At first glance, the idea of turning an S6 sedan into a fake RS6 seems barbaric and childish. But it's no more so than installing Golf R parts on a GTI, and that's pretty common.
You couldn't really call your S6 an RS6 with the last generation of the car because the engines were so different. Believe it or not, but the C6 S6 had a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 with only 435 horsepower, while the turbocharged one in the RS6 pushed 580 hp.

Of course, you didn't need to pretend that you had an RS6 sedan because Audi actually made one. In those days, the quattro cars featured taller suspension and nose-heavy construction, so they weren't that prone to shenanigans. In short, C6s weren't as popular as the C7 is today.

The fact that Audi has only made the RS6 as an Avant hasn't stopped a few people from dreaming big. Only a couple of days ago, we showed you one from Finland that had also been boldly covered in Mocha Latte paint.

Now, somebody in Germany claims to have a similar project. We found a few photos and a more recent video that suggest the RS6 sedan was revealed at the Tuning World Bodensee, the same show where they name miss tuning every year.

The body changes have been carried out at the SMS Sport Motor Service shop, while paint and wrap were executed at Lackwerk Gera. We know the mods on the 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine were made at Procharged, but we don't know exactly how much power it's putting down.

The final ingredients are the Z-performance zp2.1 wheels which sit deep within the body thanks to Air Lift Performance suspension.

Even though the major RS6 details, like the bumpers and exhaust, are correct, we still don't see this as a perfect conversion. Maybe it just needs some RS6 red badges at the front and back.
