Looks like a very nice conversion!:d Although it will be a handful even in the dry to keep that in a straight line!lollollol

Only thing that doesnt look good is the kinks in the rear rollcage around the boost pipes???

V6 RS6 engine????

There has only been 2 RS6 models, the first was a V8 bi-turbo and the present is a V10


More likley a rebuild of the konopek corsa that ran a RS4 bi-turbo engine at close to 1000bhp, that one was blue then got sold and painted green and crashed,

The format looks the same and is still mighty impresive.

hmmm someone should do their homework ( i mean the site that has the images not the OP ) yes they said it had crashed but how could it have been fixed when it looked like this

and before it was green it was built by a croatian dude call Dario konopec, here is how it was at first

and here is the thread from a while ago, plenty of videos of how fast this car was in this thread, and yes it had audi clocks and the speedo needle goes off the clock!!!

It says remade, not fixed.

That is an awesome car. Best big engined Nova I have seen! The videos on Youtube of the acceleration are unreal.

My point is the site in the first link has crap info,

really a RS6 V6 WTF!

If you read somewhere its an RS4 engine not RS6.

Suppose it will be the Audi B5 RS4 which was 2.7 V6 Bi turbo

According to Wikipedia the Audi engine was designed & built in UK by Cosworth & was 375bhp @ 7000

Cant find any good vids on Youtube.
Plenty of crap from 3yr ago video phones but nothing of how it is in its i suppose current state of Red.

That again is my point, there isn't a RS6 V6 engine.

The original car was fitted with a 2.7 V6 twin turbo from an Audi RS4, the car underwent seriuos engine mods while dario had the car, he sold it and it was painted green, the new owner crashed the car down a motorway embankment and him and his passanger walked away from it,

Since then it has been rebuilt into the red car you now see,

I know of a croation website that the original build thread was on but it's a members only site and I was never approved to join so gave up looking.

Cost of living abroad is less IMO,

edit, a RS4 will still set you back £10k here, I'd much rather drive it around that rip it apart,
