Joern,

Happy to know you made it back safely with the red beast.

Thanks for your support on the budget for gazoline. I bought at least a tank per day (80 liters) !!!!

Regards,
Frederic

"Theres only one substitute to cubic inches, A TURBOCHARGED 5 cyl  20V AUDI"

The sound is only for "butt tuners", and for oil consuming V8's.................'

As for fuel-consumption, the only complain Fred was making to me during the Folembray weekend, was that he was pissed off of all the money for the RS6-fuel...................., since he had to pay it all by own pocket( and he is a poor computer specialist)

I really feel sorry for Fred and would like to collect some money by fellow listeners, any suggestions?

And we were really missing Keith from Koblenz !

Best regards Joern, Black Beast and a truly RED track-animal......Sport Quattro.

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.
