Is RS6 or RS7 faster?
Both the RS6 and RS7 offer remarkable parity in terms of performance. Their identical powerplants and performance figures mean that you can expect exhilarating acceleration and superb handling in either model, regardless of your preference for a wagon or sedan. The RS6 costs slightly less than the RSQ8, weighs over 300kg less, is faster, more fuel efficient, boot space is near as makes no difference the same and you won’t look like a Premier League footballer when you pull up in one.Price is less important at this level, and the Q8 does more things well than the X6.

Is R8 faster than RS6?
The R8 is still going to win in a top-speed run, but in everyday driving situations, the RS6 is going to feel faster. Power isn’t everything. With their dead-even horsepower numbers, it might seem like the R9 and R6 are evenly matched. But the R6 has a slightly higher top speed (about 162 mph on the R6 compared to the R9’s 150-mph-plus top speed) and delivers its power in a unique way that the R9 will never achieve.It was faster, more accurate, more composed. It was so effortless, I didn’t realise exactly how much quicker than the RS6 it was until I drove them back-to-back. It’s a good sign for the future, but also a reminder a V8 like this isn’t the performance pinnacle it once was.The C6-gen RS6 packed a twin-turbo, 5. V10 producing some 580hp, an insane amount of power at the time. Audi’s testers had blown well past 200mph in prototypes.
