The RS6 Avant out-weighs the Mercedes wagon. On Car and Driver’s scales, a pre-facelift Mercedes-AMG E 63 S weighed 4697 pounds, while Audi’s wagon weighed 5031 pounds.
https://www.motorbiscuit.com/which-i...es-amg-e-63-s/ Literally every source besides the video confirms the RS6 is 5000 lbs. 900 lbs heavier, video is wrong |

Wish the M3 touring was coming to the US though. Great comparo but really the only enthusiast car you can take skiing up to the mountains with a family and all the luggage is the RS6 Avant (aside from the E63). I saw one up in VT a few weeks ago with a ski box and it was gooooorgeous. It isn’t always about the straight line acceleration!

S58 is no joke. Absolute monster powertrain and hooked up to MXDrive…it’s impressive! My M4 woudl just pull pull pull!
RS6 is a beast but the ‘class below’ just scalped it somewhat.

If you want an authoritative side by side write up, then the latest EVO has a great comparative feature on these two. The M3 impresses them the most for its level of dynamism and engagement, unsurprisingly.
It's just a pity that, as the Carwow sound check shows, these models in Europe are really suffering now: the M3 is sounding almost reedy and the RS6 has the soft limiter which restricts you in real-world terms to throttle blips and a lowdown grumble.

Not so sure the RS6 is the only “car” that can take a family skiing. This is the main reason for ditching my F82 and grabbing a G80. Better Winter driving Fun |

The results are exactly as expected given the two cars have pretty much the same power-to-weight ratio (yes, the real-world weight of the RS6 is closer to 5,000lb). From a dig, it all boils down to which car gets the better launch. Once rolling, they are evenly matched. That S58 is the benchmark in its class and it shows. These are however very different cars, with the Audi being a much more luxurious, roomy and cushy ride. It does what it is intended to do extremely well while looking the business. The G81 is the only G8X I would consider, it looks quite decent from the rear 3/4 view, but sadly it is not available on this continent.

I suppose it’s the “only” enthusiast car I would buy for skiing haha. The G80 is too small even with a ski rack for all the ski gear and luggage, at least for my family of 4 but is an awesome ride indeed. I wouldn’t take my F90 M5C and have been taking the ‘23 X7 up to VT but I need to get a ski box for that also. Thought I might pick up an RS6 Avant for my winter car. First world problems.

I remembered to see this review, this explains a lot!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxVwnMFmq0 RS6 is at 270hp/ton and M5c is at 340hp/ton. Another league i would say. |
