I got the RS6 article?
New Audi RS6 to have 571HP
Audi’s new RS6 will blow away the competition when it hits the street with a supercar rivaling 571hp output derived from its twin-turbo V10 engine. Vehicle registration details from an inside source reveal specific information about the new Audi model including engine capacity and specific outputs.
The last three numbers of vehicle chassis codes for the new RS6, ‘Audi AG 4F 7967 21 AAJ N31 N30 579 426 5002’ reveal that the car will have 579ps (metric horsepower rating), which is roughly equivalent to 571hp. The second last number describes the rating in kilowatts, in this case 426kw, and the last number is the engine capacity, 5002cc.
Handling all this power will be a six-speed ZF automatic transmission and quattro AWD that will also have to deal with all 1,000Nm of torque. Powerful carbon-ceramic brakes will be available as an option as well as a possible DSG transmission, reports Auto Motor and Sport.
Following the release of the regular sedan and Avant models of the RS6, Audi is expected to launch a ‘Plus’ version with even more power. Current estimates are around the 620 to 635hp. Beyond this, the same twin-turbo powerplant will make its way into a high-performance RS version of the R8 super-sports car.

I know........ that is what I posted. It says Audi is bosting its new RS6, M5 killer with a v10 and twin turbos........... the objective of my post was a synical question as to what happens when BMW adds twin turbos to its V10??? Saying that Audi bragging about its 571hp twin turbo V10 is not really that great, when BMW could feesably add 120-150 hp with the addition of a twin turbo set up.
Oh I see what you did there... lol
My latest 'Wheels' mag has an article about the "M5 Basher" - the 7L V8 with, I think, 385kw. Currently in the Corvette or something like that, it will be coming down under for our HSV range. Everything is out to get the M5, but the ultimate question is about how well the competition is constructed me thinks.
