Looking good buddy. The Avus wheels suit her perfectly. She's riding kinda high though - at first glance, I thought she was an Allroad, perhaps it's just the angle of the shot?
 300 chp? How does she stack up against your old S8 with 340? Was a shame to see you break your S8 though!

it is a little high at the moment.
The S6 with 18" Avus Wheels had a lower profile tyre than the 8 which doesnt help. I am planning on lowering springs which will drop it 40mm and when the tyres need changing I'll put lower profile ones on. There isn't a noticable power difference but for some reason the A6 has more of a V8 sound than the 8 did. I'm not sure whether this is because the 6 is a 40 valve and the 8 was a 32 or because the 8's exhaust drowned out the induction which can be heard more on the 6.

Don't forget that the A8 has the double glazing and better sound proofing too..

You don't want an RS 6 exhaust (too quiet) you want an RS 6 Plus exhaust. It's a sports exhaust from factory and sounds much meatier and louder then a standard exhaust. Make me an offer.

If you change it for aftermarket coilovers I might be interested in your if they are standard and cheap enough.
