote

S1 HNK Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 its alot of horsepower but it does weigh in at over 2.5 tonnes which does put a pretty big dent on all that power. i think they look very cool, but 80k for an estate...you gotta be crazy or really love your dogs! Quote
