What was the car in layer cake?

[wildoliver]

Quick question, have been looking for a variety of cars to solve a problem I have which is basically needing a towbar plus fun in the same package for a couple of years, I am trying to resist the temptation of a subaru 5 door imprezza and have been looking at Mercedes Sl's.

I can't find a good SL I like for my budget that doesn't drop oil all over the place so back to the drawing board.

I really like the car in layer cake, and don't know what it was, I guess an RS$ or RS6, but it may sound stupid in estate version I cannot tell the difference!

I know it has a v8 due to the sound of it, and it looked very nice, what is the difference between an rs4/s4 and do they do an s6? Probably very silly questions to you audi chaps but I really need a hand.

Also what would I expect to pay for the cars in question, and are there any pitfalls?

RS6 i think or was it just a S6

RS6

RS6

The actual car in Layer Cake was up for sale a year ago.

What should I realistically expect to pay for one? Are there different engine options, did they do an S6, are they fairly nippy?

anything from about 21k for a shoddy one, beware, they cost a lot to maintain! 29k prob buys something decent.

Nope, all 4.2 V8 twin turbo

did they do an S6

yes, as above with more subtle styling & no turbos

are they fairly nippy?

S6 nippy
RS6 bonkers

hope that helps
