Why even put RS6 in the title? to tease us…it won’t be impressive to me until they bring this here.
le sigh…10 second wagon…

even if a tune-only 10 second biturbo Benz is ever found, it will still be uglier and less desirable than this. I mean look.

ahhhh at least Australia is lucky enough to choose between all the RS models…if only they priced it the same in the US
Mercedes has been petitioning govt of Canada to ditch us safety and join Europe/row
Would allow us to get any MB sold overseas , even if we are the only one in the country with that model. Want a diesel E wagon with awd? Sure. Want it with the 2.0 diesel though? No problem.
It would also open audi models up. Not sure what I’d be most excited about… Diesel wagons or more rs models. Equal.
RS4 plus A6 TDI avant would be the dream two car garage… but never gonna happen unless Canada stops making cars for the US
Wow… that is crazy… Go APR!
Man, sometimes the new models just make you feel silly for even modding the older platforms.
like which older platform?
Most people owning an older platform aren’t going to spend 130k for a timeslip.
why is that
The overwhelming majority of the cars assembled in canada for ford, Toyota, chrysler, honda, VW don’t even get sold here.
Excited to see how it performs
[QUOTE=Arin@APR;9556342]We’re taking the RS7 to the TX2K14 event this weekend and decided to give it a little more juice.
We removed the cats, loaded it up with 104 and dialed in more power. Everything else is stock, including the cooling, exhaust from the catalyst back, intake and filter, etc. The car will also run at the event with everything else stock, including the tires, wheels, full interior, etc.
The end results was 680 AWHP and 775 AWFT-LBS of torque. We estimate that to be 749 Horsepower and 818 FT-LBS of Torque at the crank.
Hopefully it’s quick and turns a few heads! Just for a frame of reference, we did 10.6 @ 129 MPH with only 93 octane and stage 1.
The chart shows figures at the wheels, crank, and our estimated drivetrain loss

that’s a staggering amount of power. Full boost at 3000 RPM, and 3500 is comfortably in boost. Pretty wild.
interesting how hard it falls off from 3000 right to redline. Guess the turbos are maxed out (which is funny because they’re a good size).
It is making 600+ whp from 4750 to redline. That’s insane area in the range that matters for acceleration.
I looked at the TX2K14 list…

…real fucking exciting
I completely respect the GTR and think it would be a very fun car to own. However, everyone knows they’re fast and they draw absurd amounts of attention on the road. I’d rather rock sleeper status and surprise people, which is exactly what APR is going to do.
to be honest, I doubt they’ll surprise too many people at that event. It’s an insane group of cars. You’re basically not even talked about without 1200+ hp. Really crazy.
So Arin what is going on with the RS7s that are misfiring?
What’s funny is that they all dyno lol
TX2K14 WRX VS RS7!!: http:// youtu.be/HLlJsDqA9eU
