More Next-Gen RS 6 Avant Photos from Nürburgring

With the weather turning to spring in Europe, the auto manufacturer development schedule turns to the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Oh. Hello There Next-Generation Audi RS 6 Avant!

Spies in Europe have finally caught the next-generation Audi RS 6 Avant out testing. While the RS 7 has been seen already, the RS 6 has been well-hidden... at least up until now. Whenever the RS 6 Avant has been spied before, it has worn heavy cladding and not given much of a view of what we can expect. This particular car has mainly just funkadelic vinyl on it, and even the wheels look like they may very well be an upcoming production design. Beyond those wheels are the large brakes tha...

source: Motor Authority Audi plans to make a decision on whether it will introduce a new generation of the A6 Avant and the hotter RS 6 Avant for the U.S. market soon.

However, Audi spokesman Mark Dahncke told Motor Authority on Monday that information is not correct. He s...

An Answer for Doug DeMuro about Audi’s Lineup

There's no doubt that car reviewer Doug DeMuro commands a considerable audience on on Youtube. Doug holds an interesting space and a lot of influence in the lexicon of car journalists, and so when he calls out Audi it's certainly worth taking note. Today he did in his first op/ed style video, and many of our members noticed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGABAYPguUI&fbclid=IwAR2x_NPyKy9J2ujbNSzVUahCmHeGMoUrQLmHkPtZEtV0238UGMWJn6GSicY Spoiler alert, Doug rants mostly on the lac...

Find of the Day: Former Prince Harry Audi RS 6 For Sale

We typically choose Find of the Day cars on the market from cars available in the USA for our predominantly American readership... typically. On occasions we will make an exception, and the grey RS 6 Avant you see here qualifies. You see, it was driven for a year by England's Prince Harry, and for royal watchers it was perhaps most paparazzi-famous when the young prince used it to take then girlfriend Meghan Markle to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception. If we had to guess, we'd proba...

ABT RS6-E: Into The Future With A Double Heart: 1,018 HP In The ABT Prototype

[source: ABT  Sportline] Will we still be able to refer to car enthusiasts as "petrolheads" in the future? Or will they be seduced by the whisper-quiet punch of electric drives? ABT Sportsline uses a fully operational prototype to provide an exciting glimpse of the future of tuning. The worldwide largest tuner for Audi and Volkswagen vehicles shows how to bring the best of both worlds together. The car, which is based on an already tuned ABT Audi RS6, pushes not only the limits of perfor...

Audi RS 6 Sedan Rendering by X-tomi

With the new Audi A6 now having been revealed, it was only a matter of time before rendering experts like X-tomi Design began imagineering what the next-generation of RS 6 might look like. Seems that day has come, at least in sedan form. You may remember Audi did build sedan versions of the C5 and C6 RS 6 generations. The onset of the Sportback body style served to render cars like the RS 6 (and RS 4) sedan as obsolete. Even still, it's interesting to see the new C8 A6 in RS form and that...

words: Bill Cho, video: Jon Olsson Today, Jon Olsson is a happy man. A couple of years ago, he wasn't. In October 2015, his old RS 6 was stolen at gunpoint from its new owner and was discovered burned to the ground. From this: to this: As Jon said in his Instagram post from that day, who would do such a thing? But back to today. Jon posted a YouTube video of him picking up his new RS 6 Avant.

Audi C7 RS 6 performance…Sedan

words: Bill Cho, photos and video: Auditography When Audi gives you a C7 RS 6 performance Avant, you make a C7 RS 6 performance sedan? That's precisely what Alex did. He took a brand new 2017  S6 sedan and transformed it into an RS 6 performance with all the parts from an RS 6 performance Avant. This Warsaw resident wanted something he couldn't have like the nutty Americans in our Find of the Day: A6 Avant to S6 Avant. Actually the man who made that S6 Avant is also from eastern Europe. ...

Find of the Day: 2003 Mugello Blue RS 6

words: Bill Cho, photos: Craigslist There are executive cars and then there are executive muscle cars. The C5 RS 6 falls into the second category. The first RS model (and only RS 6) to hit the shores of the States, it made quite an impact. Motor Trend said: "The RS 6 spools up with so little drama, it doesn’t feel as quick as it is. Until you look down and realize you’re going 20 mph faster than you thought you were–and 50 mph faster than your mother would want you to." This part...

Audi exclusive Sonoma Green RS 6 Avant. You’re Welcome.

Even though the Audi RS 6 Avant isn't available in the USA, it still gets legendary status amongst enthusiasts. Who doesn't love a high horsepower station wagon... much less one in the same Sonoma Green Metallic paint tone that's been getting so much attention on the new RS 5 coupé. Throw in brown leather and we suspect this is the sort of car that could create its own cult following. Yes, in some ways we know this is a tease. Cars like this RS 6 Avant aren't currently available in t...
