New Audi RS6! The Most Overrated Car in the World?

The 592 BHP #Supercar Estate! 25 Years of Audi Sport all leads to this, the modern Quattro icon. It’s the one car even non-car guys know, and its also finally available in the USA!
Today we check out the history, underpinnings of the new car, sound of the #RS6 and then go for the full drive where some questions must be answered: While Undoubtedly the best looking estate in the world, can it stack up to the brutal rivals from AMG and M, or even threat from it’s own little brother RS4?!
The icon of #Audi Sport, it naturally has history that goes back to the first RS named car, which was the Audi 80 RS2. A Porsche tuned car using Audi’s most powerful 5 cylinder engine to produce more power, sports suspension, braking systems, wheels and tyres - it was a car that was tested as doing 0-30 MPH at 1.5 seconds, which was faster than the McLaren F1!
So the legend of RS and the fast Audi Estate began, carrying through to today’s car. We will take a brief look at each one leading to today’s C8, from the first RS6 C5 with cosworth V8, C6 Lambo V10 and C7 predecessor returning to the V8 roots.
As for today’s car, the design is a huge factor. Igorning the front doors, the roof and the luggage compartment cover, all body parts are RS6 specific. The wheel arches, the best part, are flared by 1.6 inches!! It also gets A7 Lights! Exclusively within the A6 family.
Performance is big: 592BHP, 800NM and 0-60 3.6 seconds via the TFSI V8 Turbo. It has larger twin scrolls with greater boost pressure giving 40 more BHP than before. All going to a Permanent Quattro all wheel drive with a 40-60 standard split, which can go up to 70-30 or 15-85. It’s also complimented by a Mild hybrid 48v system.
Though, I’m more interested how it fares VS Rivals. It’s heavier by 80KG and slower, and down on power. Undoubtedly the best looking, but can it keep up in other areas? Today we explore:
- History of the RS6 and Audi Sport
- Audi RS2 built with Porsche
- RS6 C5
- RS6 C6
- RS6 C7
- New RS 6 C8
- RS6 Performance and Engine
- Exterior design
- Normal A6 vs RS6 body
- Chassis and RS Suspension - Air or RS sport suspension plus, Rear axle steering
- 48v system
- RS6 VS E63S estate
- RS6 Interior and MMI system
- Exhaust sound
- Full performance review
- Engine sound
- Conclusion

I've been trying to work out why you don't have more subscribers. Your videos are interesting, well put together and you're likeable. The cars you present are cool. Your approach is objective and you add subjectivity when you see fit. Plus you have access to a closed road. Seems like a winning combo. It came to me just before I watched this video. I thought, 'I'll watch it later when I'm a bit more settled'. I think you should keep doing what you're doing, but add short videos which are less of a commitment for the viewer. Something unique that'll draw more attention to your channel in a bite sized chunk. Hope that vague idea helps!

I'm extremely late in discovering RBR, so I'm binging old episodes as fast as possible. And I can definitely say that I'd love to have the ability to purchase a proper estate. It's a shame that our choices in America (I'm in California) are mainly SUV's. I wish that more Americans would embrace the idea of proper estates, especially when car manufacturers are putting something this beautiful out in the world. Our choices are so limited when trying to find something that I'd love to see in my driveway every day. I really hope we get more options in the future

As a total package, it’s still the undisputed winner of the bracket for me. I own the C7 RS6 Performance and aim to upgrade to the C8 Performance in 2022.

Dude, your historical references and comparisons are amazingly done. To have them switch back and forth like that is exactly how every other car reviewers should do it. This gives you a better sense of scale of each variation. I agree with your assertion of the rolly Polly SUV's they are just a waste of space and material in every way. If you are going to get an SUV then get a Toyota land Cruiser ;) Wagon's are so 1970's here in the U.S. Volkswagen made a Passat wagon but they never quite took off. VolVo for years has made a wagon but again it was in a very niche category of 6 figure incomes and 3 kids and they were just butt fugly. I thought Ford's Flex Wagon was neat but I think they went overboard with it's size and to me it screams too much money although they are fairly priced. So they over categorized the vehicle and placed it in the size range of an Explorer or a small tug boat. Let's talk about the tech in these cars. absolutely horrible, disgusting attempts to merge tech with a car. I understand that you are limited on space but everything needs to be on a single pane of glass meaning every control should be accessible there on the front screen. This maddening going back and forth pressing virtual buttons to have the damn display slide menus around is like playing those puzzles that you slide a single title around. Just maddeningly stupid. Then try doing that while you are driving and you have distracted driver overload. Did I mention finger prints? ugg just more silliness. Bring back the damn buttons and knobs! Let's get on to the car itself. Yes the sound is disappointing, If I am buying a sports wagon to me it's not a big deal. The power is there. Granted for 130k you would like to hear pops and gurgle's. Aftermarket is where you should be so don't opt for the sports exhaust, for the money you are going to spend on one go get an aftermarket one. Money better spent. Sometimes cars are just too uncouth with their exhaust sounds so there is a fine line between common decency and obnoxiousness. The cargo room is amazing and the automatic rear door along with the fact you can lower the back seats from pulling handles from the rear is very nicely done This is a car that does it well with looks, power and cargo hauling capacity.

interesting to hear it has larger turbos. Reason its low on power is so they can add performance mod later and add cost.

I love the clickbait..... so is the RS6 overrated? You never concluded? You said that the 0-60 times were going backwards but Audi are always very conservative. You should know this? As a daily driver of the RS6 from C6, C7 and now a C8, the bummer is the OPF exhaust deadeners. Mercedes have ignored this for 2019/20, so no wonder it sounds better that the C8. Lets wait until next year to see when Merc actually have to comply too? Btw forget the RS4, it's even more dumbed down that the last B8 version, V6 engine, quieter, less tech etc. Also, the rising B&O sound system tweeters are a £3k option - only available in the Audi Press car for some reason.

[@CapnT87]

The exhaust tone, while muted, is worlds better than the latest E63 and M5 which is why out of the three I'm shopping for the RS6 even though it's the slowest by a fair margin.

[@shepardman993]

I’m just not sold on it...... M5 Comp or E63s just excites me more

[@pr-tj5by]

shepard man, M5 is N/A for me having a Rottweiler and I just don't like the E63s design.

[@shepardman993]

@@pr-tj5by don’t get me wrong I like think it’s a touch over rated Personally I the the RS6 needs more power I’m a bit greedy lol I’ve got a German shepard so I understand where ur coming from

[@pr-tj5by]

@@shepardman993Lovely dog, It's a shame cos as you said it's a better drive, the extra speed won't be noticed in the real world but it's got a bigger boot, however that's the main reason I don't like the shape, I like the huge infotainment cluster also but it's the only part of the interior I prefer over the Audi Horses for courses I think

[@deanstephens2876]

By far the best reviews on you tube.

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Considering the review from Throttle House where the guys demonstrate how easy it is to tune to over 700hp, Audi have no excuse at all for not giving this car even only 20 more horses. It's been said that a sportier RS6 is coming, but there's no sight of it yet, so what's going on with Audi?

C7 is the goat

[@markramsay6399]

Fabulous video ! Mark. OK - so I had a C7 Litchfield RS6 for a few years, 730 BHP, and did over 100,000 miles. In 2022 I changed for a RS5. The RS5 is OK - but just not doing it for me. So about to change back to a 2022 RS6 again. Just want that V8 joy for another few years before the crazy world goes all EV. Looking to get an upgrade done by QSTuning soon afterwards (unless Litchfield are comfortable they can deal with the locked ECU).

I legitimately laughed out LOUD at the windows 95 welcome scream…😂😂😂 “WELCOME”😂

[@jagjourdan]

I reckon they’ve purposely underpowered it to entice people to buy the RS6 performance when it comes out. The previous gen RS6 performance had more power than this.

"can't see what's behind you" while referring to the front badge.... That's cause you don't need to see the rings. And let's be real... You'll be looking at the rear badge in short order 😉

[@georgerobinson4644]

good review!

[@koruki]

I honestly have no idea I should buy this to replace the C7. They didn’t even make it faster like the M5 or E63S but this came out the latest. I’m just confused wtf Audi is doing. It also doesn’t offer RWD mode like the two rivals.

[@stefannikolic4272]

Remove before racing please do a review of the rs6 c7 facelift. I can bet you will like it

[@gottliebdee263]

Wouldn't buy one. But EXTREMELY nice car to have. Good looks, (if not getting a bit cartoonish now), fast and no doubt a competent handler with space and a few niceties and conveniences. Most over rated? Absolutely not and I don't know what is but the RS6 very likely deserves most of the accolades applied to it. Pick of the range for me is the C7.

[@murphbhoy1979]

Sounds better in dynamic mode 👌

It looks good though 🤌 In car industry good looks always wins. I would pick the E63 anyways.

[@pr-tj5by]

Tomas, I just don't like the design.

[@yeagerist2486]

We need the rs6 performance to come out

[@Chris-jt4ux]

Has it even been confirmed.

[@yeagerist2486]

@@Chris-jt4ux it’s very likely that it will come out in over a years time as the old rs6 c7 performance was a huge success for Audi

[@saxongroove5898]

Nicely presented review. I agree with you.

[@stephencollins7714]

Great review. Nice to see someone who is not just interested in drag racing cars. I think VW has a balancing act on its hands that other manufacturers do not because they have to respect the product hierarchy so Lambo and Porsche need to be faster than Audi and Audi needs to be faster that Seat, VW and Skoda. In reality though and as you stated, in isolation, the RS6 will never feel slow or underpowered. Fit an aftermarket exhaust and you have the consummate allrounder. The styling of this car is however in a league of its own, Audi nailed that.

[@YounesLayachi]

8:00 Audi 0-100 numbers are always very conservative, by as much of 0.5 seconds coincidentally...

[@An.Individual]

That is because Audi/manufacturers quote times with no rollout and youtubers include rollout. Just 1ft of rollout equates to 0.3 secs less

[@nikolajnb3774]

@@An.Individual what does rollout mean?
