Got a hankering to own an
Audi from the beginning of the Aughts? If you're hunting for an example that wears a model badge with the number "6," you might want to have a mechanic take a look its nipples. More specifically, make sure the rollover valve in the fuel system has been given proper attention, otherwise the nipple can become cracked and lead to fuel winding up on the ground instead of feeding the engine.
Audi and the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have just announced a recall for specific years of the
Audi A6, S6 and RS6. This recall affects 2001-2004 A6 models, 2002-2003 S6 models and the 2003 RS6. Up to 5,992 vehicles are potentially affected by this action.

The
Bentley Supersports' corporate cousin, the Audi RS6, apparently just

Audi RS4 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Car and Driver's German correspondent delivered some bad news to enthusiasts with the revelation that the
Audi RS4 won't get a "direct successor" because the
RS5 is enough for all-wheel drive performance junkies. How the
Audi brass came to that conclusion is beyond us - a fighting four door is just as entertaining and vastly more practical than its coupe counterpart. Just ask
BMW. It was smart enough to offer the
E92 M3 in both sedan
and coupe form.
In related news, C/D's "Continental" says that the
RS6 will live on, likely with a twin-turbocharged V8. Our own sources suggest that engine will displace 4.0 liters and output close to 600 horsepower. So, one out of two ain't bad...

Ya know, the
Audi RS6 Avant is pretty boring from the factory. Who cares about a twin-turbocharged direct-injection V10 delivering
only 572HP and 479lb-ft of torque? APS Sportec's rectified this indignity by pushing output to a much-more-insane 700HP and 584lb-ft.
