Default I think I saw an RS6 tonight....is that possible? in Brighton, MA?

<center><img src="https://www.audiworld.com/news/02/rs6detail/header3.jpg"></center><p>I was driving down near North Beacon Street in Brighton, and I was looking down the road. I saw the glow of a set of xenons coming at me, on something that looked like an armoured car - oops that's the new H2 - Hummer. (BTW, nice color on those hummer xenons).....

But behind the hummer, I noticed some "audi xenons", as usual, I look over to see if I know him...or say "hello"....

Just as I got a glance at it, a car pulled in front of him....but just in time for me to notice a "sport" logo on the front of a wide-body new A6.

Was that an S6? I didn't think they made the sedan in a - WAIT? RS6? no.....


I quickly looked behind be and looked at the rear, and what do I see?

the spoiler, the RS6 badge, and the RS dual tips.

Is this possible? or was I dreaming? I didn't think they were really "out" yet.

BTw, it was covered in snow - from the storm today,

Default The RS6 sedan is the same body as the A6 4.2

I've seen A6 4.2s with the RS spoiler.

I was temporarily fooled until I looked at the 4.2 badge.

Default it coulda been. I don't think that an RS6 would be in Boston for testing.

it was dark...rainy, and I only glimpsed the front/rear.


Do you know if that A6 4.2 has an RS6 badge?

I thought it was weird, but I dont recall seeing "RS6" on the front, but a 2000 style S4 "sport" badge. Obviously I cuoldn't read it.

I didn't even notice the rims.

Default I saw an RS4 1.8T in Nashua, NH last night ;-)

Thats cool, maybe it was... I know that RS4 was fake, although it looked good... on the border of being ricey, though, but looked nice enough...
