C7 Audi RS6 Avant with full carbon fiber body kit!

This was the crazy the other week all over the internet. A complete naked carbon fiber RS6 Avant showed up in Monaco.



I've always been a fan of carbon fiber personally, but having a car that is completely carbon fiber is insane! In a good way. My concern would be with the upkeep. Sure, it's like any other car would be, but CF is known to discolor in the sun over time. Even more with CF engine bay components due to the heat under the bonnet. Still, it's very easy on the eyes. What do you think?

I think the front half is carbon fiber. From what I have read, the chassis itself and the back-half is just a wrap.

Interesting! If the back half is truly a wrap, that's a really good wrap. Do you have a link to this by chance? Usually you can really distinguish between a CF wrap and true CF.

I remember shmee talking about it on his tweeter feed, or somewhere there-abouts. Sounds like all the panels are carbon fiber...Not sure what that means.
