Do you think the GT really ups the ante on this fast wagon? Or would you be just as happy with a regular RS 6 Performance? Let us know in the comments!

I love the Avus looking concave wheels.

[falconz]

I wish manufacturers would make more wagons in the states

[deanpicken]

Great review! Pity you can't order one (at least in Australia) I'll settle for my Performance when it arrives in the second half of this year..

The formula works in Europe, but here in the U.S its still niche marketing.

I wonder why the engineers didn’t bump up the specs 20-30hp like some manufactures do for the special editions? Probably because the people who buy these don’t care? Lolz

[Red_Yacht]

Ahh that’s nothing but a regular RS6 performance with a dumb paint job

[johnmeyer]

Agree with previous comment...way too expensive for a few tweaks n graphics. The regular RS6 Perf is a way better deal..although still expensive..n just as fast etc

[jasonbrody]

It sounds like a supercharger not turbocharger 😊

[GraveUypo]

it could fly, go underwater, make beer out of nothing, and cure cancer - a car for 200k is never a bargain.

[ragweedmakesmesneeze]

"Manually adjustable suspension?" Maybe I misheard that...onto the rest of the video now...nope, heard that right. Yeah, because if I spend 200k on a car, I definitely want to jack up my car every time I want to change the suspension settings.

[TheMoukis]

So instead of a wide body RS5 coupe GTO, you get an overpriced wagon. Audi is really full of morons.

[cjon]

way too overpriced for just a color change.

[billshoe]

Crazy overpriced. I don’t get why the only wagon options in the States are hundreds of thousands of dollars

How is this fly-bys made soooo slow?

Whole review feels like a man in a tank rumbling around parking lot

And i do not want to bring the production team down but whew, the pace is slow and unispiring
