Put deposit in on RS6 today. Gets built next month. Dealer claims US only getting 500 cars.

sorry, but don't see any advantage of RS6 over my E63s wagon. Just a hype to me. Good to see more performance wagons available but I need to see 20-30% improvements overall to switch and RS6 doesn't deliver that.

If you really believed that you’d only buy a new car once every 10-15 years!

We all like our AMG's but just like your car - you buy it if you like it. If you don't like it no one expects you to buy it. I'm a performance car enthusiast and I'd buy them all if I could. I love everything with performance whether it's a AMG, an RS, a M, a Shelby etc.

E63S Wagon
Yea, I gotta say I don't see much hype...just a badass car.

Can't argue with the color there either

What about you? You’ve been in the M5 for a few months now which means you’re about due to change it up? :p

RS6 is a sharp looking wagon!
Like the edgy design personally but I am baffled that Audi builds a car that comes in behind the current line-up, performance-wise. Stock for stock, that is.

The engine has proven very responsive across the platforms (Urus, Porsche, etc). It will go toe to toe with the E63.

Yep and with stage 1 tuning already showing 200hp gains with no hardware, it will again be more aftermarket friendly than AMG.

Agree that Audi and BMW appear to be the more tune friendly platforms.
My point was that in stock form (at least in RS7 flavor) the Audi performance was pretty disappointing.
In the first real comparos in Germany, the car was more or less 11.9/12 seconds to 200. 1.5 seconds slower than MB & BMW.

Same with track times and 0-60.

Normally any new model sets out to beat the current standard bearer. I assume that MB will try to beat the M5C for the MY21

Just surprising IMO...

We have to keep in mind that this is just the base model. The Performance version will follow and there’s still those rumors of the Porsche hybrid version trickling down as well.

RS6 Avant GT Review: A proper Final Edition?

Still prefer RS4 Avant but this RS6 Avant GT looks best in Nardo Grey IMO. Wonder if and how many coming to the US?

85 allocated to US
7 allocated to Canada

US allocated ones have no paint color choices. Only that red/white livery setup.

projected US price should be $200,000 min.

That’s how you do a Final Edition.
