  • The Audi RS6 Performance is a German Muscle car in wagon form. And it's not available in the US. So, our European Correspondent, Thomas Hellmanzik, took one on back roads and the Autobahn to tell us what we're missing.

    I really like this crazy german. He really has balls and drives the hell out of the cars.
    And lets not overlook that he plays "Eye of the tiger" while driving at 300Kph on Autobahn! Youre a true hero, keep it up man!

      I think it has also something to do with the over all perception of women in generell in the US. They're often portrait as beeing weak. No Man whos constantly toled how strong he has to be, wants to drive a "womens" car.

      Jeffrey Barry yep perfect for family vacations, usual shopping and dropping the kids at school during the week, and on the weekend play with Supercars during a track day.. I don't like wagons and I'm European, but this goes on the list of perfect cars. I mean for those with a huge bank account, that is.

  • @Tortelli-NL
    @Tortelli-NL 7 лет назад +8

    Nice review!. The RS6 is an insane every day rocket!.
    Doing >300 in Germany is getting more challenging these days with busy autobahn and a lot of road work. Did 304KM/h (190mph) in my dads R8 v8, 3 years ago, probably only 6-7km from the Dutch boarder and havent improved it ever since. Been on multiple roadtrips in Germany but never really had the oppertunity to break my old record. Getting to an 280-290 is doable, getting the last miles out of it takes a lot of time....
    It's pretty crazy since your passing cars with a speed differance of almost 200KM/h and braking takes a long time. Best to do the early in the morning on a saturday when there are no trucks.

    • @zoranlovric
      @zoranlovric 7 лет назад

      I was complaining about the lack of wagons in USA, not about wagons themselves. I want to buy one but selection is pretty poor, there are like 6 or seven models to chose from real wagons (non-lifted).

    • @Prodriver33
      @Prodriver33 7 лет назад

      I lifted my outback, but I actually use it offroad.

    • @zoranlovric
      @zoranlovric 7 лет назад

      I consider Outback a lifted wagon from the factory. Similar to Audi Allroad or Volvo XC70. What many people want but can't get in the US are regular wagons with same ride height as their sedan counterparts, just like this RS6. I think there are only 5 to choose from: Mercedes E class, Golf SportWagen, Volvo V60, Volvo V90 (special order only), BMW 330xi (no other options available). If I've missed any, please feel free to add to this thread.

    • @Prodriver33
      @Prodriver33 7 лет назад

      ***** I need a little lift, I live in the woods and everyone here makes fun of me for driving a wagon, but they still need me to pull their truck out when they get stuck. My wife has an XC70, I want a V70R but it wouldn't make it around here.

    Guys there is more to North America then just the States. I'd buy that car here in Canada, however, what would stop me is our fuel price. Money is not the stopper. I would probably lose my licence within 30 days if I had this car. Our speeding tickets for 50 km/h over the posted speed is $10,000 plus seizure of your car for a period of time. I can't afford losing my car. Anyway, good review. Thanks.
