It feels a little on-the-nose to say this, but the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant is, in a word, spectacular. I know. I know. "Automotive journalist loves 591-horsepower station wagon" isn't exactly breaking news. Yet after a day of driving the new RS6 wagon through the Malibu canyons in Southern California, here I am, thoroughly impressed and absolutely thrilled that, after more than a decade of begging, Audi has finally decided to sell one of its RS-badged longroofs in the good ol' US of A.
But now, America, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Audi fulfilled its end of the deal by building a solid business case and doing the homologation work that's required to sell the RS6 Avant in the United States. That means you actually have to buy one. And you should. You really, really should.
No one thing about the RS6 Avant stands out as a piece de resistance. Rather, it's how this whole package comes together that makes it so appealing. It's the big V8. The sophisticated driveline. The sumptuous interior. The world-beating tech. Take all that and wrap it in sheet metal that isn't just pretty for a wagon, but downright arresting, full stop.
I can't think of a better way to say it, folks: This car f---
Under the hood, you'll find Audi's twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine, making 591 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque. Hit the checkered flag button on the steering wheel, hold the brakes and mash the throttle, and you'll activate launch control, allowing the RS6 Avant to rip off 3.6-second 0-to-60-mph runs. Should you have the space to keep going, the wagon will hit either 155 mph or 190 mph, depending on whether or not your car has the standard, 16.5-inch steel front brakes or the larger, 17.3-inch carbon-ceramic stoppers. (Both setups come with 14.5-inch rear rotors.) With great speed comes great responsibility, after all.

As an American, never in my life did I expect to see Henry Catchpole go shopping at Walmart in a Carfection video
Chris A You really said that? Good for you.
@Chris A I love Flakes. Messy as hell but tasty.
I agree, I got a nice laugh seeing an RS6 (and Henry) pull into a WalMart. I'm not as happy to see the jab with the assumption every car in the US is loaded with candy bars. C'mon Carfection, we yanks are big fans here. Other than that, please carry on with these quality productions. Cheers.
@venomspeak Well, there's always room for Mike n Ikes.
@@rdoogie71 They're not allowed to make a little joke? Lighten up
Whoever edited this deserves a pay raise and a burger. Damn it's nice.
why does everyone need a pay rise these days for simply doing their job? It's great, yes, but perhaps the editor is compensated appropriately, and works hard?
@@astonishing1964 It's just a compliment calm down Debbie Downer!
@@astonishing1964 stfu
Hopefully they went to In n Out
Nice? THAT WAS FREAKING PERFECTION! This was Top Gear level of editing. Even better actually.
If you see me homeless in the new Audi RS6 mind your own business.
lmao
Wouldn’t mind to be homeless with rs6 keys in the pocket
it's really a sophisticated piece of engineering,its a beauty.
wow great CONTENT. you earned a sub
I’ve been following Carfection for 2 years now and have never posted a comment. But after watching this film, I had no choice. The cinematography, the editing, the story and Henry’s educating narration are all jaw dropping. Carfection, you guys truly are the pinnacle of quality when it comes to car journalism. Kudos to you
Stanley Payne Thank you, Stanley. Much appreciated.
Totally agree with you about everything especially about henry himself best car reviewer there is I watch all the popular reviewers they just don't compare especially concerning the driving experience
factsFactsFACTS
The cinema is amazing!
These guys need sponsorship, this is so good..
I cannot believe we get this type of content for free.
Haroon Rafiq cringe
Pedro Pedro Pedro why are you like this
@Pedro he means he isnt paying for it, no shit that they get paid and have sponsorships
You're Indian? you love free things don't ya?
@@papayaman123 I'm not but thank you for your input
Beautiful cinematography in this edition. The red Audi makes a vibrant contrast against the landscape.
puts top gear to shame.
@@TMS5100 Top Gear puts Top Gear to shame...
LOL
A red-green colourblind person would wholeheartedly disagree (to them red, green and brown look the exact same :)).
The color is "fetching" lol thanks Henry
I think that was honestly the best car review I've ever seen
When he said "in some ways, this is a privilege" upon seeing a snow-covered desert....truer words couldn't have been spoken. Thanks for the reminder, and for sharing such a privilege. Very grateful.
Very cool moment to catch for sure!
"Literally a snowball's chance in hell."
When Great British weather follows you to the United States XD
He's making some of the best car content on RUclips currently.
Couldnt agree more, After Chris Harris went to Top Gear it left a hole . Henry is filling that hole nicely 👍
@@MrBrohoward71 Not completely though, no sideways action like we all love from Chris
bbsheppo I absolutely agree.
Amen! This one is among Henry's VERY BEST! New car, new technology, new roads; new scenery!
True that! Way better than that overrated boring doug demuro guy!
Audi’s styling department deserve a round of applause for this one. Stunning 😍
If I had the money I'd would buy this in a heartbeat. Or the new Audi RSQ8
Tjk 92 RSQ3 deserves a shout 😍😍
Tjk 92 RSQ8 is a jaw dropper too 😍🔥
Nope they should get beaten for ruining the rs6,the style finesse and brutality os gone.what a shame.c7 all the way anyday.
Strabunitz The brutality has gone?? ..... lol.
It seems to me that Audi could use some of this content in their commercials. This is amazing.
Carl Z it is but i would recommend you to have a Look on the official Audi RS6 Avant commercial, it’s amazing 😊

Every now and then a car review becomes a perfect car film. This is one of those films, nailed every aspect and such a pleasure to watch. Top work guys.
The car aside, this is probably one of the most spectacular car reviews I've seen. Quality production, awesome edits and perfect shots. Top notch Carfection. Plus, the RS6 looks absolutely stunning!
You haven't seen his older Porsche reviews, especially Boxster gts
Forget the car for a moment. How much would I give to see Death Valley in the snow! So jealous.
God knew Henry was coming.
That was insane
Yea, talk about a once in a lifetime sort of thing for someone that would even live here. I wish I got a earlier notice otherwise I would have drove over from LA.
I was deployed to Ft. Irwin, California which is adjacent to Death Valley, while serving in the US Army back in the mid 80's. My unit was there from the beginning of August to the beginning of September and I vividly remember snowflakes and hail two days before we ended our training. I also remember temperatures exceeding 105° by 9am when we first arrived there as well.
You can tell by his face that saying "aluminum" like an American, physically hurt.
As it should. I am a yank and I say aluminium
Aloooominum is how they say it
That was hilarious :)
😅🤣😅
You mean like how the English guy who discovered it pronounced it.
Since this premiered, I have watched this probably over 5 times. This is honestly one of the best car review films to be found on RUclips and I cannot get enough of it. Carfection and Henry Catchpole are unrivalled.
This is without a doubt the best car review i have ever seen. Every shot looks absolutely spectacular, better than a movie. Just wow Henry. You and the team really outdid yourselves.
The black pack literally changed my opinion from "they overdid the styling of the exterior" to its 100% perfection.
Let's be real those aggressive cutouts in the rear bumper when trimmed in silver are way too much for an otherwise attractive vehicle
There will be a Carbon pack
@@TheBucketOfTruth Exactly!
In my opinion atleast logo and mirrors should be chrome, it looks aftermarket with all blackout...
The Black styling pack is the must have on this car, I don't like the brushed aluminium look, although the carbon could be an option too
Henry. Congratulations on an amazing video. Were sitting in the Shuttle with you guys after the E-Tron Sportback reveal and we were all so tired, and planning our next days with the RS6. Yet again, amazing work, and kudos to you both!
What a beautiful car. One day my friend, one day
I feel you man, the grind will pay off
I have a 2011 Audi A3 sportsback/sports wagon. I customize a rs3 on the Audi website like once a week. I feel.
@@harrisonhutsell1072 i do it with the rs7 and 6
Can’t agree more, good luck and all the best for your goal 💪
Get to the grind boys!! I can’t wait to buy it :)
This editing was quite literally some of the best i have ever seen. Henry deserves an Oscar at this point. Best reviews out there bar none
No kidding, if they took a pic of the RS6 by itself in the snow covered death valley they can EASILY sell that to Audi.
Henry Catchpole is just going closer to perfection with every auto review.
Henry can catch my pole any day.
@@weetikissa no homo?
What an absolutely magnificent film! The Carfection crew are far beyond car reviews, and with this piece has jumped on to actual film. This is truly beautiful.
I have no idea how you managed to do all of this shooting in the short time you had. The variety and quantity of shots is staggering.
Then, as many have pointed out, the edit is outstanding. Give that guy an award. And another one.
And Henry's narration is the icing on a triple-layer cake, absorbing the audience in the experience and taking us along for the journey in this fabulous new car.
Can the Brits ever escape the rain? It almost never rains in Death Valley and Las Vegas 😅
We were destined for it 😂
I’ve never heard someone say “aluminum” so reluctantly
Remember: 'Britannia' (once) ruled the waves! We Colonialists (YES, MY FAMILY), were 'second best' centuries ago.
@@jamesellsworth9673 Britain hasn't lost any war recently, but lost almost all it's power. Must be upsetting.
@marco demena it's scientifically and factually incorrect lol
😆
Actually Aluminum is correct and aluminium is a bullshit nonsense word. Facts not retarded english racism.
Once upon a time there was a Top Gear, and than these guys came..
Amen brother
Wish The Grand Tour continued its legendary three man set up :(
@@lathah8160 What makes you think they won't? new season airing in a few weeks.
Redemz it won’t even be abt cars tho... it’s abt boat. THEYVE RUINED THE CLASSIC SHOW
@@calebkopitsky7611 They've had episodes about motorcycles, air ships, public transport, god knows what else. Its just one episode and its the same classic show. Next episode will be back to cars.
This has to be the most beautifully-produced car review I've ever seen!
I got the Audi A6 Avant Quattro 2020 and I absolutely love it. I imagine this must be something else as far as performance goes.
Great video btw.
Henry catchpole is the best of the best
Thanks for so much like In my life first time I get so much like
God bless you people 😍😍😍
Purushottam Rajput mr jww
@@judeobi242 MrJWW does great content but he needs to stop doing paid promotions and stop using the same few adjectives over and over again when talking about cars.
@@Harry92evers Was just thinking that. His videos are fantastic, but uses such long winded sentences to say really simple things which gets a bit boring after a while. Perhaps he just needs to learn a bit more about the technical side of things.
@@DanielSadjadian Also, he needs to stop hesitating in the middle of every sentence to put emphases on the next thing he's about to say. It's almost tiring to watch.
This, 100%.
10:58 - It's little touches like that light sequence that appeal to the little boy inside a man and make him want to buy one of these cars. Design/marketing masterpiece.
With the cinematography, editing, and sound design this good I think we deserve a little behind the scene.
You actually brought your depressing cloudy raining weather to California from England. Thanks mate, we needed that.
Absolute Masterpiece. That section from 10:58 was legit beautiful.
This should be the best car review ever seen on youtube. Stunning cinematography quality with a brilliant car 😍
I want to download it in 4k and watch again and again. What a beautiful movie. Really out of the world
This video gave me goosebumps, the car and the film both did justice to each other. It’s hard to believe that we can watch content of this quality for free.
This is my favourite RS6 review out of them all. Great work Carfection👍🏽
I mightve watched 4 reviews on this already. But I will always come back to a new carfection video, its in a different league
Beautifully shot! The transition from the Death Valley sign to the snowy landscape with the music coming in gave me chills. Well done!
The visuals are like something out of a dream, I had to pinch myself at least once. What is this wizardry?
This is one of your absolute finest films @carfection! What a great piece of story telling and stunning cinematography. Henry's natural ease as a presenter is icing on the cake. Absolutely superb folks, superb.
I don't know what's more impressive, the RS6 or the quality of Carfection's videos.
The LV light segment was insane. Props to the editor!
Best one yet, Carfection. Absolutely gorgeous. This review! The editing, the colours, the humour. Wow. Of all the reviews you've put out this year, this stands head and shoulders above the rest. My eyes thank you. Absolute perfection.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stunning good looks, outrageous performance, great comfort, room for 5 + luggage... What a dream car.
10:58 Rewatched this piece like 10 times... :) solid work!
what is not to love about America just look at the cities, streets, country side and great production by carfection good job.
Incredible piece of videography and editing. I can’t wait to see more like this.
Editing and Cinematic deserves an Award !!
What a great video. Well done Henry. This is the best. Kudos to all of carfection team. I cant believe this is free stuff.
Henry is by far my favourite motoring journalist, unbiased, articulate and just a thoroughly nice chap with a true passion for cars!
This has to be one of the best three Carfection videos till date. Unbelievable quality! Kudos to the whole team 👏
I just went back to your review of 911 GT3 manual and this video holds up even to that, you got this video so damn right. This might just be my favourite car review ever!
Icy Death Valley looks so awesome
Snow in Death Valley!!!! A moment to remember, indeed. Last time I was there it was 53ºC!
Hands down one of the most polished reviews of not only the RS6, but of any car, for that matter. Very creative and well thought out. Brilliant, thank you so much. I've subscribed! Pretty sure I'd have paid to watch this...
The cinematography and the editing for this piece are spot-on! My compliments to all those involved. Just exceptional!!
I am speechless. This is my ultimate dream - a USA road trip through the desert in one of my favorite cars. What a joy to watch!
Im actually astounded and feel quite privileged to have this level of content for free. Thank you Carfection and keep up the awesome work u guys are by far the best.
I always loved the Henry Catchpole road trip videos. Great to see another one!
Excellently presented. Stunning camera , oh and that car! In my wildest dreams.
Beautiful sceneries
Very nice music
Perfect editing
This is clearly one of the best videos of this channel and one of the best car videos on RUclips at all
Good job !
10:58 got me chills!!!
Abhishek Baiju that's a legit Audi commercial right there.
Any idea what was the background music? I tried shazam but it didn't work. It's stuck in my head now.
@@longtailgt Winter Butterfly - Devine-King / Anderson / Anderson / Bjerre (found it with musicmatch)
@@peekamooh6119 Thank you so much man! you ended my 1 and a half year long search.
Wow, I‘ve been subscribed to this channel for a few years, and I‘ve aleays loved the content. But this film is just next level. I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for putting so much work and talent into these pieces!
I've probably watched a thousand episodes of jezza, hammond and slow, but the video quality and cinematography in this review is just the best ever
I too would put Mike and Ike jelly beans in my trolley first.
I should also mention - truly stunning film this. Absolutely gorgeous work by the production team, and as always a fantastic job by Henry too. In my top 10!
Huh funny seeing you here
That Vegas entrance was a cinematic masterpiece. Even subtle details like that bit of sun flare at 15:29 just add so much.
Oh yah and that car is stunning.
Wonderful video. This is such a great content! And it's always good to see Mr Catchpole.
i could listen and watch this man reviewing cars all day! not at all annoying and very calm! great info and wow, what a car! great channel!
When did you hire Roger Deakins on the camera? Stunning work.
Henry, you have an interesting taste in road trip snacks.
What a masterpiece , you and your team have done it again , thank you so much for this and can't wait for the next one .
The film crew host and editor you are the best in the business
What an amazing video, some of the greatest content I've seen on RUclips, perfect RS6 review !
One of the best reviews I've ever seen, Henry is just awesome.
Willing to trade my kidney for one of these.
I dont think 1 kidney is enough. Might have to throw in a lung to get the sport exhaust
Buyers of this car must not need a new kidney. I think you have made a BRAVE offer! Maybe offered in the wrong marketplace.
And the other one to maintain it :p
Please contact me for kidney extractions. Top $, highly discreet, fast payment!
Would GOD be please when you could just ask him to Bless you with an Avant rs6 sheesh
One of the best creations that came out of Carfection. Amazing work you've done there!
Thank you Henry and company for producing this video. It was absolutely amazing! That Audi is 🔥
The light sequences look absolutely epic.
Man this makes me want to take a road trip!
Wow! What a video! Shots and montage are just amazing! Henry does fantastic reviews and his voice is just nice to listening to. Thank you and keep doing great job guys!
Whoever wrote your Twitter post about this video was correct. This is the best video you've ever done! I loved it.. The car, the presenter, the subtle humor and videography... Such a joy to watch!
Best RS6 review I’ve watched so far.Henry is in a different league when it comes to RUclips 😎
Masterpiece of a videography. Brilliant words and execution by Henry as usual... Keep it bringing fellas....😍😍😍🔥👌💯
One of the best automotive reviews I have ever seen in my entire life. Well done and thanks for the incredible amount of effort that must have gone into it. It also meant I didn't have to suffer the JWW review, and that has to be the icing on the cake.
Wow, I don't have word for this video's quality!
Thanks a lot :)
Can’t wait to get one....in +10 years when depreciation = my wallet
Just as long as you're prepared at that point to shell out $8k when the brake rotors need to be replaced, $2k for a broken headlight, $15k for a tranny etc...
Hmmm I don’t think this one will depreciate as much as other Audi models
I live in Europe and I'd struggle if I ever got one... The maintenance costs for it aren't cheap.
I get the feeling that these won't sell in huge numbers here, in part because of the price, but also because I feel like there is a larger number of people in the US who still just don't get the appeal of a fast wagon and will be more drawn to flashier cars in the price range. This is why a lot of wagon variants of performance cars tend to sell less here, but then ultimately retain their value better. I love wagons, and I hope I'm wrong and there is a shift in mindset, but I'm not holding my breath. I think there will be enough demand from enthusiast wanting to buy these used, with a limited stock, that these won't depreciate nearly as much as other Audis.
It'll depreciate like fuck when that stop/start hybrid motor garbage shits the bed. Why even factor in economical petrol usage into an RS6..? It's an RS6 with a 4L V8, it is not an economical car.
Applause to the camera man! Amazing cinematography!
Also: story telling! Great job again, Carfection. That was truly beautiful.
Beautiful video! I’ve been watching from the XCar days, but don’t usually comment. This one’s worth it! Keep up the amazing job everyone!
Hands down the best car review I've seen in a long time on youtube.
It looks so good. Audi has made the most attractive family car ever.
The Avant models are supposed to be family cars.
$120,000US family car? Maybe for the top 1%
The winner of the Golden Globe Award this year for "Car Theme" movie goes to..........CARFECTION.........🎉🎉
Simply the best, once again you prove that you are the best car channel on RUclips ... Cheers
I’ve watched this film 3 times now. And it’s incredible every time.
Excellent job Henry: you have just earned a new sub and a fat thumbs up!
Finally! Great review Henry!
That was a real treat! Thank you Carfection!
There are reviews and then there are reviews.. This felt like one of those 6 page spreads I use to read in Car Mag years ago. Hats off. Everything about this film screamed class. Very big budget. Thank you ..
If I could give you more likes I would do it in a heartbeat. This is just beautiful. Both the car and the review itself.
At last this is the channel i couldnt wait to watch the review of this on
Incredible stuff per usual from your team! Thanks for the amazing content
