Back in 2020 I saw the first shipment of fully wrapped RS6s arrive at the port next to my home. Audi’s top-tier wagon had finally arrived, with a full-fat 4.0T cranking out 561 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a hybrid assistance motor and an eight-speed automatic gearbax, it’s no surprise the numbers are staggering. 0-60 is a hair over 3 seconds, and it’ll bury the needle close to 200 mph if deregulated. This isn’t a supercar; this is a five-passenger wagon that weighs in just over 5,000 lbs – with nothing in it! Also staggering? The tech, with touchscreens, virtual cockpit, and torque-vectoring. The tires, which measure 285/30 and up to 22″ in diameter. The brakes, which are 16.5″ in front and ‘only’ 14.6″ out back. And, the price. People are still in line to wait for these cars, and that’s despite the monster pricetag starting at $121,000. Tick a few extra options, like running the car through Audi Exclusive with a color like today’s Goodwood Green Pearl Effect, and you’re looking at $140,000 plus!
