2022 Audi RS6 Avant Review - Defying the Laws of Physics

[@RevMatch111]

Owner here. Thanks Zygrene for the great review! AMA.

[@Rayman.g]

How’s the consumable costs on these? I have a feeling Ik the answer lol

[@CarYenta-1]

How much sleep do you lose over worrying about those front rotors?? Such an epic wagon with the best presence on the road ❤

[@RevMatch111]

@@Rayman.g I’ve had it for almost 2 years since new. Outside of regular services, I had to buy 1 quart of engine oil for topping off between services. Now at 14k miles. Average mpg is at 15 with daily driving in traffic.

[@RevMatch111]

@@CarYenta-1 thanks! worrying for what reason? I don’t think I’ll need to replace the rotors for probably 100k miles.

[@haidarali9069]

What do you do for work? Affording a RS6 in california is the dream it must be awesome on the canyons.

[@TranceFur]

5,000 lbs. Holy crap. I had no idea they were that heavy. The fact that it handles well at all is incredible.

[@Forest-garage]

Owner as well. It’s not quite 5000lb but only a few hundred pounds off that mark lol. I’ve got the carbon ceramics which sheds maybe 100lb. Still love it.

[@augustortiz]

I thought they were 4300-4400 lbs. but 5000lbs is nearly Jeep Trackhawk territory. That is insane. This thing must chew those tires.

[@kcw9313]

200lbs heavier than a Model S Plaid... and much, much slower.

[@Unicornpirate]

@@kcw9313 I'd take this over a Tesla. More street presence

[@augustortiz]

@@kcw9313 It could weigh 6000lbs and be slower than a stock Hyundai Kona and I'd still take it over any Tesla.

[@scottcolpitts8521]

Hate to see the repair bills in 10 years.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

It has the ludicrous back of engine 15 chain doom timing as well on top of the endless other features, audi doesn't exactly build for longevity anymore, period of lease, great looking car though

[@Average_Bruh]

​@@Kingsoupturbo yeah. It's still a business. The more reliable cars are, the less cars people will buy because they won't need to. With the wide range of vehicles available today, i think we have reached peak reliability with each brand respectively. With that said, it's all about the bottom line.

[@craig8638]

Wagons are much better than SUVs. Today’s wagons are not the wagons old guys like me grew up with.

[@Username85254]

SQ5 owner here, not necessarily, with 034 tune, intake, front mounted intercooler and some suspension mods, almost same as RS6

[@joeracer302]

@@Username85254 yea, but you bought a luxury SUV that will depreciate hard, then did a bunch of mods the majority of buyers won’t want on a car or a car that was modified with, so you’ve now hurt resell even more. Whereas the RS6 resell is holding strong.

[@Slowwagonftl]

I’ve got an Alltrack. A size down and fwd based AWD but all the space in the back. It’s a shame we hate them here.

[@ricepony33]

May the Lease be with you!

[@richboy900]

That's such a stunning spec 🔥

[@JacobMueller]

EV weights, damn, did not expect that. Seems like a bit of lag while launching even if it feels good once you're rolling. Are there different settings for the hybrid usage?

[@Zygrene]

Not that I was aware of

[@Forest-garage]

No the hybrid is only for fuel economy not added power which is a missed opportunity by Audi.

[@FreshYoungDude]

Coolest daily? I think so.

[@DarianDedrick]

Ummm did he just call a B7 RS4 an “understeering pig”?

[@Zygrene]

Maybe a slight overstatement. But slight.

[@Forest-garage]

I thought b7s handled well.

[@mrmonday42]

I would love to see you compare this with the current E63 AMG wagon in the canyons

[@2Drezik]

Is that the car model where the diff always breaks in thousands of pieces ?

[@germancarsarebetter]

How did you know I was cross shopping one? Now I have to watch this…

[@basslover352]

I'm really curious to see what you think of the rs3.

[@Birmingham_racing]

I prefer the previous gen c7 but it's still a stunning car

[@pan4632]

great vid, you gotta try an RS3!

[@mariofabry5536]

Great video

[@gavinthomas2225]

My dream car, ever since I saw the concept. Unfortunately, I will never own one

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

Just imagine the consumable cost and the rate you'll be going through them at with that weight.

[@royaltyallen1162]

Road name?

[@PD-nz5rk]

Owner here as well. They are about 2.2 tons, roughly 4400lbs.

[@lanternrouge3605]

2200 kilos is 4850 lbs

[@wday482]

Would have to get rid of the car before the sticker shock of getting 4 new 22” tires!

[@bobreno4042]

And those brakes needing service $$$

[@lounge2fly2]

Love the RS6 but digging the Type S. It actually holds its own next to it. RS7 will smoke it but still.

[@Imanormalperson103]

Play kerosean and ur not making it home today

[@30hours51]

how is this 5000??? a SUV weighs less?

[@Helloythh]

Kerosene playing ☠️

[@nodrogkam]

pZeros letting it down, but wow very cool and glad it exists!

[@kcw9313]

CORRECTION: Front discs are 16.5", not 17".

[@NH-ud9si]

Your correction is incorrect. The Carbon Ceramic front discs fitted to this car are 17.3".

[@daniel1838]

Most overrated car
