Video of the Day: RS 6 Avant Spotted on the Ring

words: Bill, video: Misha Charoudin, photos: Audi Club North America The other day, we featured spy photos of the next generation RS 6 Avant on the Nurburgring. Today, I was lucky enough to find a video from Misha Charoudin's YouTube channel. He was quite delighted and surprised to see the RS 6 Avant on the track as he wasn't expecting the track to be opened. There's a lot of scenes where he's eating, shopping, and walking around the track so I'll make it easy for you. The RS 6 Avant ...

The Hoonigan Coupe quattro Lives!

When last we left Brian Scotto and his ten years dead Coupe quattro, he'd pulled it out of its dusty resting place in the back of the Hoonigan Donut Garage and had begun to work on it. An intervention by his fellow team of Hoonigan on-air YouTube mates had reminded him the car wasn't getting any younger.... and Scotto got the message. It seems the overall plans for the car are a bit grand. Think high horsepower, a cage, and basically some sort of rally weapon... which certainly grabs our ...
