Round 5: Umwelt / Kosten: The smaller costs has the Alpina B5S: cheaper to buy as new, better exhaust values and lower insurance. €60 000 in loss the first four years.

SUMMARY: When sumamrized the points, the Alpina B5S Touring is clearly in front. It is a very solid car but neverthelss a very primitive; like a ironfist in a velvetglove. The Audi RS6 is the more active driving car and when you want to, more sportier. But when comfort and top speed it cannot keep pace with the Alpina.

They are both full family and everyday cars despite driving capabilities of Lamborghini-level.

The Alpina wins due to better comfort and economy. That's not why I made the post though. The RS6's acceleration is amazing! look at the figures and tracktimes.

why does the US have to be gay when it comes to most things.... like cars

0-100 in 4.2? Is that right?

Nice sig bro^^^

I've always liked your car. I'm not sure about the CF parts but the rest looks great!

hkz786,

I also posted something similar on the M3 site. The RS6 times are incredible, the 60mph time is great but to be expected due to Quattro and the power, but the 100mph and the 125mph times are real eye openers, 8.8s to reach 100mph is better than any M5 time I know of and possibly better than any M6 time as well and both times were achieved in Europe not the US. Imagine what will be achieved by some of the US mags when they get their hands on a saloon version.

Keep in mind that the measurements in are KM/h not MPH.

Hahaha!! Of course, then it would be 0-160 kph in 4.2!! No car in the world I think does that. I think.
