Hm. Last I checked (from a couple other magazines), the Gallardo had 88mm bore spacing, just like the old I-5's.....

Also, I doubt the S6 would have the 450hp 4.2tt, it'd be too close to the RS6 (the M5 V10 is slated to have as much as 500hp, so look for the RS to have right around there too). The 3.2L and 4.2L A6 only come with a 6spd Tiptronic...45kEUR and 60kEUR respectively. Kinda high, compared to the current cars in the US.

Default Did you get a look at that interior?

UGLY! Audi's have always led the pack when it came to designing classy interiors. This panel is awful. And the outside isn't better than the old, just different. This is not encouraging....
