Then the RS6 (that will soon come) will be compared to M5 and E63 AMG.

what about A6 4.2q? You should have added 4.2 as well.

Well said. Audi has two sporty models whereas MB and BMW have only one so this it not fair.

I vote for S6. I like it's standard AWD and power.

Exactly! Both BMW and MB have a to big gap between the M5-550 and E500-E63 AMG... There is the problem.

LOL or the problem is that the S6 is an unecessary car.. you can flip it either way..

PS
E550 will have 388hp.. still its less than the S6.. so maybe they need to update their 4.2 and get rid of the S6 so that they can build a RS6 faster..

Sorry, but sometimes you really can say stupid things. "unecessary" you say? How can that be? Why have a big gap to a super-strong car, when you can have a "stairs-lineup".

Audi has the most perfect model range in the A6:

2.0T 170hp
2.4 177hp
2.0Ts (coming soon) 220hp
3.2 255hp
4.2 335hp
S6 420 hp
RS6 520-530 hp

That is what I call pleasure for every need for the customer. And of course I didn't bring the diesel engines.

Take BMW for example. 150hp between 550 and M5.... That is too much.

Look at MB they have 388 in E550 and 476 in E55 thats like 90hp diffrence thats less than some of the gaps in the audi line up..
This car is unecessary not beacuse it has much hp.. its beacuse its a S car and it took time to make..
why dont they make a A6 5.2 if they wanna fill the gap..

Why don't you compare the modern models instead. E500 302 hp and E55 AMG 476 hp are the current models. Then E550 388hp and E63 510hp will be the new models, so that's 122 hp difference.
