Picked up my new car this weekend........955hp V10 Audi RS6! (HP figure updated 08/10/22)

SlickRick - 390mm but I may go to 420mm is the AP's can't cope but I hope I don't have to, it gets very pricey!

CaptinRave - You missed the additional Gearbox re-map which was £500 and gives you a 7K limit, improved "safe" torque limits etc.

It also gave me a measured 3mpg better economy too, even with the extra hooning I did on the way home so I'm now upto 22mpg on a motorway which isn't bad considering :eek:

Here's the Dyno graph -

390mm, that is crazy! :eek:

Man you are going to have some fun in that. :D I love it, I don't usually like black wheels but I think it looks great on that.

Enjoy it, but don't lose your licence! :p

Looking good Ian... A mate of mine has the older version and that's about 680BHP!!! Its utterly mental, it actually makes you feel sick being the passenger when he guns it, like someone is sitting on your chest. Oh and when he does gun it he gets about 6MPG :eek:

I am interested in one but just a bit too mad for me. Probably going to replace the Lexus with a S4/6 or IS-F.

skaif - Sadly it needs more than just a remap to make my figures as the Stage 2 requires a few more bits to top of the mapping. Price wise, including the re-map, it works about just under £2k with a gearbox re-map, secondary Cats removed, air filters & labour for those extra bits.

Just a remap gets you high 600's hp and mid 900's NM, still plenty mind.

Ian - Even £2k is a bargain bud! I can only imagine how quick this thing must be! Looking forward to the next RR day!
 
RyanF- Enough time to get in my last rites before the horrible crash that follows :D

Bensons - Like the 0-60mph mentioned earlier, a drag-strip isn't the best place to see these as they are "relatively" poor off the line in comparison to GTR's etc due to limited 1st gear torque, slush box , no L/C, very grippy surface bogs down the engine etc but it should still do around 11-11.5secs at 130+ based on others than have done it.

Where it's scary is from 100 where the acceleration barely slows down as per the videos above.
 
There's a few over 900hp and at least 1 with over 1000hp in Poland (Sportmile) but the small engine bay restricts extracting much more power. There is literally no space already, so trying to add bigger rads, intercooler, turbos etc is extremely difficult.

Lightening would be a good start but again the car is such a massive lump (2.25 tons with a driver) that even with a diet it would still be very heavy.
 
I forgot all about this thread, I'll keep it updated a bit more often!

Anyway, I saw MRC have posted that they'd mapped the UK's first 1000hp+ RS6 (well 940ps on 98Ron and 1024ps on Race Fuel) and it sparked my enthusiasm again so, I've been buying bits for my Christmas present to the RS6 -

An 850hp conversion sometime in early December, which should be fun in winter.
