Top Gear test track + Rory + RS6 = Perfect Nostalgia
Any idea how they’ve started filming there?
For real. I haven't watched TG since the OGs called it quits (and Clarkson was fired).
@@vr6one same here.
Nostalgia ? Are you joking
@@hitchy0755 yeah. I’m laughing.
Lethal Weapon. One hell of a Kombi!
Rory is one of the best motor journalists. Top Gear really down played him. Auto trader really gave him the platform to be himself 100%. He is literally the reason I watch it. 🔥🔥🔥👌 Especially that SVJ video you'll go wild just watching him.
I agree. He is excellent
Fr it was the svj video that made me start watching the channel more
The RS6 is a beast! I owned a C7 for 6 years and loved it….An amazing daily. I’ve never felt the need to drift it though👀….at over two tons playing like that will only end in one way!
I actually prefer the C7 performance RS6 over this newer one both inside out. Outdated tech? Just flip the screen with a press of a button and its timeless!
I also currently own a c7.5 RS7 perf and a rsq8 and the c7.5 is way more playful and engaging compared to the rsq8. You can definitely get the c7.5s to powerslide though, just takes some skill
@@Pabla98 keep that RS6 Performance as long as you can ;)
@@CantDcdeGoodNamsTakn I have one as well C7 performance - carbon ceramics - special paint. Just met a retired car guy with Ferrari 308, Lancia delta HF, Triumph stag, old M3 and TR6. When he heard I had the RS6 - he said keep it - future classic. I will.....
Kerosene starts playing on the radio
The RS6 1000mile review was my absolute favourite AutoTrader video on the channel
I still watch once in a while.
cultured
I don't know why, but I have always had something for those cars to the point that I just became a proud owner of one of those beautiful beasts before a few months... I have only one thing to say about it, it is such a great car!
Me to bought a new 2023 in ultra blue what a car 🥰
i bought two
automatic?
Imagine korosene starts playing 💀💀💀
As an American, I’ve always loved fast wagons and I wish there’s more wagons in the USA.
I feel your pain too.
long live the fast wagons!
I came straight to this video from Carwow's RS7 Performance review. I then got split between choosing to buy this RS6 & RS7. Quite a difficult decision to make. I was then reminded by my bank account that I don't afford any of these cars.
They should've added the drifting feature from rs3,it feels wierd to have a 600 plus hp v8 monster understeering like that
Kerosene Starts playing on the radio 👁👄👁
Now...this is the car that every dad's got to have....I truly ❤ it...keep it up my man...luv from Malaysia...
No one does a proper review of the RS6 like this guy. 🔥🔥🔥,
As a current RS6 owner, I will say this: it has been the best freaking experience ever with a daily car. I have nothing wrong to say. Honestly, I just wish stock it was louder but all cars are silenced nowadays. This is just the perfect daily driver. Very very hard to beat in terms of overall practicality knowing the fact that its a monster under the hood.
Do you have the stock air suspension or the DRC. I'm ordering an RS6 performance and not sure which way to go.
@@rgb2cmyk I wish you the best of luck soilder make sure you don't repeat history 🫡
I did the DOWNPIPES in my RS6. AMAZING change!!!
Is it really good to have a V8 as a daily car? Doesn't consume so much fuel?
5-6km/L
Kerosene starts playing...
Am a BMW fan & I just want to thank Audi for "pushing" BMW to make performance estates.nice car if I must say so.
Can’t sit to see the return of the M5 Touring
This is what the standard RS6 should’ve been, it came out in 2020 and was already slower than the then 3 years old 2017 W213 E63 and then the 2/1 year old M5 - but beyond performance it’s still the one I’d love and still my dream car, seen a few on the road and the looks and the presence is unmatched.
How’s 600hp slower ? Life isn’t just racing for a number
You're actually incorrect. We don't know how the regular RS6 would do against a regular E63 and M5. The RS6 has only gone up against the E63s and M5 Comp, which are not the standard versions. Now it's gonna be fair. RS6 perf vs M5 Comp vs E63s.
@@Average_Bruh this is what l have been saying for ages and thanks for saying facts !!!
@@enviro_400_lifewhat facts lol
Someone has to be the slowest. This is the frustrating thing about a lot of car guys today. Stop comparing to be the fastest car, no one is tracking these cars often. The m5, e63 and rs6/7 all have around the same hp. It doesnt matter if one does 1/10th of a second faster in the 1/4. Someone has to win and Someone has to lose. Audi is made for the most comfortable daily driver
Never really ‘got’ Rory as a Top Gear presenter. Loved his pieces, but felt he was somewhat stymied by the big characters at that time. Give him his own platform, and my goodness, what a guy! Blooming love all his content, and well done AutoTrader for giving him that 😀
Stymied?? Like little rascals???
I liked this video not for the car (although it's decent) but more for the well-made video itself - well put together, RR & AT-team 👍
How lucky am i. Kept looking and refreshing for your review of this car. Just needed Roy's take. Yes i am taking it then ❤️
I don’t know why, there are certain car reviews I love to see Rory reviews on and this is one of them😂 I saw other channels do reviews on this car and didn’t click. Then there are some cars I do not like to hear Rory perspective on kinda weird 😂
How about the on the coil springs which should have shaper handling... air ride is more for cruising and gran touring
Will always be a goated car
Lighter. Louder. Faster.
Sounds like a recipe for a good time.
Imagine ur driving ur audi rs6 and kerosene starts playing
I've heard there is a Competition variant of the RS6/7 coming later in 2023, with added power opposed to the performance model and a more aggressive suspension setup
Absolutely Stunning
Love the looks, curious to see how the new m5 touring will look and if it’ll be available for US market
Actually interactively he's the best. He makes you feel like you're right there with him, getting you all excited.
This dude know how to drive..i like it 🤘🏻
except, that incident....that day....that moment....
From a driver's point of view that doesn't go on a racetrack, when you say that it is not a playful car it would be a dream to own something like that. Maybe Audi should make the RS models extremely race track orientated though.
I think Audi is smart to keep their niche of road-focused performance cars. Plenty of track-focused cars, of which most buyers just use on public roads.
Pleased to see an ice motor on here again 😁
Removing isolation is a nice trick. Makes upgrading and loud exhaust installation a bit pointless. Also includes natural sound and that us what people want. If you want quiet get the TSI 40 or 50, plenty of power .
Damn, I so wish we could know what its lap time was! And then compare it to the classic Top Gear lap times of yesteryear.
We don't get the BMW in Canada.... Would you take this or a Panamera Sport Tourismo?
Audi is so benevolent they're letting you choose from a palette of six different primer greys.
Any color is available. Special order and a 10k option.
Rather than boring red, black or silver
SO MUCH NOSTALGIA ❤
4:24 that front nose lift up at full gas is beautiful :)
agreed!
what kind of watch is that (assuming a rolex from the cyclops len)? looks sharp
Audisteer lives on!
Beware of scania semis
Holy smokes Rory smiles for real what a car
I expect it would probably handle better if it didn't have such low profile tyres. A bit more height in the tyre and they could have set the suspension to suit
I'm sorry I never understood why journalists think it's a major buying criteria for a car to drift or "lose the tail" in corners! 99.9999% of buyers will never do that and they won't care because 1. this isn't a track car and 2. the don't have access to places where they can do that!! Stop adding that to a family car's advantages!
My car has only 200 hp, it is a saloon from segment D and from time to time I like to "loose the tail" on the corners, or on the snow, of course when streets are empty. Hell, I even took it to the track to test it's limits.
5:45 - States that it comes with the option of CCBs. It actually does NOT. I have submitted my build with the assumption that they would be standard on the "performance" model. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
"Let's have a drink, shall we ..whenever, Mr. Rory say the word "Understeer" :P Hihi. *10 drinks in already!
Looks like a car from 2000, nostalgic!
Those rims🔥🔥🔥🔥
such an amazing car
I saw one of these at Audi on the weekend. I want one. Hard work = toys!
Great review. Impressive drop in unsprung weight, which will add feel. Dear Mr. Audi, when can we get an electric one?
When do we get an RS6 performance plus.
new m5 touring will be the comparison to make i reckon. need to get Rory in some high value classics, like a r34GTR or a carerra gt.,
My dream daily driver ,it does everything .
You go shopping , trips with the family then go like a rocket on the highway when you leave the wife and kids at home .
A freakin awesome allround uberwagon , yeah baby , cool !!
Looking smart young man 😎
I want the M3 touring...but they don't sell it in the U.S....last I heard....anyone know if they ever will??
The wheels on that car hit hard
This vehicle looks menacing on the street. I’d do mine in satin black. Yellow calipers
The RS6, my all time fav ❤ and the retired Boeing 747s of British Airways and another airline 😊
Yes Rory , next please RS4 Competition
Great video Rory. Looks like Audi have finally sorted out the RS6, good for them. Re the lack of 'drifting/playfullness - almost all owners will only EVER push these cars either for a few seconds on a motorway slip road or on the autobahn. I worked at a race circuit for 2 years and cannot remember a single owner in an expensive, non-race prepped saloon car/estate bringing one to a track day (although we did have a solicitor who brought his wife's BMW Z4 and wrapped it around a barrier. He hadn't told her where he was going with it either..).
I've a cracking B8 RS4 and even with 450 brake it's a great drive and carries loads of street cred with all the local young guys who all love that V8 rip....😂
Should I buy this or an Aston Martin dbs superleggera
Is it limited to 180 MPH?
Top gear track?
I live on a country lane in a 20 zone where I'm pretty sure white van man and school run mum are regularly reaching 186mph.....
School run mum’s second fastest in England after white van man but in first at sticking the middle finger up while causing crashes around them 😂
@@mrortega468 They're the fastest in America, second fastest is college age women in Kia/Hyundai/Nissan Altima (BAE Big Altima Energy), and third are 6000lbs pickup trucks.
Nice performance 😊
I love the RS6 💪🏼
How come no Avant tag?
So... This is basically an ECU tune and an extra word to the badge?
This is just a way to hide the increasing price. It's 7000€ on the base price on top of the now discontinued OG Model. So 5% more Money for 5% more power. But knowing Audi, it is quite possible they increased the pricing on the extras too, so you get less in the end.
it's actually the facelift for the RS6, as it replaces the model that came out in 2020.
Should I buy this or the normal rs6 and tune it?
SUREE bud but don’t go over 200 or 300 or your done for in your life
This is so cool! Can’t wait to play Kerosene in it
Is BMW launching m5 touring ?
who else noticed the brake disc? why are the drilled slots going towards the front side of the car? I thought they're normally meant to point towards the back of the car??
Look forward to seeing lots of these wrapped around lamp posts on youtube shorts soon
It seems like with the latest RS6 and other recent RS models, the fun has gone. They are highly desirable as daily-usage cars but the sense I get from the review is that this is another extremely competent but aloof fast Audi. As he concludes, there are more fun options out there, such as the M3 Touring, if you want something more exciting. I am not talking about taking your £100k exec estate to the track, but just when you find an entertaining back road on the way home, for example, a bit more feel and excitement puts a grin on your face, not just a slight smile of "ah, here we are, back home" on your face.
The only downside of the M3 Touring is it’s awful looks
@@bield7and the horrible sounding engine
@@samcas707 good point. How could I miss that 😀
The under steer kills it
Meanwhile el gato gans hits the truck:
El gato: did it hit a truck aaaaaaaaa
I'm disappointed that Audi still prefers to be an understeer machine. When will they compete with BMW and Merc in the dynamic handling department? Such a shame for such a good looking car.
Designed to keep their drivers safe.
As a german car lover I have always wanted the rs6 in later life..well it's nearly that time and after the launch of the M3 touring I'm swaying that way now.interior better and faster and cheaper...a real shame for Audi since BMW upped the game
This car is good... But it reminds me of the old rs6 avant crash😢
My somewhat realistic dream car.
The M3 touring is quicker and not even in the same class on paper. The RS6 has the best exterior so if I could take that and put the M3 interior in and slap the E63s engine in that would be the ultimate combo
I highly prefer this interior personally. even if it’s a few years old now
M3 interior is a downgrade
@@CantDcdeGoodNamsTakn I personally don’t think so, the M3 has the better infotainment and has a more quality feel
@ManLikeYas imo the Audi integrates the screens better and is more functional with the dedicated AC screen, although I'm not a fan of screens in general. Quality wise the Audi is on par if not better, and has a more luxury cruiser interior with comfy sport seats. The M3 sport seats look cool but are not comfy at all! At least for me..
@@CantDcdeGoodNamsTakn Its much less plastic than RS6 and WAAYYY cheaper
Cool Audi RS6
Awesome but would be a RS4 for me!
This is the car the RS6 should have been from day 1 - but fear not a more formidable version is due 2024 as well
This will be discontinued and replaced with electric. Don't expect any more CE RS6s
You are correct when the new model is introduced but before then Audi have confirmed one more iteration of this bad boy but more extreme
@@peterh407what, like a desirable one? 😂
@@tristanmayor6302 if it’s not your thing it’s not your thing but it’s a bit of a niche car, owners love them and tend to keep them for years - others get them and as a fashion buy - realise what they cost to run and get out quick, this model is 631 Hp the new car to live upto it’s extreme billing will see big power / torque, less weight so be interesting what they bring to market
@@peterh407 you mean like a limited edition? If that's the case, these will be impossible to get!
the car of my dreams
The problem is that u had air suspension ... if u had the sport suspension it would have been more fun
Is it really good to have a V8 as a daily car? Doesn't consume so much fuel?
A great car in it's own right, but way too late to catch the competition
What competition?
@@trevormthembu7913A Tesla 😂
@@johnsbackwithcommonsense7628 E63? M5?
@@johnsbackwithcommonsense7628 Tesla S has no hatch back and The RS6 is almost as fast. Plus Audi much better quality and a better ride and more enjoyable.
It’s just a last edition before it goes all electric. Every brand does it.
They did it with TTrs and that’s not meant to be catching up with anyone because it’s being discontinued.

Rory could review a golf cart and I'd watch
We all want to know., is this enough to beat Mat’s beloved m5 competition? Thats all that matters.., and btw the fun estate isn’t the me touring but rather the rs3 …, cheers.
Audi is so weird
Why did they add power in the rs6 performance but not in the Audi TTRS iconic, the Audi RS5 compétition and the audi r8 GTR….
Love this new one ❤
Hankook tyres!?!?!?!?!?!?
But Rowry there's more the M5 touring G99!!❤
Sorry, I meant what is that (180) mph converted to kmh?.
Doesnt take much to just google it..., its 290 kmh
Problem is, who's it aimed at? There's not enough to tempt people to upgrade from a standard C8 RS6 (I won't be anyway) and the competition is now much further ahead (M3 touring and arguably the E63S). Seems too little too late
Pretty sure the e63s is not available anymore
M3 touring is smaller, it doesn’t compete with the rs6 (even though it’s just as quick) BMW just doesn’t make a wagon to compete, they only have the sedan.
@@ElyciusM Why isn't the M3 touring a competitor to the RS6? both fast, practical estates?
@@ElyciusM just as quick? On a racetrack the M3 smashes the RS6
Why have Audi deleted the carbon brakes option. One reason i won't be replacing my current RS6 C8
