Ha ha not what you thought when you clicked this

Interesting ish to see the the dims of the current RS6 vs the B9 RS4 as not much in it anymore (about 200mm longer and 100mm wider):

RS6
Wheelbase
2,915 mm (114.8 in)
Length
4,991 mm (196.5 in)
Width
1,986 mm (78.2 in)
Height
1,461 mm (57.5 in)
Kerb weight
1,950 kg (4,299 lb)

B9 RS4
Wheelbase
111.3 in OR 2827 mm
Length
188.2 in OR 4780 mm
Width
73.5 in OR 1867 mm
Height
55.3 in OR 1405 mm
Unladen Weight
3946 lbs OR 1790 kg

B8 RS4 just for comparison
Wheelbase 2,811 mm (110.7 in)
Length 4,719 mm (185.8 in)
Width 1,826 mm (71.9 in)
Height 1,415 mm (55.7 in)
Kerb weight 1,795 kg (3,957 lb)[17]

Ugh! I feel robbed. Click bait!! Haha.

I looked at this a few months ago trying to justify the heft and want for an RS6 next. Still two very different beasts though.

Thanks for that I had been wondering what the differences were. It's good to see it all in one place.

You got me TX - clickbait indeed.

So what are the performance stats - the RS6 has oodles more BHP, how does it fare for torque?

I still think about the RS6 to replace the car. but thinking more towards an S6. far more rare and cheaper. with a simple remap you can get around 570HP... and running costs are cheaper..

I followed an RS4 the other day (exact same spec as yours) and it did look a big ol' thing! Absolutely stunning, though.

A barge for sure @D0C

It's weird as you'd think they would be similar to RS6. I've not had the pleasure of driving the RS6 yet. But, the S6 had quite a bit of body roll. Super comfy though. Maybe you can get DRC on the S6? I don't think people say the RS is nimble but everyone I've spoken to say it really hides it's mass.

These figures all show what such small differences can do to a car though. What I will say is, look at the yanks and what they do to the S6. You can make that thing I unique beast with a few tweaks. I see the appeal.

Thanks TX! - The '6 is a formidable beast without a doubt.
