Audi RS6, 7 jun '09: Preview 1

After a looong development, based on the S6 Avant 3D model, I'm proud to release the first RS6 preview. The plug is missing interior, need to have lights fixed, and other small things around, like colors.

The RS6 is the new plugin made with the good Tomte's knowledge, who helped me in tweaking the car behavior and crunching the file's numbers. Still today i can't believe i was able to do this model...

Smells good.

testing is started.

The .car is quite done, and will need tweaks on suspensions and aerodynamics. Actually the car has an understeery behavior. What do u think about? Should this car is understeery?

watching these videos i would say no ... btw, this car is just a beautiful beast waiting to be unleashed





note: @ 3:31 the fun begins

Leo - Tiff himself says the car understeers and feels very heavy in the corners. Perhaps Audi's tightened things up for the sedan, though. You can see a bit of this in the first video at 3:08-3:11 as the driver is pulling it out of the power slide and actually trying to get it around the corner.

You might not understand what he says but listen to the front wheels: (2:10, 2:50 and at other places)

One of his comments: "If there is anything in the world that you can feel sorry about, then it is front wheels from Audi"
He states that the car understeers quite a bit, due to a 60/40 weight distribution and a weight of more than 2 tonnes.
He still thinks that the car handles kind of well, cause Audi set it up in a way the the rear will help you turning in, so that can set it up properly for a corner.
To get the rear coming round and do powerslides/4 wheel drifts, it needs to be provoked (which you can see at 1:45).
Still, he calls it a truck.

oopsie ... perhaps i should pay more attention after my second "cup of crack"

The wheels are speaking German too but I can translate: "AAAAAAAAARRRRGH!"

This looks like it handles very much like Don's S6 Avant does, but more so.

This is really appreciate!

At the end, with slowDan we got a good work. This time I got the tomte help in tweaking. And yes, we are going to have our Redline RS6 as much close as the Tomte/Leo videos...

I hardly waiting your feelings

EDIT: nice video reportages, thx!

the tweaking and setup is coming really well, and quickly. And I would to get this chance to give my thanks to Tomte for his good work on suspensions and handling tweaking. I really appreciate his works, and once I asked him an help in developing the brand new 2009 Audi RS6, I cannot think the car may coming so real and fun.

We got a good .car on which work. I'm spending hours in testing and what I can anticipate is: WOW!

A quick update, thx to Tomte help on fixing:

the GT3 tournament is done. developing is started a full pace...

and here the first sneak out. 2:06'57 through RP...

here a new update:

Ooh! looks too good!

first preview is available, look at first post to download it...

Seems like you like fat ladies Don

Had some races in mp tonite and it was a pleasure to bring that baby along the curves. Handles really nice.
Its just another heavy car, needs lots of breaking. But thats not negative - just a flavour.

thanks for your work!
