Audi's prototype A6 is equipped with a 3.0-liter TDI diesel engine using a single conventional turbocharger plus the electric turbo to produce 326 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. The RS5 has twin turbochargers, as well as the electric turbo, and produces 385 hp and 553 lb-ft, for 0-62 mph acceleration of about four seconds.

Today's production 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine produces 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque, accelerating the A6 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds.

They had me at turbo diesel but lost me at electric turbo.
Even GM can make functional head/tail lights.

On a similar note I was looking at a 04 RS6 the other day.
I LOL'd when the salesman used the fact that both the engine and tranny had been replaced under warranty less than 50K prior (110k on car) as a 'selling feature'.

That always makes me laugh too. "So, what your saying is, I really shouldn't expect more than 50K out of this engine and tranny, riiiight?"
