I’ve spent 24 years working for Audi. The c7 is %100 the best Rs made, strong chassis running gear components, solid engine and robust interior. Pops and bangs, great sound and performance. Compared to the new c8, cheap plastic interior, poor quality material, muted performance. The new car is NOT better built! FACT!
There is a very clean cheap 63 plate rs6 at Newbury Audi. About to have pads and discs front and rear/diff oils. 44-46k very loving previous owner. Only 39k miles👌🏻
I’ve just put a deposit on a c7.5. I’ve heard a few horror stories about the c8 and valve springs. I’ve had RS and S Audis for 10 years. The C7 has just been on my wish list since it was released. Can’t wait to collect it. My favourite RS I’ve owed was a sprint blue RS4 b7 avant. Absolutely loved that car.
I’ve had a 3.0 BiTdi Avant for 7 years. The performance is fantastic with 645nm and 320bhp, especially in the mid range. The big plus though is that I can get up to 50 mpg on a long run and averaged 41.3 over 30,000 miles. It’s not an R/S but it’s a great alternative. Mine has almost every toy known to man too - the Vorsprung of its day. I absolutely love it.
@@1234567robbieonly if you really want the 4.0L bi turbo engine and RS styling + suspension/brakes. Otherwise it's near identical! Big advantage of the diesel is the MPG which makes it more of a perfect daily driver. I don't regret buying the RS6 though as I knew about the fuel economy and it's such a good car to own. Can't see me buying anything else for a long time!
The infotainment isn't basic, it was well thought out, as touchscreens in cars are a hand eye coordination nightmare. I haven't seen one review on the touchscreen version in newer audis where they say it is better than the old version. However, touchscreens are more marketable and obviously well received because of smartphones/tablets.. but they weren't designed for use while driving. Anyway, that isn't a refelction on the car itself, always like the RS6 in all guises
The Audi RS6 C7 (and, maybe C8) Avant = In my opinion the most handsome and aggressive looking estate cars on the road. When I see one of these come up behind me I move aside respectfully and admire, open mouthed, in silent awe. PS: That car is a beautiful example. Great video.
If I could afford to buy and run a RS6 it could easily be the only car I would ever need. I would choose an estate over a SUV all day long and an estate like this over a hot hatch
Great review, I completely agree with you on that - I love a fast, sporty estate & that's a car I would happily go out to buy right now! I actually prefer to to the current Audis - I struggle with my Wife's A3 Edition 1, just can't get used to the tech at all. Personally, I prefer the MMI controller over a touch screen (I've had a shot of the BMW iDrive system, which is similar & it's far more intuitive) - Audi took a step back in abandoning it, imho. One of the very few cars I'd change my Golf R Estate for - just stunning! As for the folk complaining about you putting rubble in it? That's what an estate car is for - it's the only car you'd ever need! I got a fridge freezer onto my R, as well as a flat pack home office from IKEA🤣. Estate cars are just the best
I just bought one these beasts, cant believe i got my dream car!!! 2014 C7 RS6 in panther black with a pan roof and heads up display. Ecu and gearbox remap to 649hp 830nm or torque. Monster car!!!
No doubt you're enjoying it mate! Picking one of these up in a couple of weeks myself, can't wait! only 48k miles, Sepang Blue, SS seats, pan roof, (non) DRC with CETE lowering module, full stage 2 package and 18k worth of mods from previous owners. Running a slightly safer/lower torque 720hp/930nm compared to other +1000nm. Like a kid on xmas eve and counting down the hours till I pick it up. Will easily be the best car I'll have ever owned :)
@@sarcastixx74 sound amazing! I am enjoying it. But the map the previous owner put on was just an off the shelf product and it's doesn't play well with the gearbox, had a rev mismatch issue and it said I lost reverse gear! But it's been fine, going to MRC tuning in April for a custom stage 1 map for £1k, they are expecting it to hit 680-690hp and 900nm torque which is plenty. Stage 2 would set me back £4k and only get me to the same 720hp and 1000nm torque. So I'm not sure I'm going to push stage 2 until I can get the Wagner charge cooler and radiators to go with it. I have DRC on mine which is fine until it goes wrong lol. Sepang blue is just the best colour. I only got black because it was within my budget and close to home.

@@JP_RS6 My current sprint blue B8 S4 has MRC stage 2 on it, previous owner put it on and it's been absolutely faultless. Coupled with the TVS stage 2+ TCU tune from Ecotune it's been transformed and the DSG has been a total gem. To be honest I'm a bit worried about the straight line off the mark grunt of the 6 compared to it as the S4 can easily hit 60 in around 3.5 secs but I'm sure the sound of the V8 will more than make up for it!

I have one with pan roof, cc brakes and dynamic suspension so it’s speed is less restrictive but still a standard c7 model. It is as you say an incredibly solid car. I have owned it from new managed 40mpg from it on a optimised long run but equally 34 mpg fully fully loaded boot with 4 adults up. I could never sell it for a C8. I have seen these with 100k mileage and the interiors look almost new, just with the leather seats warn in. Look after it, service properly and change the oil every year, irrespective of mileage as the hot v engine does run hot and you will be fine. I live in a hot summer country were some days I drive this and the air temperature is 47c. In the shade. The temperature gauge stays absolutely constant.
Nice video! I have just given up my C7 RS6 (2013) with Litchfield conversion (as appeared in Top Gear mag). Did 139,000 miles all driven by me over 8 or so years. So enjoyable. Now driving a new RS5 - a really nice car, but the engine cannot complete with the V8! But 40 MPG is possible and that, at the moment, is important!! Cheers, Mark.
I own a C8 RS6 and I think you’re right! I do love the C8 and think it’s a better all round comfortable car but the C7 is just a little more exciting with a better sound.
Looks much better than the new one imo, just subtle enough that most people will just think its a normal Audi estate, but with some presence. Rs6 styling done right. The new one looks completely OTT.
The c8 is a less better car in every way. The RS7 C7 is the last good one! Buy the c7 instead it will keep its value much better and will be a future classic!!
Great review. I say B7 RS4 and R8 are all better RS cars. I have an RS7 (same mechanically as RS6 plus lighter weight, and love it, but my previous RS4 was an all time great. R8 4.2 manual is the best Audi ever.
B7 is a nice car but the DRC lottery isn't really what we'd expect from Audi. R8 isn't an RS though it is made by Audi Sport. I've owned one and while that appeals to the extrovert in me, RS6's lower key brutality is so much cooler.
Literally my dream car love it..One thing the star button on the steering wheel i think can be used as a drive select button along with being able to be changed to another function through settings..
Had a courtesy A6 from this period, it was fantastic. Pure comfort and even though they’re massive it really doesn’t feel like it on the road. With all the cameras etc parking was a cinch.
Doesn’t your car have the drive select button on the steering wheel (right hand side), this lets you toggle through the drive modes easily and not use the MMi controller if you don’t want too 👍
How did the driving experience compare to the new b9 rs6? I have seen your spec and the new one in person and I agree your spec and model is the best, the sound, the build quality and experience is second to none... enjoy!
From memory it wasn’t that different. I’d read how the C8 was so much better going around corners so expected C7 to be like a grand piano on wheels but it’s very tidy, at least on the road. On track C8 improvements might be more apparent but it’s in no way a track car so overall C7 seems a better package

Ultimate dream daily especially with that sound. I prefer over the new rs6. Closest to being in one is my friends 2016 s8 which is less powerful and heavier. Still really quick but abit too relaxing being based on a a8
Love the C7 RS6 Avant as it’s peak Audi but not too brash or blingy- is this part of the Volkswizard fleet permanently as despite mileage it looks so clean - sane car here is around $160k AUD so around its new ‘15 price before options - enjoy despite fuel bill 🙏🚀🥰
In regards to A K, that's true. But it looks meaner. Part of this is due to environmental regulations taking a toll on the price of building such a car. Combine that with a failing supply chain (which frankly probably didn't affect the C8), and you have to give Audi some grace. However, lately, the VW group have been butchering some automotive icons.
@@volkswizard nor do I, but I do have one. The C7.5 is far better than the C7 - not in performance, that remained the same stock and performance models but with double glazed and front heated windscreen, retune of the 4cyl mode, better headlights, high beam assist, Apple car play added, and some other 'stuff' per se. Thanks for your video - i agree with it all.

Great video and a great car! Have a nice roadtrip across Europe!👌😍
My dream car!
Thanks!
Nice, just missing a pan roof.
In regards to A K, that's true. But it looks meaner. Part of this is due to environmental regulations taking a toll on the price of building such a car. Combine that with a failing supply chain (which frankly probably didn't affect the C8), and you have to give Audi some grace. However, lately, the VW group have been butchering some automotive icons.
i'm goning for rs5 b.8.5, rs6 is way to big and fatty for me 😂
Very nice 👍
Beautiful ☺️
I want one
CD player, dirty noise & analogue dials. What more does a man need?
Nice one! I haven't driven mine for a while but you've just inspired me to do so 👍
Did you come off Twitter? 😳
C7.5 no...................................... ?
It’s a facelift model but not seen it called that as it’s largely the same. Having said that I don’t go on forums
@@volkswizard nor do I, but I do have one. The C7.5 is far better than the C7 - not in performance, that remained the same stock and performance models but with double glazed and front heated windscreen, retune of the 4cyl mode, better headlights, high beam assist, Apple car play added, and some other 'stuff' per se. Thanks for your video - i agree with it all.
@@volkswizard I also done a trackday in my RS6 - search for 'The Beast' - i took it to donnington.
