Finally Canada Gets to Share in U.S. Super Sedan Wealth
According to Audi Canada, a division of Volkswagen Canada, the premium brand's audacious 450 horsepower RS 6 sport sedan will now be available in Canada.
This is good news for affluent automotive enthusiasts as the super sedan, based on the more modest A6 sedan, was only available in the United States during the 2003 model year.

Just how affluent do these enthusiasts need to be? First of all Audi only needs to find ninety who want to take home one of the world's fastest 5-seaters, all with expendable incomes that will allow $109,000 for the purchase of a car.
Considering its limited numbers, the RS 6 could become collectible, and if recent stories about the model going out of production in the near future can be relied upon then the opportunity to own this Ingolstadt super sedan might be rare indeed.

Along with its 450 horsepower come 415 lb-ft of torque, derived from twin-turbochargers boosting the brand's already impressive 4.2-L V8. Combined with a 6-speed manual transmission and quattro all-wheel drive the RS 6 is capable of achieving 100 km/h from standstill in only 4.7 seconds.
The RS 6 is expected to show up first at the Montreal auto show, followed by an unveiling at the Canadian International auto show in Toronto.
