Audi RS6 Caught in Spain Going 133mph with 870kg of Hashish

A smoking Audi RS 6 Avant was caught doing 213.8km/h on the A-49 stretch between Huelva and Seville in Spain. The driver was busy getting away from the long arm of the law, which in turn was keen on his load. Some law-enforcers spotted the big Audi carrying a number of rather suspicious-looking bags at the back. These could easily be seen through the clear windows.

Upon realising his steed was being closely examined, the driver planted his right foot on the floor, letting loose all power to reach a high of about 240km/h at some point. The agents of course gave chase for about 20km but could not catch the flying RS 6 with its 580 horses in full attendance.

Eventually the fleeing driver came up to some heavy traffic and could not exploit the car's engine anymore. So he got out and ran, on foot. It turns out he had quite a valid reason for his neck-breaking speed. A total of 27 bags of hashish weighing about 870kg (1,918 lbs) was confiscated from everywhere but the driver's side. The illegal cache's street value is estimated at €120,000 (US$180,500), about €10,000 less than a standard RS 6 Avant in Germany. The RS 6 driver was eventually apprehended.

That drug mule has good taste.

Ya see, Audi drivers are just tramps

Haha

The guts of a tonne in payload + driver. That exceeds the maximum total vehicle weight, so the driver should be jailed.

You can't overdose on Marijuana, Speed doesn't kill, the impact does, problem?



Solved methinks.

OMg, i sow pole first, and i was like: O-o?

The clear windows are the best bit. €120k of drugs and you won't spring for a €300 window tint?

I voted that speed kills because I wanted to be akward!

What an awful waste.. of a good car....

daveharnett

That's all well and good, but what about the important question.
Were his fog lights on?

Saab Ed

If only he'd have got himself an A6 TDI he'd have gotten away ....:D

KamiKazi

Can't agree with the hash, but 133MPH isn't that fast TBH.

guerito

If only he'd sampled some of his cargo, he would've slowed right down, probably evaded notice altogether

What's most impressive about this to me, is that the Spanish police give a Kilo of cannabis a street value of 137 Euro per KG or 4 EUR an Ounce.

Try getting that price here :pac:

The obvious choice of vehicle for this job, a Transit, can't do 133mph.

bazzachazza

Driver was arrested was quoted saying

EPM

What a complete and utter idiot...he didnt even secure the load:D

Drummerboy08

What a Dope.

Im sure his solicitor will hash up some old excuse to get him off the charge

With 870kg of cargo on board?

Victor_M

If the traffic hadn't forced him to stop an empty fuel tank would have soon enough.

Tinted windows and stick to the speed limit, in a transit would have done the trick, what an idiot.

Anan1

My first thought was that he'd stolen the load.

The car's kerb weight is a hefty 1985kg.

Add in 75kg for the driver and the 870kg of the load and that comes out at a whisker under 3 tonnes.

3 tonnes at 133mph is some serious momentum!

True, but it's not like the car has the suspension and brakes from a Transit

OldmanMondeo

Jasus Chris, you'll give a high horser an overload with this. And why can't people select 2 options, as this would speed thing up for the HHB.

In all seriousness thought, what a tool. Bet he is not worried about the fine / points for speeding of the time behind bars for the drugs, but worried about the guy who onwes the hash catching him....

So what? And what's a Transit got to do with it anyway? It's still a 3 ton estate going 133mph.

Give credit where it's due.

This is the worlds greatest car advert. Drugs, car chases, kept it under control, outran police while weighing twice their cruisers. Are you sure Audi didnt do this to boost sales?

I swear some shady types have just put the big super avant on their purchase list now. With factory Tints this time.
