    .............................................................
    It’s time to find out which estate from the 2000s was the fastest! We’ve got the Audi RS6 C6, the BMW E61 M5 Touring and the AMG E55 Estate lining up to do battle over the quarter-mile.
    First up we have Mat in the RS6, which is powered by a 5-litre twin-turbo V10 to deliver 579hp and 650Nm of torque. It weighs in at just over 2-tonnes, and it also comes with Quattro all-wheel-drive!
    As for the BMW, it’s hiding a 5-litre naturally-aspirated V10 up-front, which puts down 507hp and 520Nm. It weighs a fair bit less than the RS6, coming in at 1,880kg, but unlike the Audi it’s just rear-wheel-drive.
    Finally we have the AMG E55, which houses a 5.4-litre supercharged V8. It delivers the least power, with just 476hp, but it has the ability to put down 700Nm! And just like the BMW, it’s just RWD.
    Surely it’ll be a walkover for the Audi, right?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    I remember back in the days when the C6 RS6 was launched, I thought that there was a typo in the horsepower. They must mean 480hp, I thought. But nah... 580! Those were the days. Imagine that meeting among Audi engineers back then. "Lets put a Lambo V10 in our estate.. And then add two turbos on it.". Insane. Those days are long gone.

    All I can say from personal experience is this ... RS 6 is a beast on the German Autobahn ( highway ), makes supercar owners to sweat all over when it approaches them , simply because there isn't any other car able to accelerate like that . Perhaps because of that enormous Lamborghini engine in combination with the Quattro system , its just pure madness .
    A friend of mine had one in Cologne and we traveled all the way to Bremen with it ...no Ferrari , no Lambo , no Porsche , nothing could keep up with that "missile" .

      Yes, it’s true… I owned a RS6 … compared to the E55 or M5 V10 the RS6 seemed a little bit boring, because Quattro and Automatic my grandma could be fast with it. And the high weight of that fat engine in the front of the car made that you only had fun on the Autobahn not curved streets… my RS6 had 598PS on the dyno in stock, but if I changed the map for 800€, it was another car!!! Boost was taken higher from 0,6 to 1,1 bar, and it was real fast… I didn’t had it on the dyno with that new map, but it went very fast over the 300 km/h, an the speedo was at the end over 340 and GPS said 329… and there was more possible… a killer …but the cars from today like M5 or Porsche turbo s are much faster…

      Its unreliable to those who don't know how to maintain them. Being a big v10 (for a bmw) it tends to burn through spark plug (hard to get to within itself being in a V) they had transmission issues at 60k and if not mistaken overhauling around high 90-100k. If properly taken care of, when the car throws you the codes, or maintenance prior to service intervals; you'd actually have a badass v10 m5 for it's time. If only the U.S received to wagon.

      The 90s would like a word...I may not have been old enough to drive any of the 90s cars but I'll take a McLaren F1 over anything from the 00s. Also hot hatches were more fun and supercars were at their best (Diablo, F355, Pantera, Atlantique, etc). No super estates though, so the 90s were more fun but these are pretty awesome...still, Lotus Carlton every time.

    Gearbox lets the BMW M5 down.
    The trick is to slightly lift off and have it in S5 setting. Otherwise you get too much lag between shifts and just drop time.

      IIRC you can engage the s6 if you disable traction.. And also I love all these cars but I still feel something was VERY off with that m5. Sh1tty driver, changing too soon, engine trouble, 10yold stuffed air f. ... I dunno... Cause Ive seen tons of drags and this is too slow for it.

    I’m sure it would be a different race if you swapped the c6 rs6 with the c5 rs6 . Since that car would of been out when the e55 came out . Would be more of a fair comparison.

    Honestly that M5 is amazing especially with that naturally aspirated V10 sounds godly. Only downside was the reliability

    I know currently, the M5 cs is probably the best performing car out of the newest generation of these cars, but that Audi is a monster for its time. It is easily the most powerful and the AWD technology speaks for itself in the drag race. I also think it looks the best, but that's just my opinion.
