....RS6 V10 is now, from mid £30k's. That is serious value for money.  They are stupidly quick, I test drove one when I had my RS4 in or a service! 700bhp from a remap. My V8 RS4 averaged 17ish mpg, what would a V10 average!

Oli, I think the Torrey Canyon and Exxon Valdez were cheaper to run than the RS6.  :wink:

Runnig costs would be insane though wouldnt they. Would have to make sure you had an absolutely astounding aftermarket warranty.

Agreed on all accounts, and I won't be getting one, just can't believe what good value they are!

It's a nice car, certainly get a lot for your money at that price. Doesn't sound too great though, hate the way on some cars how turbo's take away the noise!

Just over two weeks ago, I was pulling out of my residential road onto the wider B road that runs adjacent to my house in a bleary eyed manner. I'm glad I stopped at the junction and took a second look as one of these in 2003 plate Avant & dark blue guise had just started screaming up the road hitting near motorway speeds. The sound was quite something that early in the morning Ian!  :evilgrin:

My friend had one, just been part ex'd with a Nissan GT-R and he much preferred the GTR, said he was lucky to get 13mpg out of the RS6  :signLOL:

He managed to get more from the 911 turbo he had before it.
