It gets compared to cars like the M3 and E63 that were designed to be brutes in many ways. With the RS6 I believe Audi perfectly decided to focus on comfort first with serious performance when you need it. I have no interest in carving canyons or accelerating faster than a Tesla Pwhatever but I do want it to feel great to sit in, drive in for long periods of time and when I need to push it to be able to hang with me no problem. It fulfills the asks so well that I am surprised every time I get back in it. Lovely car - just not designed to win Carwow’s tests, which is TOTALLY fine!!

^ This is exactly why we chose the RS6. Our use case for it is a fast, sporty, luxurious family hauler, and it fits that bill it extremely well. It’s not the fastest, but it is definitely fast enough. It’s not meant to hit the track either, we’ve got the other car for that

Came across a black RS6 on the way to the office and did a fun run, and the G80 pulled on it from a 60 roll more than I was expecting. Thought it was fun to share despite knowing they are different cars with different strengths.

If only the RS6/RS7 weighed about a thousand pounds less.
