RE: Audi Sport unveils all-new 600hp RS6 Avant

[Ursicles]

Best news here is that it should knock C7 values a little so I can get a nardo grey one next yr for £45k

the lack of defuser means they can offer a tow bar for the first time

Earlier this year when I was doing some man maths I found several RS6 with factory tow bars fitted. There is simply a cut out in the diffuser like on the Allroad models.

I like the front and side profiles but I’m not a fan of the rear; it’ll need the black pack to get ride of / hide the silver tat. The interior looks like a lovely place to be.

There’s something very cool about fast estates; I was out on my bike Sunday night and a chap parked up in a Nardo grey RS6 that was his bike chariot.

What a mad looking machine that is! Love the headlights.

Will there be an rs6 saloon?

I'd guess/assume there'll be an RS7, like the last one.

Pros:
Warp speed getaway from Toll Booths on Autoroutes for six seconds

Cons
Otherwise utterly pointless

I bet in the metal this thing looks superb. Those arches will look menacing. I would really like an RS6, but think it is too big for my needs. 800nm of torque is going to be interesting...

This is my thoughts if it can push the C7 RS6 Performance prices down a bit I can start stocking them at work and use them

that's surprising as RS models are not normally regulation approved for tow bars so its not normally an option

Henry Catchpole stated the old air suspension models, but not the sports suspension, could have a tow bar - both have the ability for a tow bar now.

The exterior styling with all the plasticy looking silver bits is awful.

[markwm]

The standard car is Black Edition Guise looks much classier. Dunno what is going on at Audi design sometimes, they are so hit and miss.

[9k rpm]

How much change from £100k do we think?

Hahaha! Yup, pretty much. Still, how good would those 6 seconds be?

So same as every other fast GT car then.

In fact, same as every road car. Why bother. Let's all walk.

[Ruskins]

They are going over the top with the styling.

This looks like something the secret police would drive in a dystopian future where the Nazi's won the war - the press photos even look like its back stage at a party conference!

As if this car was not wide enough they make it 40mm wider each side!!!, madness, UK roads are not wide enough especially in towns to accommodate very wide cars, London for example is deducing parking widths, if caught with a tyre on the white line a fine will follow, over/outside the line A TOW AWAY !!!!.
Nanny state gaining momentum.

C8 rs6 = complete fail, like I was expecting.
This car has nothing on f90 m5 and e63s, bmw/merc beat audi at their on game. Laughable....

If I buy a car like this I absolutely don't care about laser headlights, and all other BS, all I want to do is to go sideways, it's the 1# priority!

Agreed My F90 M5 comp is staying.

[Uncool]

Absolutely goping.

Looks almost like a caricature of itself.
