[s-cars] Promess me, don't ever drive the RS6 MTM !!!!

[Keith Maddock]

While I was only a passenger in one, I can second Frederic's opinion after a ride in Robin's MTM'd RS6 with 800 Nm of torque (590 ft-lb)

The sound is quite nice.  While waiting in  the middle of the hotel lobby with both sets of sliding doors closed.  I heard an quite equisite motor sound, and I knew it must be him!  Sure enough it was.  There is some sort of exhaust cutout that opens ( based on boost level ?) up for extra aural pleasure.

Even with moderate  traffic on the local Autobah around München, Robin was able to acheive 280 km/h (175 mph)  with no effort at all.  Simply amazing.
The MTM brakes were also quite impressive :)

Would be the ultimate Autobahn burner, if you could solve the problem of having to stop for petrol every hour (perhaps an extra 100 liter fuel cell in the back?).

Cheers,
Keith

Hi,

So yesterday I received the RS6 MTM for the annual show of the french
Audi Club. What can I say in normal words ?????

535 horsepowers is absolutely scary. Thanks to the tiptronic gearbox to
manage the gears while I manage the two pedals and the steering wheel.
But the best is the engine sound. Some kinds of secret system is making
the engine scream over 5000 rpm. A ducatti biker looked who was
following him in a long tunnel yesterday as I was right behind him
making more noise than he did. A first for him and for me. Other than
that, Even the french police is curious and amazed !!!!!

I will do some videos and put them on the web very soon.

This is the bultimate beast !!!

Regards,
Frederic.
