    Awesome videos! Thanks for the sharing.

    The performance model has bigger turbochargers compare to the base model? Or just the different boost bar? Thank you!

    The article that I just read on Car & Driver said larger turbos. I believe the Urus and RSQ8 use different turbos (at least they are a different part number), I wonder if they are larger.

    Cool thanks for sharing. Looks like they are bigger turbos and they have increased boost from 2.4 to 2.6 bar.

    Magnesium finish wheels look cool but the design is too similar to the Vossen HF-5's for me to be wowed. Honestly, was thinking it would be a bigger jump like an M5 to an M5CS. I guess it kind of is with the 630HP jump.

    Disappointing... 30ish hp and different wheels? Meh. I wonder what the price premium will be for this model over the base? For around $5-7k, you can pick any wheels you want and tune it to 700hp on pump gas. No warranty on the drivetrain after the tune, but still.

    Finally forged wheel with a decent weight for an RS, it's about time Audi. 44lb of rotating and unsprung weight is not negligible.

    Just watched a Throttle House video review of the RS5 Competition. The wheels save 4.4 lb each. Makes more sense.

    Don't get confused, the 20" ones on the RS5 may save 4.4lbs per corner, but the 22" ones on the RS6, do save a whopping 11lb per corner.

    It's in the official Audi press release.

    That's a lot of unsprung weight, but it's still a 5k pound station wagon :)

    I swapped over to much lighter forged wheels on my RS6, and the difference was barely perceptible on a car this big. The new wheels do look very nice though. But the lighter wheels are mainly for magazine stats to promote the price premium for a sub model.

    Oh buga, I’ve reckoned my new RS6 (about to arrive in Oz in the next week or two, with ceramics) with the lightweight Forgelines I’ve ordered that look superb plus an Eventuri intake adding a poofteenth of power, will give me my own preferred and personalised version of the “Performance”. Oh well, I’ll work on it being 90% in the mind and I’m sure it will still be special
