I genuinely hope your newly acquired RS6 is a good-un 😬



This isn’t just an RS6 bashing either, any 15+ year old Audi doesn’t have the same parts support as other OEM’s meaning the simplest of parts can completely f**k you over.

Yeah watched that last night, its mental how manufacturers just go f**k it we're not making parts for vehicles when they're not really that old, got the same problem with some of our dumpers at work

This looks like a proper tidy conversion.

Anyone watch/listen to The Car Edition podcast?

I do like him, but my god he's a spastic. Truly painful to watch at points.

He's one of those ones where everything is the end of the world (the faces for the thumb nails are enough to make you want to punch the screen) He leaves basic safety and mechanics out too as he's penny pinching.
His GF's the same too, didn't drive my car for a few months, ooh abandoned. Shocked face!!

Bore off!!

never watch top gear YT stuff but this is a decent watch. All the bosses drive the other guys cars.

What's the crack with the gearbox on the koenigsegg?

EDIT: no it’s not shut up

I’ve not watched the video yet (well, I’m pretty sure they’ve done this exact thing before so maybe it’s a reupload?) but if it’s the Regera (I think) it’s basically a super CVT transmission so has the performance advantage of being able to hold the engine at peak torque RPM and continuously change the gear ratio as speed increases, giving perfect torque multiplication and therefore faster acceleration.

It's the CC850

I've just read this below, it has nine gears but only uses six, and the six ratios you have to use change depending which mode your in.

No flywheel and no clutch as such. Still not sure how it works.

Yes the Regara is a technological marvel, but that gearbox makes it sound soo s**t.
