The Audi RS6 5.0 TFSI quattro
The Audi RS6 5.0 TFSI quattro is the land rocket of the Audi A6 models.
It is powered by an all-aluminum alloy 5.0 liter V10 twin-turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) engine.
The V-10 is rated at 580 horsepower, and 479 foot pounds of torque.
The official performance figures for the RS6 Avant are:
0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds.
0 to 124 in 13.1 seconds.
It has an electronically governed top speed of 155.3 mph, but you can get a factory option that bumps that figure up to 192.6 mph.
To keep the V-10 cool, the RS6 needs seven radiators, and four electric cooling fans.
Unfortunately, the RS6 Avant will not be available in the U.S., but a sedan was unveiled in August 2008, and will probably be offered in North America.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
In the world's fastest cars, we've already had two entries, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and the Lamborghini Reventón.
But the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 deserves honorable mention.
This Lambo is powered by a 5.2L V10 (based on the Audi RS6 V10) with FSI direct injection, generating 560 horsepower and 398 ft·lbs of torque.
This allows the LP560-4 to run the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 130 mph.
But wait, the Murcielago LP640 can go 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, and the LP560-4 can manage 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.......
So is the LP560-4 really faster by .2 seconds?
And the LP640 has a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds at 126 mph.....
I think I have to change my original post.
It appears the LP560-4 IS faster!
And what does the Lamborghini Gallardo cost?
Around $180,000 to $210,000.
