Tuned Audi RS6 Burns Down in Abu Dhabi
We received a tip today about an Audi RS6 that recently burnt down in Abu Dhabi. The pictures don’t do much to clarify the situation, but it seems that the owner returned from a high-speed trip, parked the car at his house, walked away and came back to find the front ablaze.
The reasons for the blaze aren’t certain at the moment, our tipster suggests that heat from the brakes ignited something inside the engine bay. Obviously, the whole car will now end up being a write off. Luckily nobody was injured.
No Audi RS6 imports for North America
MTM distributor Horchaus has announced they have failed to secure the required clearances to import Audi RS models into North America.
According to Horchaus, "We did not manage to work our way through the regulatory commissions to ensure that the cars indeed meet all North American regulations." While that's a little vague, the company added they "could not finalize the legalization of these vehicles here without the appropriate collaborators." The latter statement is a tad interesting because Horchaus had reportedly inked a deal with Audi to modify cars to become street legal in the United States and Canada.
As we have previously reported , Horchaus had planned to import models like the RS6, RS6 Avant, and B7 RS4 Avant. Unfortunately, that won't be happening.
On the bright side, Audi recently confirmed the RS5 will be offered in the U.S. in 2012.
