This is spectacular build quality from Audi with fit and finish that is so solid and precise that it will seemingly last forever.
There is a sea of soft leather everywhere, across the dash, on the doors, the steering wheel and seating, finished with special denim blue contrast stitching available only in the Tribute edition. To my right: an easily reachable 10.1-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback for the infotainment system and a third touchscreen below for the climate controls. Facing me is a 12.3-inch digital dash with a large head up display of information in my line of sight in the window. I appreciate the quality of materials and craftsmanship of the interior as I waft along, floating on the air suspension in comfort. On these streets, the RS 6 changes its personality from a fire breathing supercar killer to a comfortable cruiser. And when the weather turns sour and wet, the all-wheel drive becomes your greatest asset, delivering power to the wheels with the most grip, maximizing traction in inclement weather conditions.Īs I drove through the busier city streets, I hit the RS button again to return to the normal drive setting and the exhaust quickly quieted down, the accelerator pedal and steering become more relaxed, and the cabin serene and quiet. Who would’ve thought that a wagon could be this fun to drive? Well, this one is. The Quattro all-wheel drive is tuned for fun and has a sport differential, which can send 100% power to the outside wheels during turns for maximum traction and feels like a big, invisible hand that magically enables the car to turn sharply into corners the faster you go. The air suspension does an amazing job of keeping the RS 6 flat through corners while soaking up bumps and road imperfections that would cause your teeth to rattle in other supercars. Is it scalpel sharp like a Porsche 911? Maybe not, but the 911 can’t haul your new dresser home either. This big car is as nimble as it is fun to drive. Packing a four-liter twin turbo V-8 engine producing 591 horsepower, 590 pound/feet of torque and a glorious, rumbling sound that grows to a roar out of it’s sports exhaust as you push faster, this 4,600 pound wagon becomes a weapon that leaps from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and puts a big smile on your face as you carve up twisty back roads. With the touch of the programmable RS button on the steering wheel, it will put all of the RS 6’s systems into the sportiest settings. The enormous 22-inch wheels, with a daring V-spoke trapezoid design are painted silver, just like the RS2, and give the vehicle striking proportions and an athletic silhouette.Īnd athletic this car is. Those blistered fenders are reminiscent of the original and iconic Audi Quattro from 1980, which went on to storm the rallycross circuit and put competing racing teams on notice that all-wheel drive is the best way to win races in all weather conditions and road surfaces. The Tribute Edition wears the same electric Nogaro blue paint as the original RS2, but there is more heritage in the design than the color. Maybe it has something to do with the color that shows off the great details in the design.
