May be fast and competent, but it's ghastly. Old enough to remember when Audis were discreet and even elegant. How did we get to that from these:

LOL exactly. Who the f**k buys this stuff? There must be a robust market for it as Abt have been going for a while now. Beats me.

biglaugh have you seen the price?

Personally I love the styling & sheer presence & that before the extra BHP.

I am interested in hearing your explanation of that word in relation to the subject matter?

You could say that for all manufacturers though. Ford and Ferrari for example

He means it’s the sort of thing a drug dealer, muscle gym owner or self-made builder would buy. Council has nothing to do with how much you earn.

I strongly suspected somebody other than the person I was asking the question to would respond, that is why I put "your" in bold type.
Maybe you are authorised to speak for him, but I wonder if he agrees with what you said word for word. biggrin

So going by your explanation...does "council" make it bad, because I'm still not sure?

It’s not difficult to work out, why not use the DM facility if you want a private conversation?

Personally I wouldn't want the signatures all over it, but I would not say no.
Quick question. Would you ever try to use something like all of its potential 4up?
I don’t mind scaring a like minded passenger but never go near the edge of the envelope with kids or others in the back.
Maybe I’m just an old fart…..

I would feel like a kn*b parking that on my drive. My neighbour has a stock RS6 and it looks great. This thing looks like it should be on the cover of a Max Power re-launch!

But it is difficult to work out, otherwise I wouldn't be asking the question.
Does it have anything to do with a house. confused

I have no interest in using the "DM facility"
You are apparently able to speak for everybody so there is no need...except you didn't answer my question! laugh

On the up side, it's not an SUV.

I do wonder though about its sporting pretensions. It weighs a lot. Sure, it has more horsepower than god, but it needs to handle, and stop as well. I appreciate the other modifications, but I just cant see how its weight can be hidden.

Given the price (which we don't know, but as another poster has already mentioned, "if you have to ask...") I would say owners can certainly afford a place with multiple parking spaces. In that case, why buy something so compromised? Buy half a dozen cars, a few bikes, a helicopter, small plane, etc?

Not my cup of tea, it’s rather OTT to look at. It’s certainly not for those who don’t want attention!

I’m not sure the ‘boggo’ (if there is such a thing) RS6!is short of grunt.

Even entry level cars have an agressive face nowadays. So I guess sport cars makers and tuner have to up their game. But classy designs disappeared a long time ago in my opinion.
A first I thought it was all because of the regulations but when you looks at sports motorbikes it's the same ugliness despite them not having to obey to rules affecting their design.
