- In the short amount of time i have owned the Audi RS6 Performance I have already racked up 5,000 miles on the car. I thought this was the perfect time to share with you what it it's like living with the RS6, it's awesome acceleration, incredible exhaust sound and beautiful interior...except for the cup holders!

This is a £100k car and you use it as a winter beater... oh the life
+MotorMike canada? lol
It is designed for that... Its not a super car
Josh Grundon he's got a generous dad
What do you mean by winter beater? The rs6 is very fit for driving in any climate.
the host said that this car is used to tackle winter in the UK, that's what he uses it for, of course we know it is for every occasion and for every climate...
Since when is Audi coming from Stuttgart ?? Audi comes from Ingolstadt.
Mercedes-Benz and Porsche is coming from Stuttgart.
yes thats right
yes why Stuttgart?
mazdarati2 I can see, you don't know anything about cars!
mazdarati2 So do you know what city Audi is from ? It is a German car, but not from Stuttgart. That was my point.
Because ze German car jaa ?? What's that supose to mean ?
And Mercedes-Benz. Porsche Zuffenhausen. But i know on the badge it says Stuttgart.
Love this thing!
Hi Mumbo
Mumbo Jumbo ermmm I know you like top gear and all mumbo but I didn't know you watched youtube reviews too, keep up the good redstone tutorials :)
Mumbo Jumbo Thanks buddy!
+Drin Ratkoceri Mumbo is everywhere hahaa
Hi James. I finally saw you today, on my travels. You were in the RS6, aka 'The Stealth Bomber'. You were sat at the lights on the A519 where you can turn left for Stobarts or go straight on to the roundabout for the A500 D Rd and J15 of the M6. I double 'beeped' you as i went past. I have watched so many of your videos and had slowly picked up from small clues from what you had said and the videos of the roads you are driving around on that i thought you may live in the Staffs/Shropshire border area.
It was funny seeing you; slicked back hair, your round sunnies and the beard.You weren't chatting to yourself so i guess you weren't filming at the time. But i only really noticed you because of the plate on the car. Otherwise at a glance or look it's just an Audi estate ;-)
Anyway i was on my way to Soudley near Cheswardine..It was cool to see you, lovin all your work you are doing here on YT.
I'm sure i'm speaking for the vast majority here, but i must thank you for all you work and effort in making great content for us. Looking forward to the next vid. Thank you James. :-)
audi is from ingolstadt not stuttgart. ;) :) 00:51
+martin kolew It was just to say it's from Germany and it rhymes with Symphony - no specifics 🤓
just wanted to see do you answer the comments.... :D not trying to be hater.... i love that audi tho
Actually James is more right then you. The RS models are produced in Neckarsulm, which is about 60km (don´t know it in miles) away from Stuttgart.
oh come on martin ... just same as ... london ... and ... brighton ... whatever :-)
Cevo M nah mate
That Audi really is a beast.
3.3 0to60 and the rs7 is 3.1 sec
Hillary Clinton please stop spreading bs
Audi should just go all out and put a v12 in some of the rs models (rs6, rs7) and give us some 700-800+ bhp. Just because they can
COMMISSIONS.
actually they did in the previous rs6 and even this engine of the rs6/rs7 ist capable of 700-800 HP ;) with only ecu.
hell no RS models. even with V6 and V8 have problem with understeer and u want to put big V12 that would be really bad.
Audi's problem With ouversteer is mostly because of the quatro system not allowing Wheel slip in the rear, not because of engine placement/weight.
This is my dream car rightnow ! Such a beautiful car in every way ! Perfect for doing everything !
It’s still my favorite car from 2014 c7 😀
@@lukaweixler True that !
You rack up mileage so quick I love it!
Dreaming In Cars Yeah man rolling hard!
Get a Milltek exhaust on that thing, beast!
That colour is absolutely astounding
I would never have been able to keep those seats looking so clean :o
+statesidesupercars Signature Group applied interior protection from new and ant stains wipe off really easily - I'm impressed with it 👍🏻
+Mr JWW what stains did you get on them? 😱
Jeans can stain lighter coloured leather
and jizz
I hammered down the RS6 performance a couple of times and that's a pretty good choice buddy !!! Maybe the best all arounder daily driver there is !!!
I have had mine now for about 5000 miles as well and I completely agree with you, although mine is in Phantom Black which has the purple tinge! I absolutely love this car!
Awesome!
I totally agree with the cup holder! I said that from day one of owning the A6. The NG Saab 9-5 was the same. I don't understand why they couldn't put the cup holders at the front where the sliding section is. Awesome vid!
Spot on re: cup holders. Drives me insane. Work of art on my old Porsche Boxster.
+James Bath Ha ha right!? Glad I'm not the only one!
Mine have a constant residue of flat white. Middle Class Crises and all that
Here's a Texan longing for those beautiful sporty hot hatch estates... these videos only make me more angry that the ubiquitous SUV all but pushed these far from my grasp! The closest I can get to this is the A4 allroad (I'll take it if I can get it!). Thank You @Mr JWW for these videos of one of the best cars I've ever seen. Looking forward to seeing more of this beauty throughout the colder months. Would love to see it full of people and cargo!
+Wesbug Thanks Wesbug! Going to try and put together a video with people and cargo in the RS6 !
Excellent as ever James - The RS6 Performance has got to be one of the, if not the ultimate 'One Size Fits All' supercars available today in terms of its massive all round ability - looks, performance, practicality, reliability and desirability, it has it all in spades. Love the Torque analogy too - albeit my beloved Saab doesn't make the same Torque as the RS6 - it still makes around 620nm and is so utterly effortless and progressive it's laughable, so I share your love of 'Twist' bud! - Thanks for sharing and as ever - Top Work Fella!👍👍
Agreed. Wish I could afford it
parky2310 Thanks buddy! It is a brilliant piece of kit!
mk4 golf had epic cup holders that came out the dash.
so does the porshes have 😂
Hey JWW! You are right about the Quattro system + it's effectiveness on winter roads; they excel at bad weather and in combination with the power in the S/RS they are formidable machines! Until recently I had an S4 Avant (V8) - I live on the Welsh borders, and it was unbeatable for its' combination of grip and acceleration; such a usable performance car. My last great experience in it before selling it, I was following a Lancia Stratos kit-car (actually a Lister Bell STR). The roads were very wet, and I was pleasantly surprised to come up behind this STR on the last 5 mile stretch home. The sound from the STR exhausts was awesome (I think an Alfa V6) and I could see it had so much mechanical grip it flew through the bends with barely any roll or slip. But the S4 had enough power and grip for me to keep up and enjoy the view until I reached my house, as he flew of down the valley! I'd love an RS6 at some point, ever since seeing the C5 RS6 Plus in purple years ago in a mag. Great car and great channel! Thanks.
+ironingbored Sounds awesome man, in our country Quattro basically rules for 6 months of the year ha ha
I feel your pain James, the cup holder situation is important. I would have expected more from RS6 in cup holder department.. But alas it has plenty of room for baby in the back
And 2 dogs in the boot!!! Nothing better when your pulling away from a BMW M3/4 and all the BMW driver can see is your taillights and 2 labradors slobbering up the back windows!!!!!
What a car James. I reckon you could easily put 100,000 miles on that beast and the performance would be exactly the same. Outstanding colour by the way. Keep her lit!!!!
+Mark 688 Yeah man! And looking forward to it! 💪🏼
I agree with the cup holders, I've got a 3l S-Line TDI Quattro, you can only use one bottle at a time really. Other than that, its a bloody bloody good car. 2 dogs in the back, plenty of space for 4 people. Perfect
+Chef Bryn Indeed outside the cup holders it's awesome
On the score of the position of the cup holders JWW it is not trivial because it does detract from such a good driving machine.
It is something I think Audi needs to look at as it is just the same in my S5.
I'm glad you mentioned the cup holders, I've recently driven a few rs6's and I did think they wouldn't be suitable but I didn't have a drink to try them out.
My 2015 S3 can fit two supersize cups from BK!
Regardless of the poor cup holders, I've still put down a deposit on one! Sadly not merlin purp but I plan on getting a wrap!
I have serious car envy for the RS6. It's simply stunning.
Completely agree with your thoughts on cup holders. They're the same in my RS4- coffee spillage = crap. Awesome channel 🚗💨
i´ve got the same car, besides the fact, that mine has a v6 tractor engine. the cupholders work fine. just pull that arm rest a little bit up. and if you have bottles as big as you described them, there is a dedicated spot for them in every door. in 9:05 you see it on the left door right in front of that door pull thing.
Very good picture quality shines through in your videos, Mr JWW.
Use the side doors for the bottles. But for the coffee, you are 100% right!!!
Absolutely stunning vehicle. Quattro gmbh definitely created a monster of a vehicle.
It is a very nice family car, that is important to James, a good winter car, keep it up Mr JWW 😊
Stuttgart Symphony? Really James? :D
Audis are made in Ingolstadt or Neckarsulm.
+75KoDe I know man It was just to say it's from Germany and it rhymes with Symphony - no specifics 🤓
at least he owns the car. He gets to say whatever he wants
Alright alright :D I'm from Stuttgart and the folks down there are very anxious about to not be thrown in one big pot with Audi and BMW ;) I meant no harm - keep it up James :)
75KoDe Ha ha It was just to say it's from Germany and 2 S's Symphony & Stuttgart roll off the tongue, no specifics 🤓
Dude, check your doors! The bottles go in the side of the doors and are proof as hell there, even through a quick run.
The cupholder i'll give you that, they are crap. My 2011 S4 had great cupholders and were about twice as deep as the ones of the RS6. Don't know why the guys from Ingolstadt didn't go with this solution.
That colour is fecking gorgeous.
Why Stuttgart simphony? Isnt audi from Ingolstad?
This car is an AXE Murder in a pinstripe suit. Love it.
That color is just perfect! Well done on the spec.
Thank you james for uploading a new video with the RS6. Me and maybe other fans are looking forward now to see more videos with this car. ;-)
+Peter Pan Its a pleasure P/P - lots more to come!
My Omega wagon has terrible cupholders too. Out of a 5 door wagon, there's only one and it's under the armrest and if you're on a down hill the armrest will fall on your drink. There are more ash trays than cupholders in that car.
Do a video on, If you had one car to live with what would you pick? (out of your car selection only)
Love your honest approach by pointing out the less obvious but certainly bugging things. I drive a merc vaneo which for a purpose I need is perfect however the cig lighter socket where you plug in satnav or a charger is located at the end of center consol which would be ideal for back seat passengers whereas you try to get around the armrest. Guess those minor but crucial design flaws can make wonder sometimes about engineers thoughfulness.
Thx for your great vids, you're one of the most informative and sort of normal guy.
+Peter Kristo I fully agree man, its these tiny things that we interact with multiple times daily! And they get annoying...fast ha ha
What you said about Quattro made me giggle a little bit. How you made having quattro on those roads sound like a day and night difference. Maybe the roads get "greasy" from time to time in such a way that a motorcyclist may have a few issues, but night and day difference with a car? Nah, come on. Try real winter roads and quattro, THEN you'll now what a huge difference it makes. The old C4 A6 I had some years ago was killer in the snow!
Not trying to be mean or anything and for the record I'm a huge Audi fan with the RS6 as my absolute dream car (although I've been drooling over the new RS3 a fair bit lately). The Audi I have now is my third and when I'm done with my Master's degree I'll definitely change it in for my fourth...
I was really considering buying this car but if the cupholders are so bad I dont think I will buy it anymore.. sadly
Exactly the same cup holder problem with my 2004 A3, Audi still haven't learned 😂
Love the cupholder bit haha. Couldn't agree more!! Looking forward to a serious driving performance review like you've done with the F12 and 675LT... Let's see the RS6 at full tilt!
Change the wheels on the F12 and take it drifting?
Mr JWW just does it right.
+Reinhold Everest I appreciate the appreciation, thanks man!
love the color and the power/sound ofc
My dream car. Love it!
I own an Audi A6 myself and I have to agree with the rant at the end about the cup holders they are absolutley shite and considering that my A6 is an exec car, no where near the value of an RS6 but my A3 previously had better position cup holders that were more practical.
Superb video James!
Another top-class video from Mr JWW!
+W-James Thank you sir!
Make that the Ingolstadt Symphony. or Neckarsulm. Great video, man.
James, I want this car it's such a German beast with all that power under your right foot. Why do you need any other car ?..
This car accelerating at the start on a surround sound headset; the rumbles at low revs was like thunder in the distance..
Dunno what it is about this colour, makes the car look less compact than other colours, say Nardo Grey (not neccessarily a bad thing) Then you cut to inside and it's huge. It's like the tardis..
+Kompoism It's like that tent in Harry Potter 😂
Put that on the marketing Audi! Fast, Lots of boot space and it's magical!
It's nice to see you enjoying your RS6 to the fullest. Wish you many pleasant and safe miles with your predator 😊.
THX 4 sharing the Intel.
I have seen this car in London and I had to stop on my cycle and knock one out. The colour looks 10 times better in real life view. ✌️
I hope that I can have cars like this one day.
OMG I saw u again yesterday in the 675Lt refueling it looks awesome man!
Before buying the RS6 (which is lovely), did you consider any of the exotic 4 seater/practical cars? Rapide, FF or Panamera?
The FF is like £150k plus and he already has a F12 which is a lot better than the FF.
Panamera would be nice.
Well, this is over 110k in this spec.
I honestly prefer the looks of the RS5 over the Panamera. The RS6, even the normal A6, have such agressive looks now. I love audi's design at the moment.
great video as always! rs6 is up there with my absolute dream cars! would love to drive one of those things!!!
I know cup holders ! Car designers should really put more thought into them ! I have only ever had 1 car with good cup holders and that was a Fiat ! shocking I know. Mr Current car only has 1 cup holder. 1? what if i want 2 drinks ? or a passenger has one, haha. Great video by the way keep up the good work !
Great Video James I have seen your cars out and about
I agree with the comparison to a Spitfire. The fighter was also one of the best looking planes at the time.You hit the nail on its head when you were talking about the cup holders. I had the same problem. Who the hell designed those things? However, the car is fine.
A Spitfire sounds smooth - no pops or crackles. Your car sounds more like a party of clay pigeon shooters in the distance.
Millionaire problems haha. Dream car though, maybe some day... Keep the RS videos coming!
Its true even a Golf R etc up feel unbreakable :D Oh yeah the cupholders are much more generous on the golf R not sure if they are in the way in the Golf for a start they set back more and rotated 90 degrees. Long drinks can be in the was like a large cup of Coke. My Corolla had pop out cup holders but were higher so they slashed around more.
Don't get me wrong I love the RS6 but was there any main reason not to get an RS7? I just think they look next level!!
love that car , despite cup holders !
Great video as always!
Mate are you perpetually driving your cars? How do you rack up so many miles..this is madness!!
+djdarklyceum I have no idea man, just love to drive ha ha
Mr JWW Love your work. Keep it up.
Yes now I am going to buy an RS6, on forza obviously ;)
+ali alex Better be in purple! 😈
Mr JWW well that's going to be hard to get it right, I'll let you have a test drive lol
Cup holders crap & fake exhaust tips would make me feel short changed.
Great car though.
Bmw dash cup holders are excellent.
Have you driven an M6?
hope u get used to it btw i love the camera shots keep it going James
Love from Norway
+Esteban herrera Thanks a lot Esteban!
Mr JWW no prob
best car reviewer on you tube by far
+Sam Reynolds Very kind of you my good man!
Great vid as always
0:22 how it feels to be chauffeured by Mr.JWW
T Dagher u
Damn you Audi for not selling these in the U.S. Not that I could afford one, but it would be nice to see on the road lol
I saw you on the M6 on Saturday 8th at about 3pm James
my mark 2 focus rs has the same issue with cup holder:-) wicked vid James keep them coming:-) cheers steve
If it snows in the UK this year it would be cool to take the f12 or 675lt to a snowy empty space and do some drifting
+Justin Nierop Ha ha yeah it would!
it could also show the difference between driving with the quatro system vs conventional RWD 👌
Hey Audi, James loves his coffee. 1st world problems from 7:50 lol
Siddharth Sharma lol damn right brother
This costs about 186 357 GBP/ 232 632 USD where I live. Anyway, Great car!
Stuttgart Symphony ? Audi is based in Ingolstadt
+Nico GSXR It was just to say it's from Germany and it rhymes with Symphony - no specifics 🤓
I love that car. The beast
Came for the car, left for the 'here's your 10minute shot of me sitting here'.
Amazing car!!
The cup holders are like this on each A6 C7, noz only RS6! :P
And some more Audi's too I guess... on my C6 for instance...
It doesn't bothers me AT ALL!!
It's become a trend those pops and bangs, seems like its what most people look for now in sport cars and I agree it definitely makes the car more fun and engaging to drive.
JWW= James Walker
Thanks for the video. Considering this colour for a brand new 2018 RS3. If you have a chance to order this car again will you choose same merlin purple again?
Love it! amazing daily driver.....Audi needs to re-engineer the two cup holders.....life's not bad when that is the worse thing. Keep driving James. (Mike in Ohio)
+MTobin1000 Thanks man! Lots more to come 👍🏻
Thanks james
As usual james, good content, but why is it (in every video) you're always short shifting or doing unnecessary downshifts?
+Krissy Thomas I actually have no idea because I don't do it when I'm not filming 😂 must be a concentration thing 🙈 the short shifting isn't always short either there is so much torque available it often feels fine to shift up when it might not sound like it 👍🏻
RS6 is the longest sports car in the world.
like if you agree or disagree
The Batman I disagree, It's called an estate car or 4 doors GT car not "the longest sport car"
Victor Lussier- Poulin Obvs not a car guy get with it. It's called Avant
MC12 is longer though.
Great review. 8:05 and a sense of humour too!
Love this car!!! Great review as well
The cupholders are crap.Long continental runs you want water,and the missis wants water,if you put both in the cupholders you cant rest your left arm properly and you cant reach the MMI knob.Maybe popping down to Tescos its not a problem but driving 700 miles in one go it becomes a pain in the ass,Ive a E class now,the cupholders are further forward even coffee cups can be put in them and you can still reach everything,peace in the car now.Ok in winter the damn thing wont move but the Audi needs winter tyres on to gain much in snow.Then its unstoppable.
I am not sure if it is the Quattro system that makes grip better in an Audi (RS6 in this case) than a Range Rover. I honestly think it is the lower weight, less unsprang weight (tyres + rims) and lower centre of gravity. These things that make SUVs really pointless unless someone really needs a proper SUV needed to overcome deep potholes big bumps and provide better visibility over traffic. Or just make someone feel "safer" and more "important".
My father has one with a very similar spec to yours.
Lord Qyburn 👏👏👏
?
james dickrub I'm only 15, that's not actually me. My dads 48.
In Merlin Purple???????
No, Samphire Violet, another exclusive colour.
Nothing is better than a GTR
