Before people start arguing about what’s better the M5, E63S or this. Just be thankful that manufacturers are still building these beasts, they’re all great cars and they’re not cancelling them for SUV’s.
@Chuck Taylor dude this car will be 80k in 2 years. 4 year old rs7s are still in the 70s with under 30k miles. Not to mention less headaches than a comparable m5.
Made my day! I am putting the deposit on one of these tomorrow! They told be that the delivery will be in August-Sep 2020. I am going to try order mine in Nogaro Blue with lots of CF! Also, I hope that Akrapovic catback will be a factory option again.
I've wrote letters to Audi when I was 16 and we didn't get the RS2 in the USA. I wrote more when I was driving a B7 Avant, and even more when I had my beloved 2014 RS5. That's over 20 years of letters written to get this car here. Thank you Audi, I cant wait!
I was wondering about this. I have the C7 RS7 here in the US. My buddy over in Europe has the same year as mine and doesn't have the pops mine has. We both think it's due to the regulation that he has over there. I imagine the new RS6 here in the US will have them...time will tell.
All those Pops and bangs can be tuned or tuned out of almost every car you hear doing it. I also think it sounds like shit and don’t get why people like it but there’s not any difference between this engine and any of the other ones you hear making obnoxious noises.
I live in the uk and when one of these goes past, everyone stares. Its a beast! When u guys see one on the road in the states in person, you will start crying, thats how good they are. very beautiful cars. Engineering to its finest.
@@basshead. The Porsche 911 lineup isn't worth its price either but people still buy them. A Mustang GT also doesn't seat 4 adults while also carrying a week's worth of stuff.

DoctaM3 euro models(like the one in the vid)have the exhaust particulate filters that makes them super quiet. The new R8 has it as well and they can be removed.
If you have a look at the CARWOW RUclips review of the RS6 you can hear the glorious V8 sound. I would expect though to need to fit it with an aftermarket exhaust kit for the best sound. 🖖
@@chasetingley1172 Your door sticker is referring to gross vehicle weight and not curb weight. Gross vehicle weight is the maximum amount the car would weigh with passengers and cargo. Actual weight of the w140 is around 4800 lbs.
I'm in love with Audi's new design language. Dream car is the RS7 but I could watch this all day. Looks just as good with just a bit more height and weight. Please do all you can to take out an RS7 on these roads!!
@8:06, "All I see in front of me is fresh new tarmac." Lovely when you can find it! Like this car in its appointments, accoutrements, and refinements...WOW!!! And it's purty on the outside too!
Dude, that focus rack at 3:32 is on point. Love how far both the channel and its cinematography have come over the years, its really a joy to witness. Keep it up Matt. Cheers.
Just a comparative note: The 2nd gen Cadillac CTS-V from 10 years ago had a top speed of 191 and did it with less power and smaller steel brakes. In fact, at 590 power/torque, this RS6 Avant only has about 30 more HP/TQ than the 2nd gen CTS-V, which can be had as both a wagon AND with a manual transmission. And the CTS-V wagon weighed about 4400 lbs. Still heavy, but not as heavy as the Audi, basically negating the power difference,. Just saying, it helps to keep things in perspective. the CTS-V wagon was way ahead of its time and still to this day holds up to direct comparisons with cars 10 years newer.
The older I get and the more cars I see and work on, the more I appreciate a good interior.. and my God, that is a prime interior spec right there. Now I REALLY want one of these. Hopefully they'll depreciate just like most of the other German cars of the last decade or two
To all the people who said they would buy one if they came to the US, but now complain it’s 130k plus, what did you really think it was gonna cost? Did you ever see what they cost in other countries in the past? You probably never paid attention to that! This is a high end Estate car. Not for the masses. It’s always been for the elite crowd that can afford them. Nothing has changed.
The dual clutch gearbox in the A6 does not feel as responsive as the 8 speed in the BMW's. If I could fit the BMW automatic to my new A6 Avant the car would be perfect!
@@McBeakerson yea they are beefy transmissions to. i drove a hellcat that had it and it was much smoother then my car and they had improved the shifts by allot but it was also 4 years newer then my car and a big step up. i kinda prefer it over the duel clutch just for the fact that its less maintenance
My 2003 RS6 sedan was my favorite car I've owned (don't tell my 911) and the new Avant is sure to be incredible! I recall mine being "governed" at 155mph but the real top speed was something like 186mph. I'll probably have to wait a decade to afford one, but it should be worth the wait!
It's the only car you'll ever need. Better practicality than a big SUV, handling of a regular sports sedan, looks BETTER than a sedan, as luxurious and refined as a car can get, and has the speed of a supercar, without the price of one. Not to mention that this RS6 drive train has been tested and proven to be EXTREMELY tough over the years, and can easily be tuned to 900-1000 hp and daily driven with absolutely no issues. The quattro system can handle over 1000hp, the gearbox at least 1000hp without any changes or upgrades. People drive these things in Germany on autobahn to work, 300 km/h cruising casually. Stock unlimited one will hit 330 km/h with no issues, and with a slight tune, you're looking at 350+.
No suv beats a wagon when it comes to handling. No crossover/suv Will take those fun corners without the risk of flipping. With this You get utility and fun at the same time. Too bad most people are missing out!
Super slick interior overview shots in the beginning; nice update to the One Take format :) Even though I'm increasingly over teched up, high power modern cars, I'm genuinely super happy to see an RS Avant in the states...damn this thing looks good. RS Monitor may be the best use for a screen in a car for an enthusiast that's been done yet!
Pilot Sport 4S for the 21s are only $1400 on tirerack. Seems like a good move. If you're a complete mentalist you could also run Sport Cup 2s haha. For the 22s PS4S are only $1600. Definitely the first mod for this car!
The all wheel drive system is a 40/60 front-rear split and through its active center diff distributes up to 85% of power to the rear wheels in Dynamic mode - same as the R8. Also it has a fully variable, electronically controlled self-locking differential on the rear axle, which is capable of torque vectoring. So yes, you could totally hoon it if you wanted.
They said one of the reasons they brought it back to America is because they already have the a6 allroad and that engine in another car for ease of homologation so hopefully that means we can get a rs4 avant
I really hope people buy these... I want an rs4 Avant here so bad, and that's the only way I'll ever get one. I love my s4, but the new rs4 Avant is amazing. love the rs6 too though
s6 avant in europe is a v6 tdi putting out more power then the v10 diesel few years before,along mild hybrid driving on the highway runs the generators to operate the wheels and cuts fuel to the engine. never to be seen in north america
Right?! Everyone prefers SUV’s which are less practical than wagons. I absolutely love wagons. I wish they gave us more here but I’m happy this RS6 is coming.
Love hot rod Audi's. I have a B9 S4 that I enjoy immensely. I balked at the RS5 Sportback cause I didn't think it was 30K better than my car. Had I bought that car would I think the RS6 is worth roughly twice the price of the 5? I dunno, maybe so. It sure does look the part. I say bravo Audi keep them coming. I'll need a replacement in 3-4 years.
I am one of the many , and i mean many station wagon enthusiasts who begged and pleaded with audi to bring this here. i will find a way to acquire this amazing piece of machinery. i will find a way to get this vehicle.
The cars sold in the states should be louder. Euro cars are fitted with particulate filters that quieten down the exhaust. Most of the noise you here is piped into the cabin through the speakers. Get an Akrapovic exhaust mod to unlock more sound.
I think it's great that Audi didn't send the engine sounds through the speakers (unless I'm wrong), yet the interior is so quiet I couldn't enjoy the noises of the car as much. Would have been nice to see how much stuff you could stuff in the back.
@@phantommedia9964 Definitely, looks like he turned left off Decker Rd/23 onto Mulholland? Like at the point where 23 goes from being Decker Rd to Mullholand, but turns left to backtracks on the non hwy 23 bit of it.
Right at 7:59 it says Little Sycamore Canyon Rd. Googled it, and the road Farrah is on is Mulholland Hwy. So basically this is the cross roads of Little Sycamore Canyon Rd and Mulholland Hwy.
They don’t add fake sound. Recording usually makes some exhaust sound wired. This also has the OP filter on the exhaust to filter carbon and reduce sound.
The problem I have is that this guy is doing launch control with oncoming traffic 20ft from him and he can’t wait the 5 seconds for him to pass. Great guidance..
I might be getting old, but it looks like someone slapped a try-hard body kit on what would have been a really clean evolution of this wagon. The wheels are excellent, and those seats hit the spot too.
New camera equipment? The drive by shots look really clean and the inside camera/mount also looks great. You can really appreciate the focus/unfocusing of the cameras during the drive-by's.

This regular RS6 doesn't compare against the E63s wagon but just the normal E63 wagon. There will be an RS6 Performance coming later like the last gen with around 50hp more.
As an owner of a 2014 E63 wagon, I promise you that they are not that bad. Actually maintain your cars unlike the crap Hoovie buys and it is a great car. Or find one certified pre-owned and get a 4 year unlimited mileage warranty...

I would buy a 2014 E63AMG Wagon for $45000 or so and save $85000 for repairs.
Cept they are reliable.. Invest that 85k
As an owner of a 2014 E63 wagon, I promise you that they are not that bad. Actually maintain your cars unlike the crap Hoovie buys and it is a great car. Or find one certified pre-owned and get a 4 year unlimited mileage warranty...
Shahul Usman these can never be “investment” lol no sir
@@kickyadick That's not what he meant. He meant, invest the left over $85k
I still just want the original rs2. This thing is basically just another SUV.
wasnt sure if I should watch this, JWW or carwow's review. When i saw Matt go on the closed road i knew i made the right choice. Keep up the great content Sir!
My absolute dream car. Maybe in a few years on the used market
