[s-cars] RE: New Audi S6

[Taka Mizutani]

I know that Sportec and I think Hohenester have power upgrades to 600hp for
the RS6.

For a big slushbox car, the new S8 sounds awesome. I like the D3 A8 already,
so having
more power, more braking, more tire is definitely good.

I'm not that enamored of the RS6, as you can tell.
