Audi RS6 Avant Performance Review | The Best Car We’ll Never Have
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2019
- A four door wagon with Quattro all-wheel drive, a turbocharged V8, and 605 horsepower from the factory. What more could I ask for? Well, maybe for Audi to start selling it in America.

#audi #rs6 #carreview
I always seem to make a small typo somewhere in these videos. On the Fast List portion, I put 2019 Audi R8 V10, it's actually the 2017 Audi R8 V10 that we tested a few weeks ago. And then the M850i is a 2019 model, not 2018. Must've been all those sangrias. Also, check out the Director's Cut Review of this car here >>> ruclips.net/video/nRFuTvY66O0/видео.html
Track Day TV I hear ya!
Them sangrias will sneak up on ya!
I’ve got the Same Model in Nogaro Blue............and I fucking Love it...
The production quality on your videos is through the roof! Reminds me of the grand tour/top gear level. I show your videos to people who watch other car RUclipsrs, they like it. Keep it up bro
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it!
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy my pleasure!
I bought that car 2017, it has been ridiculously fun to drive everyday. Those days i need the extra space, i got it plus the crazy performance it has. I dont want to change it 💪🏻
Absolutely love the added footage at the end when you meet the bus. Shows that what you do is controlled and you don't take stupid chances when shooting your videos.
I want to start doing more outtakes again. That was terrifying though. I don't even know how that bus fit up on that road. I guess even the bus drivers are race car drivers.
This is so Top Gear-esque, it's crazy! You need to try an episode with a British accent haha.
Wow the scenery, your cinematography is on another level.
I always kinda wonder why Audi never send the RS6. Some people here in the states would enjoy a performance wagon, like the CTS-V wagon or the E63 AMG Wagon. Great video as always my friend.
Audi is going to make this happen! www.caranddriver.com/news/a27113063/audi-rs6-avant-wagon-u-s-future/
@@brakesforsnakes757 they've been saying this for years hopefully
Yes sir! Bro.. Amazing road. Audi really does make some special vehicles.
One of the best videos to date! Interesting car, great location, and a literal bus at 9:51
I've driven a friends RS-6 and thought it was a phenomenal machine. Incredible feedback to your hands and through the seat. Feels like your attuned to every component, nut, and bolt in the entire machine. Ya, I could see owning one of these. Superb vid, my friend- thank you. Your channel is like going to a really good movie. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks Neil, I always appreciate the comments!
Great review! The videography is simply amazing.
Came here without my popcorn was not disappointed 😎
Holy shit, what a machine. The sound of this V8 is absolute eargasm to me. Funny fact, I find myself leaning my head toward my open window to hear my side exit exhaust more. Damn, this is such a cool car. I think carbon ceramics wouldn’t be practical on the car for daily driving, but if you were tracking it, I think you’d need them to stop the 4,500 lbs over and over again without losing brake pressure, or without overheating the brakes by accident.
The suspension must be very finely tuned to the weight of the car. It’s a bit older, so body roll is to be expected, but it helps the car handle so precisely, as well as the steering to be so precise in those turns. The vectoring differential must make a HUGE difference in the power distribution during even straight line acceleration.
The acceleration was insane. You were even surprised at how fast it was. I was too, like holy shit. The way this car sounds is immensely much greater than most V8s I’ve heard. I never really looked at this car the way I do after this video, so thank you for that. Now, the acceleration did bring up a key issue I’d like to address. See, I’m not a big fan of VAG (Audi/VW) limiting their motors, even in their RS models, to shift BEFORE REDLINE. My Passat used to do that, and it makes so much more power in redline than it did before. The RPM limiter holds back so much potential the car could have, and its sad they do that. I understand maybe it’s to get the engine to last longer, but if I’m driving a RS, I’m driving it to go fast, then get rid of it and buy a new one, not to keep it for a long ass time. I love the car, but keeping the engine from taking in a full breath is terrible. You are less in the power band the whole acceleration with the RPMs limited like that. I don’t understand why they do this.
The way it looks is so aggressive, and I don’t mind analog gauges and small screen displays, or none at all either. I’m old school when it comes to that, as long as the interior looks nice. The exterior looks great too, and the Avant is a rare sight in our country.
It seems like a very practical car. I enjoyed watching it drive.
Also, careful in those blind corners haha! Damn that must’ve been close and that would’ve been a lot of $$$ if you would’ve hit something
Anyways man, great video as always. I’d love to own one of these one day, or at least a car with the same motor. Such a sound it makes. Hope all is well my friend.
Yeah, one of the best sounding exhausts you can get in a 4 door car, IMO. I really enjoyed all the pops and bangs. You'd think that it'd be better for track driving, but it's only good until you need to replace them. And then it'll cost you an arm and a leg. On the Z06, all the track guys often opt for the steel rotors because they are cheaper to replace each season. Same goes for the CCB's, we swap them out for steel rotors and put the CCB's back on for resale.
To be honest, I didn't even realize that this car had the torque vectoring diff until I did a little more research. But comparing it to the other heavy hitting cars I've driven, this is by far the best. I feel like it handles better than the S5 I drove last month, and that car is like 700# lighter.
Don't even get me started with the straight line acceleration. The numbers don't seem that fast, but the way it feels when the boost hits makes it feel very much like that Stage 2 TTRS that I tested. It's like this "oh shit" feeling in first and second gear because you have the traction with all the power. So to address your question, I'm not sure it's that way with their turbocharged platforms. See, the reason I do the full manual runs is so that I can see what happens if I shift at redline instead of whatever the computer proposes. In both cases, the RS6 and the TTRS, both cars shifted slightly earlier than the limiter, but where both significantly faster because of that. I think for turbo cars, it keeps the boost in the band longer.
My wife asked me, right after our trip to Spain, what my favorite car I've driven since the start of this channel was. And my answer was undoubtedly this RS6 Performance. And if you asked me this again right now, the answer is still the same (and I just drove my friend's Huracan today). I really can't wait to see what the next gen RS6/7 will bring us. That is probably the Audi I will own for sure.
Thanks for this comment, I really enjoy reading them and hope I'm able to answer any questions you may have.
Track Day TV oh so it keeps the boost in the boost band. That makes sense, but with some tuning and custom performance mapping, you could probably get the boost and the RPMs to hold further.
Oh man, the huracan. You must’ve had a lotta fun
@@noblevengeance312 Haha, it wasn't a review or anything. I'm hoping to get to actually do an episode on it. He was getting it delivered today, so he wanted me to come hang out and experience it with him. Same fella with the R8 V10 I tested, but he traded it in for the Huracan. I joked with him saying how he traded his V10 R8 for a fancier V10 R8. 😄😄
Track Day TV haha that’s interesting. The new R8 looks absolutely insane though. Personally, I would’ve traded in the bubbly looking R8 for the 2020 one 😉. But hey, Lamborghini is Italian performance at its greatest, so I can’t blame him at all!
100% Agree. I think the facelifted R8 V10 looks like a beast. But seeing both cars next to each other today, I feel like it's like choosing between two beautiful women. The Lambo just has that cool name factor, but if I'm honest, I feel like they are getting overplayed now. Every exotic car meet I go to has more Lambo's than most other brands and I feel like they are losing their sheen.
I have zero interest in this car, yet I watched the entire video. That's talent! Thnx man
So I Watched this and the directors cut version back to back. And I have to say I enjoy this style much more. It's so different than most other channels and it def sets you apart from the rest. Not saying the other one is bad, just saying this is what you should be doing. Just my two cents tho. Keep it up!
You know how I know this was an amazing video? I thought I was only half way through the video when the blooper section came. 10 minutes went by quick. Not sure why, but out of all your videos this had me the most intrigued. Keep the bloopers coming.
Haha, thanks Eric. I will continue with my bloopers at the end!
Thanks for the video, this is my all time favorite car, I would buy one if they were available in the US. The E63 AMG and C63 AMG wagons are very nice but this is the ultimate sports wagon .......
I almost cried! We want sporty station wagons back in US! Golf R Variant, Rs6 avant, Subaru Legacy wagon with turbo engine, etc... but sadly, people seems to prefer suv instead of sedans, coupés and wagon.
SUV's suck tbh. Less practical than wagons, worse to drive etc.
ykhs but a real suv have a higher ground clearance. But what we call suv is juste a lifted car like the subaru crosstrek or the honda hrv. I agree with you, i’d rather have a roomy and fun car than a suv that handles like jello beacause of the high center of gravity. And my 2011 jetta is on h&r lowering springs and i dont rub anywhere, and if i want to go offroad, i’ll take a bike or a quad, and in the snow, a snowmobile. Anf if there’s a big snowstorm, i’ll stay home and be safe rather than trying to be cool with my suv.
Amazing video, I know for a fact you're going to have over 2 million subscribers in the next year.
Thanks! I hope so!
How I love living in Europe and having the posibility of owning anything as long as I can afford it, even all jdm cars. No dumb restrictions, no homologations etc. This is why I can also import any car from US 😁.
Well you do have to pay a road tax I believe, which is correspondent to your engine size (?), I'm not exactly sure how it all works.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy 400 usd anually for any car above 2.5L engine, so its not bad.
I can wait every Thursday to see your car reviews keep going man with your amazing videos
Thank you very much!
BRuh the production this is fucking crazy its like watching a documentary
Another excellent review, thank you sir! I lament the fact that we Americans have created the perception that we don't like wagons, so we've missed out on cars like the RS4 avant, RS6, and E60 M5 wagon.
I love this cinematic style. And at the same time very informative reviews.
Wtf 1936 views? This video deserves way more, nice work dude
Thanks! I don't get it either. But it's all good, as long as people get some enjoyment out of the videos I make, I'm content.
This is easily my best video on this channel so far.
🙌🙌🙌
I get the feeling it was super special.
But that's expected of the Audi RS6 Though i seriously suspect even with similar powertrain hardware the RS7 is a little faster.
This to me is Audi's best sounding v8.
109% musical 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks! I also feel that way. I don't know if it's the car, the scenery, or just the trip in general, but I feel like I put in more effort than usual for this one. However, I think it may be my last review like this for a while. It takes a lot of work and I would like to take it easy for a little bit. I'm going to be experimenting with a few different styles and formats in the coming weeks.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy aye we shall be waiting.
👍👍👍
Coming from a huge Audi fan, well done 👌🏽
great review and top quality production standard - really enjoyed this and have subbed
Wow what a production
hope you get to review some of the super SUV'S ... TRACK HAWK, SVR, X5M, ETC
Don't worry, I will. Trackhawk is definitely up on the list.
Ah, Great time to watch. Work break. Was selected to drive a manual C63 into the lot today 😉. Will comment again when the video ends
love the production value of your videos!
Rumor has it the next generation wagon will come to the US! I sure hope so! Great video as always.
2020 is here, the RS6 is there, and it is the worst RS6 Audi released in a while.
@@cutdepiefails6596 I make you right there. It sounds pathetic at the side of the C7. It’s lots the C7s curves and gained squared off box arches........
The US has ended up with the one Audi looks like it’s given up on
I want to figure out how to import the C7 RS6 to Canada ( 15 year lockup ) first, then to US
This is some really high quality shit bro, you need a lot more subs
It's a good day to be a wagon fan. It'S COMING
American here, living in Germany owning a C7 RS6.
The new all digital dashboard RS6 is amazing. Beats most supercars dead. Best car ever made as it really can do it all. You can sleep in it with the rear seats down n obviously a decent blow up mattress. I’ve had 6s since my first one in 2008 n tried when buying another car to find something better but I can’t. That’s the trap u fall into. My advice is to buy a slightly used one with maybe no more than 2k on the clock. It will b half price n I would of put that 2k on the clock in a month if I’d bought it new so saving myself 60k easily by doing that.
Avant is coming to the states!
Wow this one was really entertaining. Like of the other comments, this felt very nostalgic to the original Top Gear series.
You've got to love it, the next RS6 has a lot to live up to as this model is now slowly becoming iconic and the standard for for big estate ( Wagon ) cars. It's like the high jump you have to outdo your personal best and beat the every one else's to make people want to stick with the Audi brand.
.
Ps Audi if your looking for a UK ambassador I am that man and will that person who loves the brand and needs a RS6 in my life.
I am going to like and comment on every video you've posted. All others that agree that this channel deserves to be seen more way more people should do the same.
Let's boost this algorithm boys!
The RS7 is a really underrated car in the US. Not many people have them and they also have a ton of mod potential.
djohnson21988 ugly tho
Another great video. Thanks!
Got to be the most versatile car on the planet.
America needs more wagons
Cinematic Mozart
Amazing video
Love this! Which camera are you using inside the car while driving & talking?
@Karim Diab The Panasonic GH5S
Those shifts are ridiculously fast at 5:51. Like pdk fast. I always thought these were a dual clutch, along with the RS7 but was shocked when I found out they’re autos. Wouldn’t be surprised if these shifts are quicker than an auto hellcat or the f90 m5.
Yeah, it is definitely faster than the auto Hellcat I drove. I can't comment on the F90 M5 yet, but I will try and find out soon!
Absolutely gorgeous review man 👍🏻
All I can say is brilliant
Awesomeness! Well done again
Great video as always. So frustrating Audi is not selling this in the US. Please review the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio! Perhaps with the manual transmission, even though thats not being sold in the US either... sheesh.
Thank you! I'll try to get an Alfa Giulia QV soon, but it's hard enough to get that car as it is, so I think a manual version would be impossible unless I go back to Europe. Rumor has it that soon they will bring the RS6 Avant to the US, so fingers crossed for that car.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy With Audi making this much noise about what "might" be coming, you can be certain that they are bringing the new RS6 Avant stateside. They will do great with it as well!
audi should get you to do their commercials! you're hilarious - and spot on.
It’s coming to USA now
Great video! My next car, viewing one next week 😍
That's awesome, I'm sure you'll love it 👍
Track Day TV i bought one in Mica Blue, it’s an incredible machine and easily the best car i have ever driven :)
Glad we are getting one now 🔥🔥
The way u review the video it's like u are filming a movie lol😂
Warp factor 9 Mr Sulu.... Engage!
2:28 That camera used to shoot this is worth more than my car i'm guessing lol
No way haha, I shoot most of my stuff on a Panasonic GH5S which is ~$2,000 these days I believe.
My dream car
sick man, very nice work
WHAT👏🏽A👏🏽VIDEO👏🏽
I love the stock exhaust on that car! It is expensive though.
Please don’t stop making videos
Don't worry, I won't stop.
Audi Cockpits allways seem so perfect.....
and then there's those plastic pedal shifters
Ya dude what
Good news: We’re getting it in North America!
I saw the pics of the new one just now. Gorgeous. Need to figure out how to get one now
You and me both!
Hello guys! I'm starting a new chanel with reviews of sportcars in Spanish but your quality is outstanding. I assume that is a 25% camera and 75% edition, color grading etc but at least could you tell me what camera do you use? Thanks!
Thanks, I shoot mainly on Panasonic GH5S with a Metabones Speedbooster to adapt to Canon EF lenses. Best of luck with the channel!
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy thank you! Keep on with the good job
very nice work bro 👍
Bad ass wagon!!!!
dope video
Bruh, 9:51 ... that shit was hilarious 😂😂😂
I going to preorder it in 2 months for US
That car is just too wicked. That's why they won't let us have it.
Did you drive through Spain to get to Istán or drive around once you'd flown into Málaga for 5 hours?
We were vacationing in Marbella which is about half hour away from Istan.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy Spend quite a bit of time in Fuengirola so will give it a look. 45 minute drive Google maps tells me. Cheers
mph < kph
Spoke a little too soon ;)
Should try getting your hands on a 6th Gen SS 1LE or ZL1 Camaro.... they handle very well considering their weight....
Agreed. I remember seeing a crazy fast Nurburgring time from the ZL1 1LE. That car is amazing. I really need to try one out.
You have an awesome voice. Lol
I realize this is an old video, but do you have a map location for the building at 7:54?
@Tom Loder This was shot in Marbella, Spain on the drive up to Istan.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy any idea specifically? Look slike an epic spot for a house and garage.
So why is this beauty banned in the U.S.?
I guess the car was too good for us and Audi figured we wouldn't be able to handle its awesomeness.
Track Day TV I’m not surprised
9:51
10/10
You're doing bloopers now? Why wasn't this a thing in the beginning?
Actually, I did bloopers for a little while, then I came off of it and now I wanted to bring them back.
I did 100-200kmh in 7,6 in a stock RS6, 9 is too bad
60-130MPH and 100-200KPH are two different things. We did 8.02 seconds in this stock RS6 for the 100-200km/h. Keep in mind the times are corrected to sea level for density altitude and slope verified to under 0.5% of a grade. These two variables can account for a lot.
Track Day yea, 8 sec 100-200 is ok
If they sold this car in the US, I think I’d sell my GTR for this
You would sell the gtr and your house to own it... trust me.. its THAT good!
I think most able bodied adult enthusiasts would consider it. It's not even supposed to be faster than the GTR, but apparently it can be... ruclips.net/video/YVz4P63sTNE/видео.html
How about we get a P100D vs. RS7 Performance review on the track and drag race 🤔🤔🤔
C7 is still the boss!!!
What's your next car review? Is there a way to find out, or we have to wait
I usually post hints on Instagram on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the upcoming episodes. But I think I'm going to lay off the reviews for a little since track season is opening up, I will be racing more again.
C7 over c8 any day!
Why dive it like your on a Sunday jolt...
Was expecting some side ways sid etc.
Not a exiting vid...
Did you rent this in Spain? Or a fellow friends car?
This was a car rental while I was in Spain. I ordered a regular RS6, they gave me the M850i for a day because the RS6 wasn't available, and then they gave me an RS6 Performance. It was a dream come true.
I was going to ask the same question. Where would you rent from to get a car like this? My wife and I are just vacationing in France, Germany, and Italy and seeing some roads that would be great for a car like this.
There is no 2019 R8 with 532hp
You're right, I don't know why I always seem to make one typo or speech mistake in all my videos. It is actually the 2017 Audi R8 V10 (532HP) that we tested in this episode >>> ruclips.net/video/v9zNRsIQ1wE/видео.html
cinematic review. Dude, find an investor, build your brand. I believe you can grow to millions followers
Thanks bro. I don't think the issue is finding an investor, but really I think it's an issue of marketing and getting my content in front of a larger audience. Or people sharing and stuff. I also need to get on RUclips's algorithm train.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy pay ads and create an email list to have subs help you out.
dude just talk normally,no need to try and sound like batman
If I had a dollar for every time people thought I was "trying" to sound like Batman ... 😄
Sounds like a motorcycle. As much as they can try these euro v8’s cant touch the sound from an American V8
E63S and M5 get 3.3 seconds in 0-60, Audi is lacking
look how low down the leaderboard the M2 comp is. Can't seem M5 doing much better
I would expect a better 0-60 from Audi as well, but 60-130 tells a bigger story IMO. But you're right, for $120K, I think the RS6 should be much faster than the F10 M5 but it's really about the same acceleration. The new F90 M5 would be faster than this RS6 Performance though.
Its years newer so obviously the new E63 and M5 are a little faster to 60. The new one is going to suprise alot of people just like this generation did. BTW the Stage 2 APR kit has this car in the low 10's for 1/4 mile.
I know a guy with a Stage 2 RS7 and he supposedly runs a mid 7 second 60-130. I would love to race it with my Z06 from a roll (from a dig I'd get smashed).
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy APR crushes the game when looking at Tuned Audi's. My S4 stage 2 is 3.7 0-60 and I keep up with C6 Z06's from a roll till we hit 120mph then they start to pull away. It's a great family car that's fast. It surprises alot of people
Over dramatic and pretentious. Just awful vid.
E63S is better though and America has that
