Paul is the Aussie version of Matt Watson.

PS. I'd take the S6 and put the $60k savings on something else. I'm guessing the S6 is a more relaxed, comfortable drive overall.

[@daytoncorl271]

I agree, but I prefer his methods with the brake test, Matt Watson always does it based on how quick of a reaction the other cars have but at least Paul tracks both cars 100-0 times and distance

I have a C8 2020 S6. The price difference for me just didn't seem justified. Now I have an APR Stage 1 tune and some mods, so I'm curious how I'd run against an RS6. I do love the wagon though. How we haven't readily adopted them in America is beyond me.

[@aliibn-muhammadal-sharif8568]

That is what you call a car review! Awesome work!

[@grecoconduris6716]

The weight saving in the brakes is impressive given the caliper size on the RS6 looks to be much bigger. Must be mostly in the disc.

[@CarExpertAus]

Agreed! It's all in the composition - the standard brakes a steel. This is a carbon composite, which when used on all four wheels saves a stack of weight.

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

Great comparison. Looking forward to what Audi does with the RS6 Performance. Perhaps Urus power figures?

[@CarExpertAus]

Me too - it'll be an absolute rocket ship!

[@leonardt.1899]

In germany we have the s6 with a 3.0 tdi with 350HP. It is interesting for people who drive many kilometers per year. But the rs6 Stars a beast; especially the design of this one is awesome.

[@jae9843]

So moral of the story is that if you can't afford an RS6, get a used low-miles previous generation (C7) S6 with the 4L V8TT, throw some RS6 turbos on it with a tune, and have yourself RS6-like straight-line performance and exhaust notes for way less than a brand new S6 with the overly-complicated V6+electric supercharger.

True!

I’ve seen the A6 55 tfsi of the same year hit 4.68 0-60 in good conditions.. I have the prestige 20’ with the factory 21” on p-zeroes. Shockingly fast for a what it is from a dig with launch control. Also seen the stock S6 hit sub 4.0 in good conditions as well.

[@LastOfGamers]

Try holding the ESC button for 3-5 seconds to fully switch off the stability control and get a better launch control!

[@CarExpertAus]

It wouldn't make a difference. In the ESR mode traction control is disabled and stability control only intervenes when the steering opposes the direction of the car.

[@Todd.T]

Nice cars, but these times are slow. The S6 doesn't stand a chance against against an S5, especially with a 40 minute tune? The RS6 times are within striking distance of any 2011-2018 3.0T with a dual pulley setup? Please consider getting a Dragy so we can see the DA, temp and altitude, because that can affect times a lot.

[@delantwine4081]

Cool review Why not have all 3 though? I wanna know what’s the difference between the a6 and s6 2022

Great comparison! Thx Paul. Both look great in the red colour. The S6 is more of a 'sleeper', with the difference in the real world between them is negligible (unless you're at the drag strip every weekend). One question, how is the ride comfort difference between the two? I looked at an RS4, but way too hard on Sydney roads (even in "Comfort" mode). I have a C7 S6 with the 4.0L TTV8. Toying whether it's worth the "upgrade" from my S6 to a current gen S6/S7. RS6 way out of my price range.

How did you go? Still have the V8 S6 or did you upgrade to the new S6? I just bought the new S6 upgrading from the A6 Biturbo TDI, which I still love. great Torque and great economy.
