Thanks for watching!

I must be getting old, cause these big powerful wagons are beginning to excite me more than most supercars

[benjaminsmith]

Bring back wagons. These things are so much more appealing to my eye than any crossover. I don't care if it is a lesser-performance one, I just like this format so much. Looks like an Audi inside and out and it is quite quiet at speed. Great machine.

Nobody can do POV better than TheTopher. Nice work as always!

[markremington]

Audi RS styling has the perfect balance of sport and luxury in my opinion....better than any other lineup. Gorgeous cars.

[kristians]

Fast wagons are the best overall cars on the market. This, E63s and Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.

[TheFutbolLover]

A dream daily driver for me. I'd get the blue paint instead, regardless of color an overall fantastic car.

[maxmorris]

Audi have nailed it, one of the most beautiful cars I've seen that interior is gorgeous

[bkhavityoway]

The 0-60 is literally insane. I mean the whole car is just insane.

[toyotavenzaguy]

Amazing, those 22’s are really nice. Love the sound from that 4.0L V8.

[Speedy]

Still don’t get how people love massive wheels, the rest is ✨perfect✨

[gamerjuice._.]

the rs6 has been a dream car of mine for years now

[markc]

I told my wife that this is the only way we'll have another baby. My two-year-old is a monster. This is the ultimate Dad mobile.

Imagine “hey honey, wanna sell that old rav4 of yours and get a wagon instead ? Even more room in the back and it’s kinda fun to drive .”
“How much ? It’s only $100k more than what we paid for the rav4”
At that moment, she knows you are up for no good..

[shaiheimmcrae]

@18:58 Apparently you can spec the car out without the air suspension which makes it a bit more of a stiffer drive. Carfection talked about that in their video and they preferred the stiffer suspension

[stevenivet]

Best ride on the market today. RS6 rules.

[anmolgoel]

The gauges on the RS mode remind me of the Lamborghini Reventon.

[seabass]

My Gosh Topher, I’ve been waiting so long for this!

[ARentz]

It's funny how a lot of modern DCTs have exceptionally smooth shifts, whereas many modern torque converter autos have some engineered shift shock to make them feel sporty.

[donovan]

I saw one in my city of Raleigh, NC. I was like...😍😍😍

If I remember correctly, that rear seat climate system is not haptic touch. It just merely makes a quick sound when you contact the screen.
