Just saw one of these things coming off a roundabout full wally, in I'm pretty sure exact same spec, thing looked like it was doing a wheely the amount that nose lifted and the back squated, amazing sight and sound to behold!!!!! This gets my vote for damn sure
Glad I am not the only one thinking this. I own a '16 Q7 and love the interior controls. Was given a current-gen A7 as a courtesy car with all the new touch screens. Sure it looks smart but it's simply not practical as you have to look at what you are doing. Proper analogue tactile dials, buttons, controls etc allow for no-look control. Touch screens, being heavily technology driven, will look out-of-date quickly as well. In 10 years time an analogie dial or button will still look like any other dial or button. A 10 year old touch screen will look as out of date as my 10 year old iPad!
Yeah except a GTC4 Lusso is twice the money, much more flashy and not nearly as practical for very similar performance. Most people who are like "I'd daily drive a Ferrari" are just out of touch with reality in their considerations cause they are just daydreaming. Doesn't even matter if you're a millionaire, there are many reasons why people who own Ferraris don't drive them everyday and money isn't even one of them.
Imagine putting the money that you saved buying a rs6 over a gtc4 back into performance mods. 1000hp rs6 would be basically the holy grail of vehicles for me
@@ToxicSpiker The lusso is essentially ferraris "daily driver" tho, and you could easily do so with it. Just look at shmee, that's all he does with his lusso.
I'm loving these videos, takes me back to old school JWW. Shooting around country roads talking all things cars and life, reminds me of the Audi R8 daily driver video.
you definitely know cars better than anyone else in youtube I see no one use the rs1 mode like you are using, I done the same thing when I first got into car its the best option
What’s interesting is that RS6 actually uses Porsche’s engine code named EA825, differ completely to their previous EA824 engine which had 3993cc as oppose to 3996cc on the new engine, so after 25 years, Porsche parts find its way onto RS car once again just like the original RS2.
Kyle Faster doesn’t mean better. As an overall package and looks wise the RS6 is still king. Not to mention there will be an upcoming performance model.
The Audi RS6 is all the car you will ever need. I traded in my McLaren for a 2019 RS6 and it is the best automotive decision I have ever made. No need to look anywhere else, trust me.
I know there’s nothing dull about the performance of a mega-estate like this. But it’s just too easy a choice to make it interesting for me. A supercar turned daily is far more interesting content than a daily turned super.
Probably because he's standing further back and the front of the car is closer to the camera, making the RS6 seem bigger than it is. But it really is a big car.
I freakin love this car. Definitely think this should be your next daily. I also love the fact that it’s coming to the US......I don’t like that I can’t afford it however 😂
This looks more badass than M5. Go for it if you can afford. Nothing is cooler than a super fast estate car which will shock anyone who don't know about cars.
My current car is a C7 RS6 and yes, it does have the same horsepower. Ive often wondered how Audi would better the C7 and now I have the answer. I'll be waiting for the used price to settle down but in the meantime I've booked mine in for a 675 bhp remap which will also give that 100 lbs ft increase in torque. Great thing with these cars is that remaps are cheap and easy providing you dont go silly...
@@mattevans4377 Yeah, that's about the only thing I respect about Tesla's tech. I'm a petrol head all the way and wish he didn't try to make the ICE go the way of the dinosaurs.
I owned a 2019 lusso and used it as a daily / winter driver. Phenomenal car but the rear seats are useless for drives over an hour or so. They are actually quite comfortable for passengers but you get a cramped feeling being back there. Lusso is an amazing car but not practical in true winter conditions.
Keyboard Warrior test drove it a few weeks ago and even though I’m a petrolhead, it was the best daily car I’ve ever driven. Mental performance and relax factor
The new RS6 design is beautiful, and it is probably as much as a great car as the previous generation... BUT, maybe it is worth having a chat with @GMK to question him about the reliability issues on his new RS6. Thanks for your great content James, I love this new series. Carry on !
Interesting comments re ZF gearbox - the Panamera may get a proper look in after all. It's gotta be between these two; as the GTC4 Lusso falls shy on practicality for child seats access and carries extraordinary running costs.
Because of the new automatic they were able to increase the torque, but interesting thought here what you said about gear changes and downshifts. Aweseome and infotmative review as always James, hope you get the RS6 as daily would be cool :)
Its not like you will be racing anybody and be bragging about who has the fastest car out there, this is a family car.. And looks are subjective, e.g. the e63 looks like its bloated for me.. Of the 3 I prefer the M5 and the rs6 would be my 2nd option
@@wimvonk774 the same reason other people buy Aston Martins over other faster sport cars, some of us aren't just looking for racing cars but cars with good performance great quality and fantastic day to day usability, all the 3 estates deliver that hence its not necessary to get the e63 just because its fatser 0-60.
ALWAYS have loved the RS cars. An RS6 has always been at the top of that list, primarily in sedan(saloon) form. I think this should be your daily. Just my opinion. It ticks all the boxes. I agree about the lack of DSG. I would certainly want that. I love it in my GTI Performance Pack.
Absolutely STUNNING!! There isn't much better than an RS6 🙂👍🏻 I definitely think you've found the next family carriage 😊🙂👍🏻 And a perfect replacement for your old outgoing RS6, although I wish they'd done it in your old colour, not that the launch blue isn't nice, but that older purple was simply beautiful 🙂👍🏻 Thank you so much for another fantastic video James 🙂 Keep up the great work 🙂 Stay Safe out there, All the best, Mark 👍🏻
By the time this series is done its gonna trip all your viewers out seeing you start videos in the front seat lol. I'm hoping we'll see a amg gt 53 or 63 too
Opinion: G-meters on car dashboards are stupid, you’re only going to see it doing anything when you’re cornering hard, and why would you look down at your screen when cornering hard? Change my mind
Is the engine sound selector in the infotainment, a control of actuators in the exhaust, or is it a selector for how much fake engine noise you want pumped in through the speakers?
Hey mate. Nice to see you again, and hope to meet soon again in real. Beautiful spec you got there on this RS6. And if this is not enough, check out the 740hp RS6-R I just reviewed. Take care mate!
This car is mint, they look even better in real life. I just thought it would have a bit more power than it has, especially with the E63s and the M5 comp being it’s competition. May be there will be a performance edition like the last gen.
Fantastic car. On the topic of adhering to the speed limit; I find it very easy to do it because I just use the cruise control. It takes human error out of the equation.
I would turn off the haptic feedback. It’s much better to use it like a traditional touch screen, it’s easier when clicking something multiple times also ie the climate controls. You can use voice commands for temps but only for the driver sadly
Have you considered the M8 Gran Coupe Competition? it's certainly outclassed by the likes of the Bentley and GTC but it's a seriously fast highway missile!
I had to lower mine on a HAS KW kit as they sit high. and tune it with stage two as felt slow after my f90 m5 lol, also the gearbox was mapped much better as stock its slow in response compared to bmw, also one note you dont have to swipe left then swipe up to activate heat adjustment just swipe up or down it works without a left movement, another tip if you get a vorsprung like mine, you dont have the soft air suspension you get springs and dynamic dampers much better and the more sporty option
“Hold on fam, we’re gunna school this child” I love the stuff you come out with😂 reminds me of how you described the New R8 gearbox😂
That had me laughing too haha 😂😂😂😂 @mrjww I think you have your catchphrase here, along with the slogan for your merchandise 😄🤣
Just saw one of these things coming off a roundabout full wally, in I'm pretty sure exact same spec, thing looked like it was doing a wheely the amount that nose lifted and the back squated, amazing sight and sound to behold!!!!! This gets my vote for damn sure
Your description of it wheelying and squatting immediately reminded me of the awesome Group B Audi S1 !!!
This Audi is everything I want in a family car. It's just mega. Dream car.
The Audi has been a staple in your lineup for so long, and you've been a great team. I hope you'll continue this partnership.
9:35 was the most accurate depiction of torque versus horsepower that I've heard. Great way of putting it.
That's what James does
I remember torque as the thrown in your seat feeling and horsepower is how long that feeling lasts for.
Not a good buy now mate.. it will depreciate faster than quality of Archie Hamilton’s videos
Considering he's also looking at Lussos and Astons, I don't think depreciation is going to stop him lol.
Damn. That’s cold hearted ❄️
Dude that Archie burn XD Has me dying
😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny because it's true
'a disgruntled dog with his nose smushed up against the rear window' 🤦🏾♂️😂😂
I generally love Audi's interiors, but the gloss black and touch screen HVAC controls need to go.
You are 100% correct Leon, not only does it look awful with the smudges and scratches but it is incredibly dangerous to use while mobile!
Touchscreens have no place in cars!

You will like it in next 5 years when every car interior will looks like this. Audi is just too modern for todays morons.
The tech is unreal and it ticks all the boxes for a daily driver, but I would never chose this over a Ferrari given the choice

The RS6 sould easily be your next daily.

It’s the perfect combo!

THAT'S the car!!!! Buy that one!!!
Cracking video mate, the metaphor towards the end of the video was classic!
I love the 2020 model of the RS6! It just looks so good, compared to the other years. Not that the other generations looks ugly.
Although rivals have come close the RS6 still remains the ultimate daily in my opinion. What a car.
Come close? m5/ e63 have been tested faster and handle better
Kyle Faster doesn’t mean better. As an overall package and looks wise the RS6 is still king. Not to mention there will be an upcoming performance model.
Amit hence why i said handle too
To me Merc and bmw have better interiors atm and are faster..
Amazing car and ideal for a family like yours. The way you review a car is on a complete different level from other RUclipsrs. Keep up the good work.
The Audi RS6 is all the car you will ever need. I traded in my McLaren for a 2019 RS6 and it is the best automotive decision I have ever made. No need to look anywhere else, trust me.
I love this car. The RS6, Panamera, Taycan Turbo, and E63 AMG Wagon are my top daily cars.
An RS7 is just as practical and looks better in my opinion
I know there’s nothing dull about the performance of a mega-estate like this. But it’s just too easy a choice to make it interesting for me. A supercar turned daily is far more interesting content than a daily turned super.
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m always left with a massive smile on my face, not a lot of content like that out there anymore
Thank you Hayden, great to hear you enjoy it 👍🏻
That car is so big you look photoshopped into the thumbnail
Probably because he's standing further back and the front of the car is closer to the camera, making the RS6 seem bigger than it is. But it really is a big car.
@@f0gGenx yes but i think he isn't tall..
German machine 💪🏽
I freakin love this car. Definitely think this should be your next daily. I also love the fact that it’s coming to the US......I don’t like that I can’t afford it however 😂
Great machine, but the GTC4 Lusso V12 is the best daily by far!!
Try get a screaming two year old into a rear facing seat in the lusso
The funniest thing about the RS6 is the efficiency mode!
This looks more badass than M5. Go for it if you can afford. Nothing is cooler than a super fast estate car which will shock anyone who don't know about cars.
I love my S4 B5, manual, V6 biturbo, subtle looks. That is a driver’s car. This is an aggressive, over complicated piece of bling.
"Automotive Paradox that is the RS6" Mr. JWW 2020
RS6 FTW 😃😃😃 RS6 = BEST DAILY.
I love that Audi Ferrari conversation
This one with the new akrapovic system = perfect daily
My current car is a C7 RS6 and yes, it does have the same horsepower. Ive often wondered how Audi would better the C7 and now I have the answer.

Except non-Tesla charging can be horrific. Even if you hate Tesla, they know how to make a good charging network.

I've owned 3 blue cars in succession but this car needs that matt sliver to show off the lines
I agree
@@MrJWW great content again btw, thank you
I suggest Skoda Superb for new daily driver. Yes, I know, its going to feel slow after that.
imagine it with a map and a nice exhaust, rs6's are soo good its not even fair
i have mine stage two and eventuri intake around 785 bhp 1100 nm it brings it to life, its bit flat stock.
I owned a 2019 lusso and used it as a daily / winter driver. Phenomenal car but the rear seats are useless for drives over an hour or so. They are actually quite comfortable for passengers but you get a cramped feeling being back there.
Lusso is an amazing car but not practical in true winter conditions.
Audi infotainment system is an industry!
James, I'm considering getting a Model 3 Performance for my daily commutes.
Would be interested in watching a video of yours in that car!

This car genuinely makes the most sense absolutely stunning car as well Audi has nailed it

Its not BMW so the reliability will be not a problem with this one.
What about a Mercedes Benz GT3 4-door or an AMG E63s wagon?
That’s why I use the easy cruise control function in my RS4 a lot which starts at 15 mph, takes the stress out of having to keep speed limits.
I love the Audi RS6! It looks amazing

I’m not really into blue or wagons, but together it just works perfectly 😎
My god, man, pull yourself together!
Blue and wagon is delicious.
Finally a reviewer that's not a dork
James mate, the RS6 is unreal but you have definitely leveled up from the RS6 as a daily now
Now please test a Porsche Panamera and Taycan, bmw m5, Alpina b5, e63s and gt63s
Is the Gemera just not enough?😂😂
Can’t imagine that he will be taking a bike into town for the next two years..
I agree with you 💯 about torque 👊🏽 I buy my cars based solely on Torque 💪 it gives me my Adrenaline Shot!
Why not a gt63s or m8 (4door) or a e63s
rs6 suits you soo well this car is made for fun daily driving
The E63 and M5 are older and yet they still are faster... and in my opinion they both look better

1:54 "They "steel" have..." Nice, sneaky pun there 🤣
I think that rear splitter in red would be a killer
if we dont talk about car's price i think the best daily cars are: the RS6/ Range Rover/ Tesla model X
I feel like I prefer the previous generation rs6.
Please Audi, bring this to the US! Think about the children...
The headlights as well as the entire front look should've remained unique to the RS7.
Hey mate. Nice to see you again, and hope to meet soon again in real. Beautiful spec you got there on this RS6. And if this is not enough, check out the 740hp RS6-R I just reviewed. Take care mate!
The facelift in few year will be nicer looking
Mad car! At least they’ve kept buttons on the steering wheel rather than another screen 🤦🏻♂️

Amazing Test and Amazing Car !! Best of 2 worlds !!!
I’m guessing the AP is being serviced😊it’s part of the channel by this point so we’ll see it missing straight away.
Just left it at home by mistake - rushing to get out and film!
Stop beating around the bush! You loved your last RS6 and probably regretted selling it so the new RS6 is a must surely
Fantastic car. On the topic of adhering to the speed limit; I find it very easy to do it because I just use the cruise control. It takes human error out of the equation.
I would turn off the haptic feedback. It’s much better to use it like a traditional touch screen, it’s easier when clicking something multiple times also ie the climate controls. You can use voice commands for temps but only for the driver sadly
The search is over,you get so much car for the money it’s unreal
I think you need to wait for the perfermance pack it will add 20 Hp and more torque
Test drive the E63 S AMG Estate, shoud be a goog battle
What an absolutely gorgeous car.
James! That time you said you needed new words.. You sure went out, dropped a cog and made haste! What ever that means! :)
Have you considered the M8 Gran Coupe Competition? it's certainly outclassed by the likes of the Bentley and GTC but it's a seriously fast highway missile!
Worlds greatest vehicle.
Will you go to refit ABT？
I had to lower mine on a HAS KW kit as they sit high. and tune it with stage two as felt slow after my f90 m5 lol, also the gearbox was mapped much better as stock its slow in response compared to bmw, also one note you dont have to swipe left then swipe up to activate heat adjustment just swipe up or down it works without a left movement, another tip if you get a vorsprung like mine, you dont have the soft air suspension you get springs and dynamic dampers much better and the more sporty option
