2008 Audi RS6 Scooped?

These pictures were shot by an Audi fan in a parking lot somewhere in Spain and from the looks of it, we could be looking at the upcoming RS6. Just to set things straight, we have no official or unofficial confirmation that Audi’s readying a top-notch A6, only rumours and various spy pics like these. The differences we spotted between the current S6 and the RS6 pictured here include wider flares, 20’’ rims, twin oval exhaust pipes and the rear diffuser. We also have a couple of interior images that unveil a 330 km/h speedometer (S6: 290 km/h), a sportier, racing-style cut steering wheel and an automatic gearbox. As for what’s hiding under the hood, it's speculated that the RS6 will carry the same V10 engine as in the S6, but with a little help from turbochargers, output will surpass the 550 Hp mark. –15 more images after the jump

Audi RS6 ABT Crash – Yes, he made it out alive without barely a scratch!

First of all, what you’re seeing in the image above is ONE, and I repeat ONE single car! Makes our previous post on the BMW M3 CSL accident look like foreplay doesn't it? According to the guy who posted these pics on “RS6”, the driver of this split-up Audi RS6 ABT is his brother-in-law. We’re talking about one hell of a lucky chap here as he obviously passed through the valley of death and took a wink at the devil to come out of this crash alive with barely a scratch or two! -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see more pictures of the crash

This is what his brother-in-law quoted: “What you see is what you get, i.e. there was no cutting of the vehicle prior to the pictures being taken. It is my brother-in-law that you see holding the mobile phone, he honestly doesn't know the speed that he was going at but wasn't near as fast as he has done in the past on that particular part of the road.

Although the road was completely dry he said that it felt he was on ice and the car just careened into the tree. He actually called the emergency services and climbed out of the car by himself, he spent only a couple of hours in hospital, apart from a few minor scratches he got a bandage around his little finger, I told him if he's not already religious he should take it up ASAP!
