"this tune, this package is not simply turning up juice unnecessarily. It's actually giving you a better version of what the RS6 is."

Performance

4.5/513 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

this is probably one of the fastest normal cars probably one of the fastest cars we've been in period

positive · Savagegeese · ▶ 29:03

oh my God this thing is so fast

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 6:41

I can't emphasize to you how elastic this motor is. I mean, having 630 horsepower, nearly 630 pound-feet of torque, as well, means there's a lot of performance to manage.

Handling

4.0/513 of 13 reviewersconsensus

this Quattro all-wheel drive system is Sensational it's Sensational at making the car feel very very poised

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 6:55

having a bit of negative camber and having adjustable and by the way, manually adjustable coil overs... that means this thing doesn't just go down the straight really quickly, but it also has tons of mechanical grip.

positive · PistonHeads · ▶ 10:30

this adaptive air suspension is doing a really nice job keeping things stiff and well sorted around corners it's predictable planted

positive · A Auto Buyers Guide · ▶ 34:11

I'm having so much fun. I can't believe I can't believe this is what what you can buy anymore.

positive · Tedward · ▶ 23:19

I've been using every excuse I possibly can this week to get behind the wheel, even if it's just going 2 miles down the street to the grocery store.

Daily drivability

4.5/513 of 13 reviewersconsensus

it can go to full luxury ride quality and then go into something that has like autobahn speed body control

positive · Savagegeese · ▶ 30:17

it's been a fantastic daily driver incredibly comfortable incredibly usable

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 0:18

It's also tremendously smooth there's no jerkiness the transmission doesn't do any of that stuff it is really really a smooth ride.

Value

It's very expensive and right now they're trading well over the sticker price.

critical · Doug DeMuro · ▶ 27:06

my dream two-car garage, it costs well, 177,000 pounds over there

PistonHeads · ▶ 13:16

almost $130,000 is the base price of the ultimate Wagon in North America so clearly this is not the wagon for everybody
