The Audi RS 6 is perhaps regarded as the ultimate sleeper vehicle. Historically it has been a car that can take its driver from say, being a lawyer, to needing legal representation in all of 3.7 seconds. An update on the RS6 Avant is due in mid-2020 as we reported late last year and brings with it some new styling, technology and the ability to get you to 100 km/h even quicker.
What is even crazier to think about is that this sensible, practical, unsuspecting family wagon is more powerful than the company's flagship R8 supercar!

A new RS6 is a big deal as the vehicle is one of the most memorable Audis in recent history (we can't forget the Quattro) behind the R8 (which will be getting a facelift in 2020). Oliver Hoffman, Managing director of Audi Sport, said as much when the vehicle was announced, stating, "Throughout our 25-year RS history, the Audi RS 6 Avant is one of our absolute icons with a large global fan base."

Where do we start?
We currently have the BMW 330i Touring on a test and the practicality of the wagon is growing on me, and in my eyes, they don't look half bad either. The RS6 Avant sleeper takes the wagon to the next level, giving you the ability to take the kids to school, but also delight your inner speed-freak.
Can you imagine matching a Mercedes-Benz GT R to 100 km/h while having baby seats in the back? Insane.
We look forward to bringing you more updates about the new RS6 Avant as they come out.
The Audi RS 6 Avant is set to touchdown in Australian showrooms from 24th July, 2020. Audi have also announced that pricing will start from $216,000 for this 441kW weapon.
