2002 Audi S6 Avant 6-speed

The other day it seemed as though I switched sides, abandoning my preferred Audis for the dark star of Mercedes-Benz with the E55 AMG Estate. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the S6 Avant, but perhaps the lack of manual and the mere existence of the hotter and not-for-U.S. market RS6 Avant just takes the edge of the C5 for me. Plus, the transmissions in the Audis are notorious – correctly or incorrectly – for being a bit weak and expensive to replace. The solution? A 6-speed manual converted car, of course! And this particular example even steps up above that single massive advantage with a host of RS6 upgrades as well:

I have to say, Light Silver Metallic over Silver Nappa leather wouldn’t likely have been my choice, but the rest of the car? Just about perfect. The blacked out trim is perfect. The RS6 bits are perfect. The 6-speed manual swap is perfect. The car comes from private hands, presumably with records – not a dealer lot. The only aspect I’m not crazy about are the RS4-spec wheels that to me are slightly out of place, though they admittedly fill out the wheel wheels quite well. I’d probably sport for some awesome MTM wheels, or perhaps go stealthy with 18″ S8 wheels. Condition is excellent overall and the look is just special enough without being too shouty – frankly, this is what Audi should have brought us to the U.S. market. Okay, it doesn’t have the twin-turbocharged RS6 motor so perhaps the RS6 bits are a bit sheep in wolf’s clothing, but to be the S6 was so understated that these modifications make the fast wagon stand out. And let’s not forget that even without the turbos, it still has 340 horsepower – more than enough to keep you entertained. Of the wagons I’ve written up this week, this is the one I’d have.
