Rs4 and RS6 Difference

[gareth.e]

I'm sorry this may sound like a stupid thread but what's the difference between the rs4 and rs6 other than the time frames the cars were produced?

I've tried to figure it out for my self but it just seems as they brought out the rs6 and while they began to stop producing it then began to bring out the rs4 a slightly newer model..

Had a quick look on google/ebay what threw me off was the fact they both have 4.2l engines and both come in similar shapes.. I decided not to look at bhp figures as looking at models on ebay a lot of them had different figures...

I'm sorry close this thread.

Well the RS6 you're talking about with the 4.2 is an older model with twin turbos 480 bhp or so the rs4 you're looking at is the new one with a v8 na 4.2 with 420ish bhp.

Indeed, there seem to be few rs6's and no new ones on ebay and mainly newer rs4's on ebay!

only one out of the 30 'rs4' cars listed is the older type rs4

List of rs6's on ebay all but one are 4.2l models

Just to hopefully show how I might have been confused!

Thats because the new rs6 has only just been released.

I know that now

tbh they probably have the same designer, imho there are not massive differences between loads of cars (apart from size) e.g. focus & fiesta, 3 series & 5 series

I would say it's very very easy to spot the difference between those cars in comparison to the RS4 and RS6
