Its not an engine out of a lamborghini, the Lamborghini has an engine out of an audi 😂
Hector yea i hate when people say that, Audi is the one that makes the engines. And not 5.0l 5.2l
Audi describes the 5.2-litre V10 as a 'derivative' of the Lamborghini's V10, and in fact the 5.2 shares very few components with the 5-litre Lamborghini unit, the only significant shared parts being the drivetrain for the four camshafts. The reason is that the Audi V10s are built at the same factory as every other Audi engine, which, for economies of scale, has been configured to produce engines with a common 90mm bore spacing. The bore spacing of the Gallardo engine is 88mm. This is how the Audi V10 ends up with a different cylinder block, a new crankshaft, different pistons and new camshafts, while the more restricted engine bay, plus Audi's desire to give the engine its FSI direct injection, result in bespoke induction and exhaust systems and a new sump.
Oh gosh relax, global warming won’t stop bc you know who built the engine first, it’s still the same thing
@@HypnOlli the 5.2 v10 is just a bigger and better 4.2 v8 from audi. the 5.0L lambo was its own engine but it wasn’t reliable
I wish we had a few unrestricted stretches of road here in the UK. The government should do a big 5 lane autobahn that goes from north of London all the way to Scottland. Make it a (reasonably priced) toll road, so drivers have the choice (and keep vans and lorries well away) I'm sure that plenty of people would be bang up for giving that a go!!!
Problem is some would mess it up for the rest in Germany everyone has Lane discipline.
@@incognito96 yeah, Germans are the ultimate in efficiency, no doubting that!!! The UK is generally ok, but could definitely improve on their lane discipline (we get lots of drivers that just sit in the middle lane and refuse to move over) Half of the problems we get are down to foreign drivers who (maybe) are used to driving on the right or just shouldn't be driving.
We have plenty of open space here in the USA, but as was stated previously, more than one somebody would mess it up here, too. Slow drivers are constantly driving in the passing or overtake lane here in the States which is illegal in most states.
@@rusty3831 yeah, plenty of open space is a big understatement I hear haha!!! Do you not have any stretches Stateside that you can do big speeds??? Surely some of those desert roads, or other secluded roads are not heavily policed??? I've not been to the US so I dont know what the situation is there. In the UK we have well made motorways and ring roads that you can build some big speeds up on, but you are risking at least your licence (if you are doing big speeds you might be going to prison if caught!) I live in a small town in Essex that has a decent bypass/ring road that I used to do 130+mph daily for around 4 or 5 years in the 90s. I was driving my Astra GTE 2.0 ltr 16 valve hot hatchback in those fun/crazy years, and 135mph was absolutely flat out in a little 1989 car that would definitely killed me if I'd crashed haha!!! I never got caught, and even to this very day have never been caught speeding although I have slowed down considerably nowadays (I'm married with 3 kids now, so I have something to lose!) Cars are so much faster now too, with a lot of hot hatchbacks now doing 150+mph and 0-60mph in 5 or 6 seconds (my car used to do 60 in around 7 seconds) The AWD superhot hatches are doing 60 in under 4 seconds and some are doing 170mph at the top end. I think I would have died if I'd driven one of those bad boys!!!
David Kennedy - We have many highways that might be suitable for high speeds, but like you say, one risks the proverbial speeding ticket, loss of license, etc. Local police in any given jurisdiction can be nasty to deal with. Most highways have a 75 mph speed limit, and there might be some with an 85 mph, but not too sure of those.
Well 155 at powerful, luxury limousine like S6 and the competition is easy! Try 95 mph in old underpowered family hatch - that is a challenge :D
Benzinio I got 90mph out my 1l 2001 corsa yesterday 😂😂😂 only got 58bhp
i drove a fucking 1L kia picanto on LPG 160 kph :D
My old car a Corsa 1.0 L w/ 60hp was going 200km/h on the speedometer it was downhill with backwind but still impressive.
I'm not saying you cant. I'm saying it is a bigger trill and adrenalin rush then much faster driving in big powerful car engineered to do so. At 120 mph the Audi is like stationary wile those little cars you quote are over thee limit and you feel like you die en the next moment
My 1972 Rover 2000TC will do 100mph quite happily, in fact it was designed to cruise at that speed until the 'temporary' 70mph limit came in... Fuck the government, 70mph with modern cars is a joke of a limit
I'm doing 155 MPH while writing this message on Mexico's Autobahn.
Nowadays it is a completely different thing. Loads of road works and the density of the traffic got more intense so during the day it is now almost impossible to go Vmax.
If one feels the need for speed you have to do that on a Friday or Saturday evening when most trucks are not permitted to drive and the daily traffic has come to its minimum.
Your an idiot u don’t go max speed on a Friday or Saturday unless ur tryna get caught up w the police
Yea we dont have the infastructure for this. Build them and yes but the roads are too clogged and too full of incompetent drivers who are not used to this as they are on the continent. Need to ban lorries buses coaches too and anything towing anything.
You had me in suspense... until the End. Thanks for the video.
It’s quite hard to get up to 155 mph. Cars do pop out as they aren’t looking back far enough.
The fuel any car uses when hammering it, is jawdropping
With this car it isn’t hard at all to hit 155, hold your foot on the gas at 100mph and you’ll hit 150 ina few seconds
I hit 155 last night quite quickly
Imagine having unrestricted sections of motorway in the UK. With 95% of the population having zero road sense, common sense or discipline it would be carnage.
They literally do a close up of the engine with '5.2' slapped on it, then Jason goes on to say, 5 litre. 😅
Travel back in time.. i like this
Also the prices were soo goood...
That car is beautiful
Dual Carriage does not mean 2 lanes - it means separated from the oncoming traffic by the central divider
3:56 except you won't see that many Germans doing 155+ in that much rain... even here in Germany.
Ah yes, the good old days when I owned a 90 hp diesel and 155 mph seemed like an insane and impossible speed. Now I go 170+ usually every two weeks when I start to miss it 😂.
As you did not have an independent measure of your speed how can you be sure the on board measurement is correct?

Autobans are different to uk motorways in every way. Every corner is made like a race track with all angles kept etc. Watch documentary about it. Another thing is they are not going uphill and downhill as much as uk roads so visibility is greater and even with a greater speeds you can still anticipate. Lastly lanes width are greater also.
Is it true that a test drive at Wiesmann builds up to a stretch of unlimited autobahning?
Cute, I do it everyday

but has an engine from a Lamborghini - beautiful V10 and four exhaust pipes and quite big changes to the bumpers and massive wheels.
that does not scream 'boring' and definitely easily recognisable that it's not just a normal A6!
"Most boring LOOKING" at least quote it correctly.
Yeah, about that V10 engine - why did it have to be detuned from the 444bhp it made in the S8 from the time to 429bhp in the S6?
It’s not the same as Lamborghini engine the rs6 v10 is closest but got turbos the crank is totally different on s8 s6
@@joshbacon8241 it was detuned to prevent it from eating into the profit margins of the S8, R8, and gallardo, why the fuck would you buy a Audi s8 or gallardo for way more money when you could get a s6 for a fraction of the cost, that’s your answer
@@joshbacon8241 unlike most people commenting on this vid I actually own this car
And all our "Super Highways / Smart Roads" in the UK have silly restrictions....About time we took this into account. Speed obviously doesn't kill.stupidity does.
There is a word called accident. A definition is here;
"noun
1 an unfortunate incident that happens UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY, typically resulting in damage or injury: he had an accident at the factory | [mass noun] : if you are unable to work owing to accident or sickness."
Now, as it's something that often cannot be predicted stupidity doesn't have a say in it. Your cliche is false.
@@gottliebdee263 They are called road traffic "Incidents" Now... not accidents.
an event that is either unpleasant or unusual
..not sure what the point of all this was ..
@@AdeReeves Stupidity suggest it's the fault of the driver. A blow out probably doesn't come under that banner. A blow out at 155 is a lot more of handful than a blow out at 70. That's what the point was, lot's of things can happen at that speed and you don't know how you, (or others on the road at the time), will react.
It's pretty stupid to say it's just stupidity.
@@gottliebdee263 Well that's me (and Jason) put in our places .
@@AdeReeves That's not my point or intention. The rules are there invariably because there are too many people that take the piss and that has a bearing on us all.
That person that pulls into the fast lane at the last minute with one flash of the indicator. This may be because they can't judge speed, or because they think it is their responsibility to slow you down, (or both). People like that are not exposed by speed cameras, (neither are the speeders), so we need some way to manage everybody.
Police are too expensive to fill up the roads with and they are not as objective as a camera, (at the moment).
i do not understand the comment that you cannot tell the difference between an audi a6 and s6.
the subtle differences are massive...
More importantly, why the hell this 1080p video looks like a 240p? :s
Upscaling.
I had nine to 165 mph once and could of gone more was just the first clear stretch I got chance to push it
why are they publishing 10-year-old clips on youtube?
It´s new. But they can´t afford new cameras because they are on a low budget.

Get ecu tuning done (removing the 155mph limiter) and you’ll be flying. However u would have to get better tyres
Wow.....watched the vid twice and still don't believe that such speeds could be possible in 2006
The 300SL could do 250kmh back in the 60s
What a random comment 😂😂 155 in 2006? Was achievable by many a slighlty warm compact exec diesel 6 cylinder! Even mainstream hot hatches were nudging 150. Golf. Gti astra vxr focus st 5 pot.

Why did Audi have to detune the S8’s V10 from 444bhp to 429bhp in the S6? carmagazine.co.uk said that this was apparently “to keep the marketing men happy”.
Now, I’m not sure what keeping the marketing men happy has to do with the fact the engine had to be detuned for use in the S6...
well, I suppose they need you to have a reason to go for the more expensive S8 over the S6, if they had the same power (and presumably less weight in the S6) it'd be really tricky to market the slower S8 to anyone
KarlosBricks Because if the S6 and the S8 had the same power as each other, the S6 would be quicker, so why would people buy the S8 when they could buy an S6 to get better performance for less?
They wouldn’t, so S8 sales would plummet as a result!
that is literally what I just said :D
It could also be in order to improve the reliability. The old Audis had very good reliability and that was probably meant to be kept.
He needs to switch his headlights on to make sure he can be seen.
it hit 155 and weren't on the limiter and it even changed up into 6th.
Tv magic....
Perfect Audi
Why does it look like he’s only doing 50mph max😂
It always Looks slower on Video than it actually is
I did umm cough cough 55 as well in the UK 😜
At night u can drive almost on every Autobahn VMax
At night on UK smart motorways. Speed cams are often set to 98 so look out
Oh shit
Hopefully not because I always fly down there when there isn't much traffic
Thats ok then. I have a reminder that bongs when i do 95. I cant afford to get a ban. Not worth it. You get most places in the uk fairly quick you do a solid 90.
Nice video from the 80s.
the 8s ???
noureddine elcadi no, the 80s.
my audi a6 3.0tdi will do 155 as will most larger audi, bmw or mercedes and looking at the slow speed that speedo went up i wasnt overly impressed. not to say i dont want one.
Isn't it true that you CAN do any speed you want on the Autobahns, but if you crash, and insurance can prove you were doing over 130kmh, they won't cover your car, only the car you hit?
Why is this crap a decade old
CZcams is worldwide, gotta think there are millions of people who might not of seen this. In a few years there could be lots of people watching who weren't even born at the time of it originally airing.The internet is a powerful thing.

My 2006 bmw 330d with 300hp is faster than that Audi. my car got better acceleration and top speed!
300 hp might not sound much but it’s way more hp than what regular family cars got.
As I said my car got 300 hp but that’s not the reason it’s so fast.
It’s fast because it got a sport chassi and tons of torque
Sebbe kartellen so if it not the reason then you’re saying having 100hp is the same as having 300hp because you have a sport Chassi
ReflexFusion98 I don’t even know why I said that, I guess I was trying to say that: just because a car got like 460hp doesn’t automatically make it faster than my 300hp car because my car might have better aerodynamics, less weight, better grip etc.
Imagine a race between a 500hp mustang and a 300hp Kawasaki H2 motorcycle. The motorcycle will win so damn hard even though it got 200hp less than the mustang. Why? Because the motorcycle weighs a lot less than the car.
and my car got a lighter chassi than the Audi and that’s why it’s faster.
Also I was lying all the time because my bmw is a touring model and it’s heavier and got a slower acceleration than the Audi. But it does have a higher top speed at 172mph
