The new BMW F12 M6 just doesn't cease to amaze us. After seeing it win against supercars like the Ferrari 458 Italia and the "supercar killer" Nissan GT-R, the Bimmer made another victim.
It was about time we saw the new M6 go against its main rival from Audi. However, the car that's racing the 6er in this video is not a stock Audi. It's a MTM modified RS6 Sedan that has a "mere" 702 HP output due to some ECU tweaking.

The M6 Coupe is stock and has the standard 560 HP and 501 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque at its disposal in order to win the short drag race. The RS6 Sedan should've had the same 560 HP coming out of the 4-liter TFSI engine but MTM made sure that those numbers are quickly forgotten.

On paper, the stock cars are pretty evenly matched: RS6's official 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time is 3.9 seconds whilst the BMW does it in 4.2 seconds. The stock engines have the same power but the Audi has a plus on torque, topping BMW's 501 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque by 16 lb-ft (20 Nm).

However, as the M6 proved it many times, in real life things are different. Even with the extra 142 horsepower, the RS6 is defeated by the amazing M6 m5boarddotcom giving us another great video to feast our eyes on.
