Though Audi claims that both the Audi RS6 Avant and Audi R8 are equally fast to 62 mph and 124 mph, we've always been skeptical as to whether or not the Überwagen of our dreams could actually compete. Thankfully, the folks at EVO mag had a copy of each to test out. The bottom line? Almost. Both share a quarter-mile time of 12.7 seconds, but the lighter, 420 HP R8 is faster through 90 mph and the 580 HP RS6 is faster through 150 mph. Not surprisingly, the mid-engined supercar manages to out-brake the much heavier wagon. And what about around the track? EVO took both out to the Bradford Autodrome and determined the RS6 was just 1.4 seconds off of the R8's time of 1:26.5. I guess now we know why the ultimate wagon costs more than $140,000.

We've already gotten a look at the twin turbocharged, V10-powered, 580 HP Audi RS6 Avant , but now a camo-free Audi RS6 Sedan has been spied making the rounds in Germany. The new sedan über alles shares a lot of the ultra-Bruce styling present in the wagon version, but also gets revised tail lights and the upturned trunk lid from the RS4. We're wondering what the implications are of an Audi running with the Porsche Panamera when the Porsche boys manage to get their sweaty little hands on a controlling share of VW . [ WorldCarFans ]

newVideoPlayer("audi4s6pro_jalopnik.flv", 475, 376); We're not sure if this video includes a subliminal ploy by the folks at Audi to show quickly spliced photos of rocks to get us to say that their 2008 RS6 Avant rocks, but we guess it's working on us. Of course, it's just like your average grocery getter (assuming that your average grocery getter is powered by a twin turbocharged V10 TFSI engine good for 580 horsepower).

newVideoPlayer("AudiRS6_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Maybe it's the forbidden fruit thing, but even though it's just sitting there and even though we know we won't be getting the new Audi RS6 Avant on these shores , we're still friggin' crushing hard on it...
