AutoZeitung: Alpina B5S vs. Audi RS6

B5S RS6

€97 900 €106 900

Round 1 "Karroserie" : Larger luggage capacity and space for passengers gives victory to the Audu RS6

Round 2: "Fahrkomfort": The nicer "dialled in" have more comfort.The Alpina B5 is also equipped wtih comfort seats whic hare alot more comfortable than the sport seats of the RS6.

Round 3: Motor / Getriebe: Win for the Alpina B5S. More cultivated and less loud than the bi-turbo V10 of the RS6. Also with a top speed of 313 km/h it's alot mroe than the Ingolstädter. For €1600 a 280 km/h option is available.

Round 4: Fahrdynamilk: With firstclass brakes the Audi RS6 sets a benchmark.

Round 5: Umwelt / Kosten: The smaller costs has the Alpina B5S: cheaper to buy as new, better exhaust values and lower insurance. €60 000 in loss the first four years.

SUMMARY: When sumamrized the points, the Alpina B5S Touring is clearly in front. It is a very solid car but neverthelss a very primitive; like a ironfist in a velvetglove. The Audi RS6 is the more active driving car and when you want to, more sportier. But when comfort and top speed it cannot keep pace with the Alpina.

They are both full family and everyday cars despite driving capabilities of Lamborghini-level.

The Alpina wins due to better comfort and economy. That's not why I made the post though. The RS6's acceleration is amazing! look at the figures and tracktimes.

Nice sig bro^^^

I've always liked your car. I'm not sure about the CF parts but the rest looks great!

hkz786,

I also posted something similar on the M3 site. The RS6 times are incredible, the 60mph time is great but to be expected due to Quattro and the power, but the 100mph and the 125mph times are real eye openers, 8.8s to reach 100mph is better than any M5 time I know of and possibly better than any M6 time as well and both times were achieved in Europe not the US. Imagine what will be achieved by some of the US mags when they get their hands on a saloon version.

hks786 · 04-10-2008, 06:41 AM

+1 bro, this makes me wonder what the Sedan will perform like!

Keep in mind that the measurements in are KM/h not MPH.
