Audi RS6 saloon 5.0 TFSI Quattro Tip Review: Good Vibrations

The ground rumbles each time you fire up the RS 6’s monstrous 580bhp V10 – this is the epitome of absolute power.

the RS 6 is a truly epic piece of machinery that will not easily be matched or replicated.
What we like:

Devastating performance
pros

pros
surefootedness and stability of quattro
What we dislike:
cons
More expensive to buy than a five-room flat
cons
insatiable thirst when driven hard
cons
steering could be better

for your hard earned money, the RS 6 saloon offers kit like a reversing camera, sat nav, solar panels for the blower (it keeps the cabin cool when the car is parked in the sun), 20-inch wheels and so on.

The RS 6 saloon is one truly special car. At $468,000, you’d need to be rather well off to afford one or you could sell your wife and kids for it. Still, it is $7k more affordable than the heavier and slightly slower Avant model. The RS 6 has plenty of rivals out there, including the new Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Jaguar XFR and the Maserati Quattroporte among others.

The RS 6 doesn’t come cheap but the biturbo V10 engine is just out of this world – even Lamborghini didn’t have the guts to put blowers on the V10 to improve the Gallardo’s performance. A truly epic piece of machinery that will not easily be matched or replicated. If you have half a million dollars to spend on just one car than this could be it.
