    As if there weren’t already enough reasons to lust after the RS 6 Avant, Audi’s apprentices have gone and given us another. This is the RS 6 GTO Concept and it’s inspired by the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO. We may die of lust before we get to the end of this story so do bear with us. According to...

    As part of a Top Gear comparison against the Lamborghini Urus, Top Gear took the RS6 Avant out on its famed test track. Now you can watch the Stig’s full, unadulterated lap.  Weirdly, for anyone who has seen The Stig’s lap in the Caterham R500, this looks like a remarkably sedate lap with The...

    Audi stable of big RSs is officially in US dealerships today and we couldn’t be more thrilled. After seeing pictures of the cars all wrapped up in protective plastic at a dock a few weeks ago, we could hardly hold our breaths any longer. The trio of cars, the RS6 Avant, RS7, and RS Q8 start at...

    We all know at this point that the RS6 is a mighty beast of a car. But the S6 is no slouch. So how much more are you getting for your money? Quite a bit, actually. In this “dragparison,” a term that I refuse to ever use again, from Australia’s CarExpert, the RS6 Avant goes up against the S6...

    It’s been 25 years since the first RS car was unleashed upon the world’s road and Audi Sport felt that was worth celebrating. We frankly couldn’t agree more, so we’re pleased to see the RS6 Avant RS Tribute Edition. Finished in a fetching Nogaro Blue, its paint has been selected to remind you...

    So you’ve specced out your car, ticked all the boxes you need to tick except one. How big do you want your wheels? Audi sells the RS6 Avant with wheels up to 22-inches across that look sporty and aggressive. But are they sporty and aggressive? According to a head-to-head video from Auto Bild...

    The RS6 Avant has captured the imagination of the tuning world and the latest house,  Wheelsandmore, has revealed its tuning plan . And it involves power. Lots of power. The tuners say that their Stage 5 tuning program will pump the RS6 Avant all the way to 1,010 hp and 922 lb-ft of torque...

    There are still a few tuning houses in Europe that will take some of the most expensive cars on the market and turn the dial up to 11. Mansory’s latest effort, though, the RS6 Avant, might actually only turn it up to ten. The first step is, of course, pumping up the power. Instead of the stock...

    Electric cars accelerate very quickly. This is a fact so plain that it’s almost boring these days. That’s why, even though I’m rooting for EVs like the e-tron, it’s fun to see that dominance taken on by something like the RS6 Avant. That said, RS6 Avant isn’t so much a monster-killer as it is a...

    Although the year 2008 turned out not to be a good one—thanks in no small part to Deutsche Bank—things looked great going into it. And there were some other Germans making some wonderful things: like this V10 RS6 Avant. While the internet has been inundated with glowing reviews of the current...

    A lot. In short. But think of all the joy it would bring me. Sadly, the US configurator hasn’t gone live yet, so the exact price of your particular RS6 might vary, but this one is just shy of 100,000 GBP. Given the price, the options list isn’t especially extensive, but there’s enough to dig...

    Enthusiasts have been clamoring for an RS 6 Avant for years, and Audi has finally satisfied our demands. But why now?  Speaking to Road & Track , Anthony Foulk, Audi’s senior product planner, said the reasons were twofold. The first, and perhaps biggest, was the A4 Allroad’s success...

    There's no finer way to waste company time on a Monday morning than with a configurator. And this time we have a special one: the RS6 Avant. Unfortunately, it's still only on the German site, so get your desktop translators fired up. But you get to explore all the packages and equipment that...

    Making 592 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, there’s every reason to want an RS6. And soon you’ll actually be able to buy one because Audi has confirmed that it will offer the wild wagon in the US. It will offer it after the car makes its public debut at the Frankfurt...

    Audi recently let us know that there were six new RS models coming. Now a Facebook teaser photo suggests that the one coming might just be a wagon. The photo shows the back of a long-roof Audi with a taillight a glimmer and the Audi Sport logo behind. It's tough to see what's lurking under that...

    The US has long been devoid of Audi wagons for a long time now, but things might be changing soon. Audi's latest social media campaign further suggests that Audi plans to bring the A6 and RS6 Avants to the US. The tweet was posted yesterday evening and shows candle emojis surrounding "Avants in...

    The next-generation Audi A6 Avant, along with the high-performance RS6 Avant, may be sold in the United States. According to CarBuzz, Audi will bring both the A6 Avant and the RS6 Avant to North America before 2020. It's not clear why Audi has finally decided to offer the wagon variant of the...
