Default Sorry RS6...

The forthcoming MB E55 has it beat, numbers-wise. Of course, the E55 doesn't have AWD and will probably be even more expensive than the RS6 (not that it matters). There will probably be more of them available than the RS6, too.<ul><li><a href="http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&amp;cat_code=car news&amp;loc_code=&amp;content_code=03636830">http ://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&amp;cat_code=car news&amp;loc_code=&amp;content_code=03636830</a

Default 4.6 to 60 for the RS6, that says 4.7 ;- ) RS6 looks better imo.

Is that it's intended mark? Or will the RS8 take care of the E-class?

Default Wow. Bet that thing is 400 lbs. lighter than an RS6 too...

...once the cars get off the line (where there going to be pretty even thanks to quattro), that should leave the RS6 sucking exhaust fumes.

Default It begs to question, will we see an RS8 with ASF on the NEW A8 platfrom?

considering an RS8 has never existed on the current platform....maybe tehy should start early in designing the next S8 or first RS8.
