Default Pic of new Audi RS6 (rumored to have Gallardo V-10!)

What do you guys think? I really like the stance of it, the headlights, and the side cladding. The new Audi corporate nose really has not caught on with me yet and combined with the lower 'splitters' it looks kinda busy. I would probably like the nose better with a normal grille. Overall I like it though.

Does anyone have any news on the engine? Its rumored to be running the V-10 from the Lamborghini Gallardo (not too far fetched since both Lambo resides under the VAG corporate umbrella!)

Looks sick. When I first saw the new Audi nose I didn't really like it. But I think this one pulls it off well.

What I can say about the new nose is, I don't think it'll have a breathing problem. Whatever engine they choose to put in there it should be getting plenty of air.

That new Audi styling grille used to make me do what it looked like....YAAAAAAAWN. But now, its sporty and unlike the current one, this RS6 is actually somewhat differentiated from the base A6. Overall I like it.

That looks INCREDIBLE!!! Yes, the V-10 from the Lambo should be powering it.

Thumbs up Nice car !

Road and Track did an article on the various new A6 models in the new July issue...it is in the magazine itself but they apparantly have not posted the July web site yet.

I agree with Rominl. It is a nice car except for the grille.....and the interior is the typical impeccable Audi fit-and-finish and attention to detail.
