Default not sure if this is a repost, but new to me...B7RS4 w/ c5 rs6 engine

If only the shark hood-vents and dumb hood latches and ugly wheels were gone and mirrors were stock color, and the washer cap was there...then....


this car would be a monstrosity and be one of my dream cars...

Default that's not a B7RS4.

clues:

-grille in first pic is from an A4 (or 15th anniv B7S4), and the front bumper cover in the first pic looks either aftermarket or a 15th anniv. S4 piece...not sure, but it isn't from an RS4.

-battery in engine compartment instead of trunk.

looks like more of a hack job than anything. the weight distribution is probably FUBAR.

Default An extra ~50-60 lbs maybe? The base engine weighs about the same.

Install lightweight brakes and wheels and it wouldn't be too bad.

Default the RS6 engine weighs the same as an A4 2.0T engine?

because here's that same car from the rear...it appears they used an A4 2.0T for the conversion:

Default Why didn't they clean the engine? It looks like it's been sitting outside for 6 months...

Presumably this car will have its hood up a good deal of time showing it off - why not at least clean off the valve covers before they shoehorn that heavy SOB into the car?

I dunno, isn't this good for 450hp? Maybe he won it on a game show or something
