Rs4 and RS6 Difference

mjt · 29 Apr 2008 at 13:04

the new A4 is probably the same size as the first A6 anyway

the rs4 isn't that heavy for its category, i'm not going to make any excuses for the rs6 though as none need to be made due to its monsterous power

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

Yeah, probably but I think I could tell the difference between a 5 series touring and a 3 series touring from the rear. The A4 and A6 avants look identical.

the rs6 is a bit more swoopy and wider and has a different rear valance.

Also tiny differences in the rear lights...but yea very similar

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

IIRC Audi are only ever producing one RS model at any given time.

Yup - I think they only do one type at a time as well (i.e. avant/cabriolet/saloon)

I'm looking forward to the RS5 next year - that will be immense.

One is a big heavy barge and one is a ship. They both consume fuel like Texas and make a nice noise while wafting you around at light speed. Neither are as much fun as their bmw competitors but both are more rounded and capable I would suggest.

Guess that depends on your idea of fun! One is also less likely to kill some wannabe race car driver who thinks hes all that >.>

Well Porsche 911 GT3 is his idea of fun. So he kind of has the experience to provide an opinion

As long as you remember that's all it is...an opinion and not gospel.

Something you will have seen ME say many times...

RS6's appeared on my radar recently, when I saw them dip under the 20k price barrier...

But **** me they're expensive to run

Some of the bills people have been getting on RS246.com and PH are astronomical. Guy on a forum I visited bought one recently, less than a month later he was landed with a £1500 bill.

Awesome cars though - boss at work just bought an 05 S4, the 4.2 sounds fantastic and goes well, can only imagine how quick the RS6 must be...

Then we're in agreement.

Without more information about such a bill that figure is a little misleading, don't you think? For a car of that type (and cost) a bill like that could find itself your way no matter what the vehicle is. An exhaust for a 911 turbo costs more than that, but you wouldn't use a story about a Porka needing a new pipe to claim that they are particularly expensive to run.

just spent my lunch break going for a spin in my work mates rs6, oh how I need a 4.2 v8 bi-turbo in my life

Emlyn_Dewar · 2 May 2008 at 14:38

Have you got your car back yet or are you still stuck with the Corsa for the weekend?

Toker · 2 May 2008 at 14:44

gettin it back today, you coming down tonight? why you not on messenger, shocking

Emlyn_Dewar · 2 May 2008 at 15:03

Reckon I will, need to go for a spin and find a way to remove the litres of water from my car...
Not at computer for long enough stretches to justify messenger at moment.
