2004 Audi RS 6 Road Test

Earlier this year I road tested the Audi A6 2.7T S-Line, which is mechanically motivated by an athletic 265 horsepower, bi-turbo 2.7-liter V6. I also tested the raucous Audi S4 Cabriolet, which is a street rocket thanks to the 340 horsepower kicked out by its 4.2-liter V8. But neither of these admirable performers prepared me for the brutal onslaught of power that erupts from the 450 horsepower Audi RS 6.
