It killed me when he’s going on about how he can’t find a way to turn it off and we can see the button RIGHT THERE lol. Its certainly not obvious unless you know it, but very easy to control
I have one. A tango red vorsprung. I absolutely adore the car. I couldn’t give a scooby doo that an e63 is 0.1 of a second faster in a drag race. This is the best looking family wagon on the road. Period.
Will get mine in a few weeks. I know its a bad investment, but its my dream since i was 18yo. How much do you pay for the regular checkups and oil and filtters changes? On my c7 allroad biturbo would cost me about 250 euros. Hope is no more than double for the rs.
Congrats! You’ll love it! Service is £700 every 12k. Depending on how you drive you’ll get 15k from a set of tyres (£1200). Brake disks and pads will outlast your ownership. Expect an overall average mpg of 21 / 22 mpg.
Audi PR: RBR was really negative about the RS6, let's bribe him with free cars to use for extended periods. How about an RS6 free for a few months? RBR: You know what, I was too harsh. Lovely car! All those other complaints I had? Not so important anymore!
The standard issue 21" wheels look incredible on this car. Especially paired with the Alu-matte trim as opposed to the much more commonly seen Black Optic trim. Perfect blend of modern and classic Audi in Nogaro Blue!
Agree with all your comments. Also the reason it gets such good mileage is due to it actually being a mild hybrid. Your tester didn’t have the pano roof, the rws or the carbon brakes but in my view they are all almost must haves.
Carbon brakes aren’t always a must have since a brake service will run you $8000. The standard breaks are phenomenal for daily driving no need unless you’re tracking the car.
I’ve had my Vorsprung for three years now (sebring black). I still get really nice comments from passers by. I love the car & it looks so much better than it’s Merc/BMW rivals. I’ll be upgrading to the performance edition later this year. You know that if you press start/stop first, select RS mode & then start the car it stays in RS mode & keeps the rumble? Like the Merc emotion start. The regular startup shuts the butterfly valves after about 2 seconds. My only beef is that mine didn’t have the fully automated parking system which you really do need with the 22” low profile wheels & with it being a bit wider at the back. I’ve kerbed mine so many times 😂 I’m not sure if the vorsprung is supposed to have it anyway but I’ll have to check on the Performance edition (it’s part of the technology pack pro).
@@rekaarnes nobody cares. I live next to the german autobahn and you here, an English guy, tells us it's so slow because an RS7 performance is .1 seconds slower to 62mph than an M5 comp... in all honesty just shut the hell up
@@rekaarnesit's still bloody fast, the minor acceleration differences between this and the M5 or E63 are relevant only to window shoppers that'll never afford a car in this class.
I love this channel, always great viewing(otherwise I wouldn't watch)..and to be clear I love the info in this.. However I so often struggle with the lack of volume its recorded or uploaded with, I hope I'm not alone! Much respect brother for all you do
Recently sold my 2020 F-Type P450 & replaced it with a 2023 RS5 coupe as my main driver & currently also running a 2020 RR Velar as my shopping, DIY, tip van & general passenger mobile runaround! Using a Range Rover for just those activities has gotta be the definition of middle-class decadence, right?! When I get to my mid-30s (in 3-5 years), I might just combine those two cars into the RS6. Never had a performance Audi before just an A4 2.0 TDI but I absolutely love the new gen & the future's looking good too.
I have a Nogaro Blue B6 S4 Avant, and one of my best memories was stuffing a 40 gal water heater in it and dueling with an air cooled 911 on the way home.
You seemed to enjoy the air suspension. If you’ve driven a C8 with DRC I’d love to hear how it compares. I assume you’d like the increased stiffness when driving aggressive but I wonder if it’s a big step down vs the air in comfort mode. Thanks for another informative and honest video!
I also have DRC and Sport Diff with Michelin PS 4S Rubber As options which makes a massive difference as a more performance wagon instead of a more luxury option.. I also track it once a month and is super capable and fun. I've owned th B9 Rs4 and E63s aswell and I love my Rs6 the most.
Nice review thank you. However, when cutting to exterior driving footage it was almost muting your voice...couldnt hear a lot of what you were saying for engine sounds. Worth checking your sound levels when editing.
The lane assist is turned off by the press button on the end of the indicator stalk. It also stays off unless you turn it back on. At least that is th case on my 22MY RS6
The difference between a super car and super wagon is a wagon you can live with it everyday of the week and still leaves a smile on your face when you get home
Thanks for the review, nice format. It might not be as relatively "darty" or precise as the M3 Touring, but it's sweet, the RS6, that V8, and it's even a bit too muffled, it can really use a special exhaust system, it's possible to get even with EU regulations. Audi should've lended you the Performance versions though.
Now you're praising the sound, when you disliked it in your previous video (among many other things)? Sounds like Audi have paid you for this "sequel" - absolutely not trustworthy.
It really doesn't natter that its not quite the match for at the bleeding edge as its still the one that gets the admiring glances on the road and its the one that is king of the pub car park etc.. Buy one chip it or not its still the king and always will be in my view. The only thing that rivals it for looks is the RS7
Those lovely styling lines are from the Prologue concept design language, probably their best ever (shame they re moving away to rounded corners and squinty headlights in the next gen). As for power, Add a low cost Stage 1 tune then enjoy all the power you need. Audi restricts their cars, BMW let’s them go!
As a pre-LCI F90 CP owner, I am curious to know if you swapped and, if so, how they compare. Love my F90 but, my family don’t (mainly because of the hard ride), so always interested in alternatives!
I have noticed on Autotrader that many RS6 adverts show the cars have had a lot of owners? with your experience, why would that be the case? Do you think its the expense of running the car or maybe some expensive problems were looming and the car was moved on?
Calling 3.6 seconds from 0-100km/h slow is simply just ridiculous. We don't care about all these 2.5 seconds ev cars... it's still faster than 99% on the road
Great review, cheers. But the question is: this or the M3 Touring? Or the Merc E? :) I'm in the market for something reasonable, yet somewhat fast, but so far SUVs have only hit the sweet spot for me. I'd have gone for an Audi Q8 but the design is quite old, so I'm choosing between the X5 and the GLE Coupe. Then, come the new GLC Coupe... Although, that one is a bit pricey, quite fast and does not behave like an SUV. Damn! But the BMW 3 Touring or Merc E might be a good option, too... Just need something to put my bike when going to the mountains.
M3 Touring wouldn't even pop in my mind next to this... especially since the performance version has been launched which looks even better. This car just looks so good from every angle and has a way nicer interior. The ultra comfortable seats, microfiber headliner, B&O advanced sound system are all features you only get a class above a bmw 3 series. Those luxury features make imo more the car and not the nurburgring time... because nobody races in real life. X5 is cool I don't like the facelift as much anymore but I'd always take the GLE as a regular suv not coupe because I find it very ugly with all that plastic in the rear, but that's just my opinion. Personally if I was for an SUV I would trade the amg in for a Range Rover Sport SVR. In the 100'000 Euro price range everything else seems quite boring.
I'm not convinced I'd be lining up to buy the new Performance version of the RS6. The C8 is at the end of its lifecycle and you'd be paying serious money for what is a end of generation car. A Stage 1 tune on the standard C8 RS6 will give you more power than the Performance and for a low mileage second hand one you'd be paying half the price.
The RS6 has multiple reliability issues even on standard power, transmission and drivetrain faults, suspension faults, steering faults, poor quality trim and body issues, oil pressure problems, worn seals, low oil pressure, faulty oil pumps, misfires and fuelling problems, faulty injectors, turbocharger failures are common, sensors randomly fail, and to finish up, lots of electrical problems. And you want to tune it so it can keep up with it's rivals ?? Expect to be bankrupt within a year.
@@DjNikGnashers you are talking about the c7… totally different car. They stopped making the c7 in 2018. C8 has alternator problems. Which is ridiculous for a car that came out late 2019.
3 months isn't long enough to experience the painful and expensive unreliability issues the RS6 throws up to owners. Your original video was genuine and honest, the RS6 does not live up to the hype at all. Funny that now you have been given a free RS6 for a few months, all of a sudden, the things you didn't like about the car on first impression, you know, the genuine and honest opinions you made, now don't matter anymore ? Come on man, this is obvious bs, you have been bought out. I quite like the styling, it's subtle, it doesn't have too much fakery (although it still has 'some'). The M5 Touring is going to blow this outdated and overhyped tank, out of the water.
@@hoanvumassachusetts No, I haven't sir. I have worked in the motor trade for many years though, and I do know a little about vehicle engines. I'll stick with my M2 thanks, although the RS6 has more luggage space if that is a requirement. Edit to add : But if I needed an estate/touring, the M3Touring would be where I put my money.
@@DjNikGnashers So, you don't own an RS6, and you worked in the motor trade, yet your statement made it sound like BMW has better reliabilty. It's your money, you can put whereever you think it suites you. However, you can't deny that the RS6 has much more room than the M3 Touring. Vice versa, the M3 is smaller which has better handling.
@@hoanvumassachusetts I don't disagree with that. If ultimate space was top of my list, I wouldn't buy an M3Touring, but I also wouldn't buy an RS6 either. I'd buy something which has more space than either. Both of these cars (and the Audi / Mercedes competitors), and not designed for the ultimate space, they are performance cars which have a bit more space than the saloon equivalent. As such, I'd favour ultimate performance and reliability over a tiny bit more space. The BMW does have better reliability, that is a fact. It also has better handling, and a better chassis, another fact.
Hello from the USA. I’m on the fence and negotiating with an Audi dealer here for one. Got him down to MSRP. They like up charging a lot here. To the owners of these cars, what’s the one thing you’d change of you could?
I wish these car manufactures would get away from these video game consoles. I don't want to wrestle with menus and sub menus. Just bring back the dials. The flat panel instrumentation is maddeningly annoying. DIALS! Bring back the Dials!
Never thought you were objective. You are definitely a BMW person and all your watchers know that. Nothing beats a Quattro. Try driving home at night on an A road raining with your kids in the car. That’s when you start to appreciate a torsion diff. Sure footedness. Not everyone are silly to start taking a car around a track. Case and point, some of the most respected automotive engineers industry drive an Audi RS4 or RS6.
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan's "cancer charity" accountant is MrAMG's father. His mother was embroiled into a legal dispute with her ex-husband over a £1.75M property in the UK. "For over 20 years, since well before the marriage, I was reluctant to hold the legal title to (the property) except as a trustee for others, because my role as chairman of the trustees of the Imran Khan Cancer Appeal ... made me potentially liable for any improper dissipation of the substantial funds ... under the charity's control." "Improper dissipation of the substantial funds"...One can only imagine the SUBSTANTIAL amounts of money that were improperly dissipated as a result of managing that fund/charity. I wanted to like this channel badly.
I’d like an extended test drive in one, but Audi don’t want to listen who’s actually prepared to part with some cash. I’m an Audi fanboy, have owned 6 over the years and still do now, but still they are not interested.
You will be bankrupt after 5 years. Transmission and drivetrain faults, suspension faults, steering faults, poor quality trim and body issues, oil pressure problems, worn seals, low oil pressure, faulty oil pumps, misfires and fuelling problems, faulty injectors, turbocharger failures are common, sensors randomly fail, and to finish up, lots of electrical problems. They are actually extremely unreliable.
@@DjNikGnashers Pmsl! What a pile of utter shite. No issues at all with mine. Only replaced HP fuel pumps and I'll be putting new spark plugs and front brakes in at the end of the year. Can you please direct us all to the source of all the misery you've quoted? Nice little list you've got there, do you write your own material? Let me guess...BMW fanboy perhaps🤣🤣
@@sarcastixx74 Just because YOU have not had as many problems as others, does not mean others have not had dozens of issues.

Why did you have to replace the high pressure fuel pumps if your car was soooo reliable son eh ?
@@DjNikGnashers Yawn. Again, source? Of course, none. "Trolling".."son", little playground jibes getting you nowhere fast. I've got socks older and wiser than you. And how have I failed? Pointed out you are full of shit and this is your comeback. Love hearing from those with the claims of oooh so much "vast experience" in the trade. Means the square root of fuck all, likely amounts to how much you actually know. Genuine mechanics know *all* brands and cars have issues, some more than others. As for the HPFPs on these cars. They are a *maintenance* item, a *consumable* and are replaced at around 8 years or so with age. Ok little DJ?
After driving around 10 A4/A6 for around 15 years for my company together with 3/5 series and C/E class I must say Audi lost in every way. Especially the last 3 years.
RS6 is a moving environmental disaster zone that is SFA use on U.K. roads. Living in the north of Scotland my 530d XDrive at 280 BHP is more than does the job.
You turn the lane assist off by holding the button on the end of the indicator stalk.
Don't even need to hold it. Just press it.
Correct! I have mine off 95% of the time, generally only have it on for long boring straight highway journeys.
It killed me when he’s going on about how he can’t find a way to turn it off and we can see the button RIGHT THERE lol. Its certainly not obvious unless you know it, but very easy to control

Really like them standard wheels on this more that optional wheels
Still the wagon to beat. What a car! Looking forward to the A6 E-Tron & RS6 Sedan.

Is it really when something like an M3 touring has it beaten from the class below let alone the M5 touring just announced...
@@johnguidetti5839 I'd prefer the M3 over the Rs6, but when i think of the OG manly af estate, its the Rs6
There is even an RS6 GT incoming, as spy photos of camouflaged vehicles on public roads showed! Seems like an M5 CS Pendant!
Let's hope that the new incoming RS models get an upgraded BSG that don't leave people stranded on the road.
Audi has the balls to charge us $120k for an RS6 but the sunroof is optional.

That matte blue carbon makes my heart melt
I have a Nogaro Blue B6 S4 Avant, and one of my best memories was stuffing a 40 gal water heater in it and dueling with an air cooled 911 on the way home.
The vid is fine exept those sounds and shines whenever transitioning through cars
There's literally a button at the end of the cruise control stalk to turn off lane assist...
You seemed to enjoy the air suspension. If you’ve driven a C8 with DRC I’d love to hear how it compares. I assume you’d like the increased stiffness when driving aggressive but I wonder if it’s a big step down vs the air in comfort mode. Thanks for another informative and honest video!
I have DRC too. I am very interested in such comparison as my family always complain the ride comfort!
the DRC is better for Autobahn speeds as far as I'm informed. But UK citizens don't have to worry with that
My RS6 is with DRC. It’s still very comfortable in comfort mode, you don’t need an air suspension. DRC gives you better in handling

You can turn off the "lane control" with the little switch on the indicator shifting arm.
And diving into the MMI has some adjusts - took a while to find … and I can’t remember how
easily 1 of the best looking cars ever!!
You need a better microphone, sounds muted
Talking bullocks
What a car. But would have the Vorsprung edition which would give you the black accents. Do not like the anodised aluminium trim.
Can you try an Alpina B5 I would love to know how it’s extra comfort setting compares to this and M5 E63
Nice review thank you. However, when cutting to exterior driving footage it was almost muting your voice...couldnt hear a lot of what you were saying for engine sounds.
Worth checking your sound levels when editing.
yep yep, the whole video is in -11dB compared to youtube standard LUFs, while the engine was way too loud compared to that.
I wouldn't be looking for my wagon to have sports car dynamics. I'm curious if you think it makes a great gt.
The lane assist is turned off by the press button on the end of the indicator stalk. It also stays off unless you turn it back on. At least that is th case on my 22MY RS6
My A8L 60, same.
Same as my RS5.
9:20 wingbacks need to come back as an option in Audis. Can beat a set of wingbacks they trump any new audi seat including the super sport ones
I saw one, at a Sonic restaurant here in the US, & it was absolutely stunning currently own a c7 A6 💯

Both of these cars (and the Audi / Mercedes competitors), and not designed for the ultimate space, they are performance cars which have a bit more space than the saloon equivalent.
As such, I'd favour ultimate performance and reliability over a tiny bit more space.
The BMW does have better reliability, that is a fact. It also has better handling, and a better chassis, another fact.
Too much talk ... is supposed to be a car review not a personal platform for self indulgence...
New here?
easy to turn off lane keep its on the stalk and resets to default on each time you switch off. Stalk button dead easy
Those wheels look so much better!
Hello from the USA. I’m on the fence and negotiating with an Audi dealer here for one. Got him down to MSRP. They like up charging a lot here. To the owners of these cars, what’s the one thing you’d change of you could?
Go for the performance model instead!
@@danlee8090Great advice. I passed on the regular model of RS6.
editor needs to win an award 👏👏
not the sound editor :D a lot of times the exterior exhaust noise was WAY over what he was saying :) Altho I sure much preferred the V8 rumble :D
Take off is amazing 🔥
King video.
Er bribed !!
RS6 performance?
I wish these car manufactures would get away from these video game consoles. I don't want to wrestle with menus and sub menus. Just bring back the dials. The flat panel instrumentation is maddeningly annoying. DIALS! Bring back the Dials!
Never thought you were objective. You are definitely a BMW person and all your watchers know that. Nothing beats a Quattro. Try driving home at night on an A road raining with your kids in the car. That’s when you start to appreciate a torsion diff. Sure footedness. Not everyone are silly to start taking a car around a track. Case and point, some of the most respected automotive engineers industry drive an Audi RS4 or RS6.
The torque converter and the boat like handling killed it for me the e63 wagon is way better but it looks so ugly. Ugggh
what year is that car and model??
"The rumble is strong"... paid Audi commercial... move along people...
HOLY SHITB RS6 SEDAN PLEASEEEEE COME TO THE US
C7 RS6 was the best ever….❤
With Mercedes ditching there hybrid high end performance cars I feel like the other manufacturers will end up doing the same thing!
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan's "cancer charity" accountant is MrAMG's father. His mother was embroiled into a legal dispute with her ex-husband over a £1.75M property in the UK.
"For over 20 years, since well before the marriage, I was reluctant to hold the legal title to (the property) except as a trustee for others, because my role as chairman of the trustees of the Imran Khan Cancer Appeal ... made me potentially liable for any improper dissipation of the substantial funds ... under the charity's control."
"Improper dissipation of the substantial funds"...One can only imagine the SUBSTANTIAL amounts of money that were improperly dissipated as a result of managing that fund/charity.
I wanted to like this channel badly.
Cool story bro, anyway you like rs6?
beautiful car, but the standard audi rims are just awful... your rims look fantastic...
16 minutes of gibberish
I’d like an extended test drive in one, but Audi don’t want to listen who’s actually prepared to part with some cash. I’m an Audi fanboy, have owned 6 over the years and still do now, but still they are not interested.
Curious to know how much it costs you yearly to maintain after 5 years
You will be bankrupt after 5 years.
Transmission and drivetrain faults, suspension faults, steering faults, poor quality trim and body issues, oil pressure problems, worn seals, low oil pressure, faulty oil pumps, misfires and fuelling problems, faulty injectors, turbocharger failures are common, sensors randomly fail, and to finish up, lots of electrical problems.
They are actually extremely unreliable.
@@DjNikGnashers Pmsl! What a pile of utter shite. No issues at all with mine. Only replaced HP fuel pumps and I'll be putting new spark plugs and front brakes in at the end of the year. Can you please direct us all to the source of all the misery you've quoted? Nice little list you've got there, do you write your own material? Let me guess...BMW fanboy perhaps🤣🤣
@@sarcastixx74 Just because YOU have not had as many problems as others, does not mean others have not had dozens of issues.
I'm a car fanboy, and worked in the motor trade for years, so try a bit harder with the trolling son, because you failed there.
Why did you have to replace the high pressure fuel pumps if your car was soooo reliable son eh ?
@@DjNikGnashers Yawn. Again, source? Of course, none. "Trolling".."son", little playground jibes getting you nowhere fast. I've got socks older and wiser than you. And how have I failed? Pointed out you are full of shit and this is your comeback. Love hearing from those with the claims of oooh so much "vast experience" in the trade. Means the square root of fuck all, likely amounts to how much you actually know. Genuine mechanics know *all* brands and cars have issues, some more than others. As for the HPFPs on these cars. They are a *maintenance* item, a *consumable* and are replaced at around 8 years or so with age. Ok little DJ?
Wait, there’s Costco in the U.K.?
And its saloon not sedan.
RS6 Performance.
3s 0 - 60 will never be slow.
why is this coming out right as BMW announces the M5 touring haha.
M5 touring will be legendary
Will it be available in USA?
Audi rs6 is a legend but the m5 touring will humiliate it.
To be honest bmw waited too long to make another m5 touring, either the f10 or f90 would have been amazing all rounders as wagons
@@tnproduction7674i doubt it
@@petercollins3291 you will not see a new rs6 before 2028. But the new M5 will be out next year.
The best wagon ever made are the Toyota probox and the volvo xc70
Button on the indicator stalk hold down for lane assist. 0:02
Why does he only make videos of German cars?
Why are you calling it a wagon (estate). You're not American.
**KEROSENE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**
Lol. Slap on the wrist from Audi. Naughty TH-camr.
After driving around 10 A4/A6 for around 15 years for my company together with 3/5 series and C/E class I must say Audi lost in every way. Especially the last 3 years.
Takk!
Legend 👊
RS6 is a moving environmental disaster zone that is SFA use on U.K. roads. Living in the north of Scotland my 530d XDrive at 280 BHP is more than does the job.
You can turn lane assist off but deep in the car setup menu
You hit a pot hole
let me pay extra for pdk
Audi gave you a car ? Wow
And his original honest and genuine opinion of it, has now suddenly changed ....
Funny how that happens hey .
agreed @@DjNikGnashers
