Tuned RS6 (680hp) vs G-Power M6 (710hp) vs CLS (800hp)

It's in German, but still quite good (I speak German as well so I understood it, but hope it's entertaining for those that don't understand German as well...)

Hot damn! Very cool video..

I would just like to say that the Audi RS6 is so menacingly beautiful it's ridiculous! It has everything I'd ever need in a car - brutal looks, insane performance and an Audi interior

Oh and happy 1000-post-milestone

Who Knows what conclusions were made.
Visually it would seem 4 wheel drive wins.

The RS6 get's good reviews but understeers. Is fastest on their course.

The M6 is the most fun to drive and can be thrown around, but lacks some feel in the steering.

The CLS is impossible to get to oversteer. It pulls like crazy and is fast in a straightline. But the AWD system is flawed and lights up the inner front tire during cornering. Strange behaviour as it directs power to the wrong wheel at the wrong time. They are not sure if that's down to the tuning company or MB settings.

Conclusion:

RS6 wins over the M6

CLS is dismissed as a non contender due to it's odd handling/AWD system

If I was fluent in German this would have been awesome.

Great video! I wish all the car magazines would test tuner cars a bit more often.
