Eight cylinders, 450hp and five-figure mileage for a smidgen over £10k. Where do we sign?
You may have noticed recently that Audi’s changing the way it names its cars. Again. The e-tron electric SUV merged with the Q8 last year because the company’s EV line-up was all over the place, and more recently the German car giant decided that all electrified cars should be even numbers while the odds go to the combustion cars. That means the conventional A4 now becomes the A5, while the recently-revealed A6 will now be powered exclusively by batteries.
See, every generation of RS6 has always been over-engined, whether that be twin-turbocharged V8s with over 600hp or an enormous V10. It’s a formula that the very first RS6, much like, set out so brilliantly that it’s been closely adhered to ever since. And golly, was it effective. A twin-turbo V8 churning out 450hp is punchy by any standards, but we’re talking about a four-door family saloon with more grunt than the equivalent Porsche 911 Turbo.
