    Is that directed to me?

    Mine is most certainly a genuine saloon RS6, and it doesn't have to potter around with a piddly 340bhp either. :D

    Any pics?:D I think there's one for sale on carzone for 20K? Doesn't sound right to me, if i had the money...

    Here you go, as previously posted in the *NON* BMW thread and elsewhere hereabouts-

    That car in Carzone is an S6; double the price and you're in RS6 territory.

    My bad Rovi, I went and did some extra research, I remember searching a couple of years ago on UK autotrader for one and all that was there was avants. So from my research I discovered they were released in 03 as a limited edition, 4.2 twin turbo V8 engine as opposed to the 4.2 V8 non turbo engine in the S6. 450bhp as opposed to 340bhp. I would imagine you have one of the first and only ones in the country. And I want to have sex with it!

    Personally I'm a B5 Audi man, I'll be buying my third one after I get home, spec Phantom Black 00' 1.8TQS 180bhp standard, upgrading to a K04-15 turbo and getting it remapped to about 300bhp, going to get an FMIC, upgraded clutch and exhaust, and a nice BOV to help the turbo and all those extra horsies :D I found one recently and it had alot of this done, but I'm in america and it's since been sold :(

    God i'm shocked at myself. I was looking at the pics and i was thinking to myself, why the hell did he put fake Rs6's wheels on it. Only then it dawned on me :P:cool:
    Absolute stunner and probably the only car in the country with genuine Rs6's on it.:D

    Yep. Apparently, at the time the car was designed/built, Audi didn't have/couldn't find/didn't look for a manual gearbox that could handle the torque (560Mn).
    The new one makes 650Nm of torque, and uses a 6 speed automatic; I haven't heard anything about an 'official' manual gearbox version.

    I agree that the RS4 looks stunning in black but I think the black bit is overdone on your RS4. Don't like the smoked alloys or blacked out windows.

    They cheapen it in my eyes and my God the RS4 is far from cheap so why do that to it? :confused:

    OEM wheels and the windows are only very lightly tinted, just look blacked out with the light shining off them

    That's a pity, i don't know if i would buy a car like that with an auto box, unless it was a very very good one.

    OP - Is the RS4 in your sig actually yours? Everyone's assuming that it is, but you don't appear to have ever actually said. Just curious.

    Dont the Audi "RS" models all have wider wheel arches that the standrad cars, failry easy to pick out a fake TDi from the real deal. I saw quite a few RS4's in Spain recently.

    Lovely sound, nice subtle car, nicer IMo than the BMW or the merc equivalents IMO !

    RS4 1.9TDI
    I was delighted.

    What is the story with these 1.9TDI RS4's?
    I see 3 of them regularly around Blanchardstown/Clonee/Dunboyne.

    Is it just a badge the owners put on it themselves?
    Or is it part of a bodykit?
    Surely Audi wouldn't do that to a car?

    We had a big thread about this some where... They're all wanna be's. There's no such thing, there all just buying off ebay.

    It's even more easy than that, as most of the cars with these kits on are B6 A4's, of which there was no RS4 model ;)
