The next era of RS6

The second generation of Audi RS6 was launched in 2008. It was available as an avant and also as a sedan. It's 5 litre V10 biturbo engine produced 426 kilowatts(579 HP) at 6250 to 6700 rpm and 650 NM of torque from 1500 to 6250 rpm. It took the C6 RS6 avant 4.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h and the sedan was 0.1 seconds faster to 100 km/h. It eventually reached 310 km/h. A notable feature with this model was the Digital Audio Broadcasting - digital radio tuner with DVD-based satellite navigation and Multi Media Interface with optional hybrid digital/analogue TV tuner. The car itself weighed about 2025 kg, which is enourmous. The avant is named one of the best family/sports car in that section of cars, because it really provided room for the whole family and after 5 people were pushed into the car, you could even fit shopping bags and many other things into the car. All of these RS6 models get a high performance 4 wheel drive system from quattro GmbH, which is believed to be one of the best 4wd systems. The fuel consumption is a real shame - 13.9 litres per 100km. It's nice to have a 580 HP car in your garage, but I doubt that you will drive it around while trying to minimize the fuel consumption, so it's obvious that if you have that kind of a car, you will eventually push it and the fuel consumption will empty your wallet faster than you can earn it back. But it's not a big deal, as the sound and the emotions of riding this car are overwhelming.
There was also a RS6 plus model and they produced only 500 of them, but unfortunately I don't have any more information on it, but it's supposed to be faster and with greater additions. There's even a picture of it from a carshow:

The first generation of Audi RS6

For years I have been passionate about cars, especially expensive luxury cars, so I thought that I could make my own blog, to show You my love for these cars. This is something new for me, but I think many people can relate to my vision of these cars and boats and overall way of luxurious life. The things I'm going to talk about include yachts, private jets, big houses, different car rallies and so on. Since I haven't driven any of these cars or yachts or jets, I'm not going to review them, I'm just going to list their specifications and show you some pictures of them. Specifications consist of:
  • engine and power(gearbox, torque)
  • combined(average) fuel consumption in litres per 100km
  • price of the car in euros(it may differ by country)
  • pictures of exterior and interior
I'm mostly going to talk about the cars that I love or like(and there are many of these cars).

 I would like to start off with one of my favorite piece of art of all times - the RS6, which was launched in 2002. It's also known as a wolf in sheep's clothing because when it lacks in making that car visible for others, it compensates it with the power and sound of the car, making everyone surprised or whatsoever. The first RS6 was a five-door five-seat avant(universal) and also a four-door five-seat sedan, which did 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds with it's biturbo V8 petrol engine. The V8 produced 331 kilowatts(450 HP) at 5700 to 6400 rpm and generated 580NM of torque at 1950 to 5600 rpm. The RS6 has always been provided by Audi's very own 4-wheel drive system by quattro GmbH. The average fuel consumption is 14.6 litres per 100 kilometres. True audi lovers can get this piece of machinery for as little as 10000 euros, which is not bad for a car with numbers like this.There was also an Audi RS6 plus version, which produced 350 kilowatts(476 HP) at 6000-6400 rpm with 580 NM of torque at 1950-6000 rpm. It took the RS6 plus 4.4 seconds to reach 100 km/h with top speed of 280 km/h. The fuel consumption was about the same, the only difference was made in the ECU. The plus was only available as an avant and it didn't look any different than the usual RS6 avant, as you can see from the last picture of this post.
