In reality, Audi stuffed five 2-cylinder engines in there and merged them into one, and calls it a V10 because the M5 has it. Apparently the "never follow" was an exception this time. And the so-called "B&O sound" is just a 1972 b&o boom box in the glove compartment.
Also, the body is indeed made of aluminium, except they forgot to mention that 96% of it is from old Uncle Ben's cans.
I'll pass.
Only kidding of course.

Ive looked up the weight and it seems similar. How could that be? S6 seems so much smaller and based on the a6 body right?

Very true, 480 wouldnt have been a hard thing to do even a nice 500, the engine is based on the G cars anyway's. But that's Audi for ya, all conservative and ****e.

I have owned and driven everything: audi rs6, posche 993 c2s, brabus sl55, 2 porsche 996 turbos, bmw z8, gallardo, ferrari 355, currently have 997 TT , ferrari 360, and audi s8. The S8 is an amazing car period!
