Reliable source
Is this link classed as a WP:RS? I have particular concerns regarding their quote that the new RS6 is limited to a production run of 999 units - however, my local Audi dealer is not able confirmed this, and the official Audi sites (Audi.com, Audi.co.uk, and the press sites) all have no such indication of a production run limited to 999 cars! -- Teutonic_Tamer (talk to Teutonic_Tamer) 19:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I have never heard of total production of 999 units -- except the special run of "RS6 Plus Avant" towards the end of C5 RS6 (2002-2004) production. Each of these RS6 Plus got a serialized plaque saying "XYZ of 999" of some sorts near the transmission selector. I do not know if all of claimed 999 RS6 Plus were ever produced. Several reference to this numbers are as follows:

http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/47314/audi_rs6.html http://www.worldcarfans.com/2040418.002/audi-rs6-plus-with-extra-zest http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_101273/title_AUDI-AG-Launches-RS-6-with-Extra-Zest/newsarticle.html etc.


 * I think the key phrase is "no more than 999 will be produced..."


 * Now, the total number of C5 RS6 (incl RS6 Plus) is somewhere around 7000-8000 worldwide. The link http://www.worldcarfans.com/2041022.001/production-of-the-audi-rs-6-comes-to-an-end claims 8081 total. There are some other different numbers. The total numbers of RS6 imported into USA was supposed to be almost 900, but in the end at least 1437 units were imported - this is in reference to a Service Action Campaign dated issued in beginning of 2009 (link of a copy: http://forums.audiworld.com/rs6/msgs/45538.phtml) claimed by Audi of America. (For clarification, *all* RS6 imported and sold in States by Audi of America had D.R.C. suspension system. D.R.C. was optional elsewhere in the world.) Sorry, I don't know French.

 * Turbo.fr is the official website of the Turbo TV show. It's broadcast weekly on French channel M6. I'd classify that as reliable. --Pc13 (talk) 22:43, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Strange statement
"The DRC's main disadvantage is that it operates without the need for complicated electronics" what kind of statement is this?--Hooperbloob (talk) 04:10, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I was wondering the same thing! 86.181.117.134 (talk) 03:41, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The kind of statement it is, is part of a string of vandalism from the same IP address on April 27, 2012. This person also changed the caption of the interior photograph to indicate that the Audi's seats are "inferior to those in the CL55 AMG" and changed the sentence after the one in question to state the failure of the Audi suspension could "cause death."  He also claimed in the same sentence that the suspension is "clearly inferior to Mercedes."  I have reverted the vandalism. P924 CarreraGTS (talk) 19:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that! What do you think about his 'five or more miles of flat asphalt' edits on 4 May? Mischievous at best, IMO. 86.181.117.134 (talk) 03:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I removed that as well. Obviously this person does not have the best interest of the page in mind, and that statement even if true is not cited or particularly relevant.  Top speed is top speed, regardless of distance required to achieve it. P924 CarreraGTS (talk) 20:53, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
