@@wko4597 Nobody wants to speak French tho, plus English is obviously more important

[@bluesun_0]

@@egg0534 English is more important because the americans have a lot of geopolitical influence, but before the beginning of the pax americana age, french was as important as english and it was used a lot more (still is) than it in treaty signings, french was the de facto diplomatic language of the world. Not used as much nowadays but still relevant since french is spoken fluently by 270 million people worldwide and is recognized as an official language in 29 countries making it the 5th most spoken language in the world.

What an eye haha.

[@Butters_Stunts]

We just watched Richard Hammond drive very fast down a mountain without crashing and I think we should appreciate that

[@blueonblack83]

The skiier in orange -- Antoine Montant -- apparently died in a BASE jumping accident. RIP.

[@cyclemartin4073]

Wow, sad . But hardly surprising i thought lucky they didnt break their necks doing this stunt,. Us humans tend to forget that we are made of soft tissue over bone.

[@HyperHorse]

blueonblack83 Yeah well that's what you get for partaking in such risky activities.

[@dart2527]

Hyper Horse I wouldn't word it "that's what you get" that's kinda cruel to say to someone whose just trying to have fun. But more, "It's what you may face."

[@svenlima]

+Hyper Horse If you're able to handle a paraglider and a pair of ski it's not that difficult or risky ... not more risky and dangerous than fumbling on your car's radio while driving at 120 km/h

So that RS6 had more power than Audi's now 2017 R8 V10 Plus which makes 540 hp which is also Audi's flagship high end car.

[@christiann6350]

nova495 Normal V10 makes 533. V10 Plus makes 600+ . Think it was 604 or 614 hp

[@Jaszczur-sp2tx]

nova495 R8 engine is n/a and this rs has turbos

Its way lighter

I don't really fancy station wagons but this one has changed my mind. what a beautiful car.

If I could only have one car. No matter how much it costs. It'd be this as it can do everything! A 5 seater, practical estate, supercar 😊😁

"Sport, Dynamic, or James May." LOL

fantastic show brilliant show tracks why oh why top gear do you have to make the shows so addictive?

[@zuuchii]

"I've got three options for the ride settings: sport, dynamic and..... james may" ahahahaha

[@scorpionc773]

The Engine is in the new Gallardo LP560-4. And the Press also says in a lot of test articles that the Engine IS a Lamborghini Engine. I think they used the V10 cause of the BMW M5 Saloon.

[@Sub4sax]

Give RS6 to Loeb and try to win.

[@costamiguel6788]

sou de portugal e so começei a ver a dias e adoro o programa e cada bomba

[@Leonis1989]

@Jolinator - Evidently not because if you reqest it Audi will change the limiter to stop at 170mph. But nonetheless, we know there are tires that can withstand 260mph so it shouldn't be too hard getting a set that can handle 200

[@IsBreaLiomCapall]

lol, "there are rabbits up my trousers", omg. did Jeremy teach him that!

[@patrickp9763]

That car is just WOW

[@Yurizen001]

very good job there in the subtitles.

sports, dynamic and james may

Sport, Dynamic or James May. I'd take James May :D

[@koolerthanapolarbear]

that color blue is gorgeous!!! 527hp isnt bad either =P

[@OpCzar]

Didn't expect the parachutes!

[@someguy7629]

I did not expect them to cheat either and skip most of the mountain the way down.

[@Glubok]

Yeah ! Antoine Montant rules !!

[@steamz99]

i love hammonds voice

[@SongSamples]

@JosephCote27 KZbin changed it, 5 months ago he was probably right but there is no way to skip them now.

[@MrGnarman]

anyone else catch the intro to "time to pretend" by MGMT starting at 0:55 ?

[@noname-wb5cv]

But remember this car is a lot, lot (400kg) heavier than a M5 F10, it's also older and no M5 does 62mph in 3.7 seconds. RS6 C7 62mph in 3.6 seconds, and M5 F10 62mph in 4.1 seconds.

[@vukdjurovic4183]

hey new mercedes e63 amg wagon s does 62mph in 3.4 seconds.compete with that!!

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

Okay, I will. The new RS6 hit 60mph in 3.5 seconds. When tested in Germany, the E63 was slightly quicker than the RS6. However, when things got quicker, the Mercedes started to lose the race. I did lose the race. This was in rainy conditions so the RS6 did have an advantage, but for speed, it's best at 0-62mph. The Audi beats it for braking (only with ceramics), to. Bit the E63 is a really, really nice car and I am kind of biased about Audi vs BMW/Mercedes! Both cars are great though!

[@vukdjurovic4183]

Yes I agree with that!

[@DeejayJeanP]

WTF did the ad just come up when I was watching the video already?! KZbin have you gone mad ?!

[@TheAudiA6Driver]

i love this care, can't even imagine driving it

[@stjimmy400]

"sports, dynamic, or James May" lolol

[@EccentricRichard]

@jamie123gers - most of it I have memorised. I know the M5 is the least spacious, the Merc the most, but I had to look up boot space figures (except I remembered reading that the Merc is about 1900 litres with the rear seats down).

[@graywolf3495]

0:54 that sounds like the intro from Time to Pretend by MGMT

[@Racing_Fox413]

Gray Wolf I was looking to see if anyone else had caught it, yes yes it is the intro

[@yomama629]

@deloreanman14 you can just order one from Germany, of course you would have to get the speed indicator switched from km/h to mph though

[@mertinio]

yes i think it's the the gallardo engine, but it has 2 turbos added;)

[@Get4Instinct]

correction *310km/h and u put MTM filters and exhoust this car can pull 340kmh

[@3dgar7eandro]

His French is so good😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@simix1000]

i would like to see jeremy make a video of this rs6 !!! i think that rs6 deserve a much more attention !!! respect BMW M5 but with this rs6 Audi create something new and its a masterpiece !!!

[@HannibalACP82]

Id take public transportation to work for the rest of my life if Audi would bring the RS6 Avant with that V-10 to the US.

[@R6VIIshooter]

1 way to look at this car is an R8 V10 with 2 more seats and a bigger boot. they both do share the same 5.2 fsi V10

[@lPowDog74l]

Les Arcs, ça représente!

[@ScorpioIsland]

Don't ask why it's ten grand more than an M5. Ask what we did to deserve it's majesty at any price

[@gorlami3341]

i love this guys french!

[@Jolinator]

@Leonis1989 because after 155mph, tyre degredation becomes a problem..

[@nogodgiveslemons]

did you cut out most of richards drive or did you just get the short version???

[@88annedr]

Soccer mom rolling in style

[@EccentricRichard]

@JonPWN1 - yeah, they're annoying, but something as big as KZbin doesn't pay for itself. What would you rather have - a 15-second ad before certain videos, or no KZbin?

beautiful car

[@Wildcard1992]

Good choice!

[@Quinny1394]

thats how crazy the germans are, they get a very powerful lamborghini V10 and then they add 2 turbos and put it in a wagon. not to mention the sweeds, they put a twin turbo diesel 4.9L V10 engine in a volvo people mover. lol

[@rammstein67350]

@theadizo yeah you can make a small 4 cylinders engine sounds like a big v8 with an exhaust.

Why must there be a Forza 3 ad on EVERY Top Gear video? First they bother us with the Chevy Volt, now with Forza!

200 MPH... in a wagon. God Damn I Love Audi.

[@907AlphaKilo]

I'd hardly call that skiing. That's more like base jumping.
