Tootling down the M4 last night and was overtaken by a brand new RS6 Avant. On rolling top gear acceleration, he couldn't pull away

Slightly different when we came to the Toll in Wales and as I've got a tag got through first, had a couple of seconds head start then got totally decimated! It sounded glorious though

It really is a rocket in a straight line, now I'm just wondering what a Stage 1 RICA might do for it

Something tells me he wasn't trying!
An RS6 has well over 500bhp and 500lbft of torque.
Very little will keep up with one of those.
