Another board I got this from unanimously agreed he should be driving a BMW M6 instead, but oh well :)

Post by: Lord Nicon on July 11, 2005, 07:25:39 PM: The first Transporter was ok. Id probably ditch the A8 (im sure its not the only car). Im not a big fan of the M6 either but 2 doors > 4 doors in most cases.

I believe that is an S6. Also I haven\'t had any trouble with my power windows at all. VW\'s on the other hand...

An Audi S6 is better than a BMW M6

Post by: GigaShadow on July 12, 2005, 09:42:50 AM: It is debadged and it didn\'t look big enough to be an A8. Also - the wheels are Audi RS wheels and the rear spoiler and door fins usually come on the S line - though they can be put on any Audi.

EDIT: Ok found some pictures of the car - no spoiler and no door fins, but it does have the RS wheels. It is debadged, but I swear it doesn\'t look as big as an A8, but I suppose it is... A8 W12.

Post by: Samwise on July 12, 2005, 10:02:30 AM: I just watched the trailer and Giga, it is an A8. W12 as you said (*fap fap fap*).

Actually the movie looked quite fun, in that leave-your-brain-at-the-door-and-be-entertained kinda way. Although I\'m certainly not expecting any Academy Award nominations. :)

Huh? You do know there\'s a 10 cylinder in the M6 right? Plus it weighs less than an S6. :stick:

Audi\'s new generation A6 is getting a 5.5L V10 engine used by Lamborghini Gallardo.

In the 6?! wtf. Its probably not that difficult, but seeing an engine from an midship AWD sports/exotic put into a FR(or is it a quattro?) 4 door luxury/sport is just weird. Then again, the bull is in the hands of the germans now. But I mean, still, if thats the case then whats in the the 8?

Thats just nuts.

A W12 - ie. a 12 cylinder.

The S models are usually even more powerful than their regular "A" siblings. For example the A4 can come with a V6 engine, but the S4 has a V8 and some extra goodies that make it sportier as Sammy said.

As for the A6/S6 most are Quattro.

Don\'t get me wrong I love BMW\'s as well, but Audi has come a long way since the 80\'s when many considered it a high priced VW.
