Best regards, south
From the spec sheet I have seen it looks like the RS6 comes standard with PS2 tyres so I doubt the lap time it will do or has done will be on anything other than them.

Anyway, how sure are we that it has done a 8:05, according to hks786 the Audi guy said it has done 8:09 but from an insider/source it is capable of better, possible 8:05. Either time is amazing when you consider that it weighs and extra 200kgs more than the more nimble M5 and according to T-Bone it will be slower on the straights so if true it will actually be cornering better than the M5 or M6 for that matter.

Not bad for an over-weight, nose heavy tub with a power sapping transmission.
