2003 Audi RS6

While Paul Walker’s RS6 Avant surfacing online this week was pretty cool, and all I ever want is an longroof RS, the tragedy is still a little close for me to spend much time perusing that listing, let alone contemplate owning that car. For now, the more-accessible sedan will suffice just fine, as even in these insane days of horsepower wars threatening 700hp sedans on the horizon, these 450hp AWD executive saloons are still a force to be reckoned with 10 years on. This example comes in the absolutely-perfect Avus Silver Pearl, which makes all silver and grey cars wonder why they don’t shimmer that way. With just over 50k miles it’s quite a fresh example, and the price shows it.

Regarding the go-to criticism of this car – expensive maintenance – when I bought my M5 I had read enough to know that I was going to get kicked in the junk, accepted it, and moved on. If I were to buy another car this special and beastly, I’d do the same. Yep, the engine will probably destroy the transmission. Yep, the electronics will go haywire at some point. You have to decide that the unique advantages of this car – subtlety, brutality, all-weather capability, rarity – are worth it. Once you’re confident in that, you’re going to have an amazing time walking outside and seeing this thing shining. Is that worth $30k? If you love RS6s like I do, it just might be.
