Audi RS6 leaked...possibly coming to Merica

[Mook]

https://www.motor1.com/news/366159/audi-rs6-avant-debuts-america/

Power comes from a twin-turbocharged, hybridized 4.0-liter V8 that produces 591 horsepower (441 kilowatts) and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque. That makes the RS6 Avant the most powerful iteration to date (before package options, of course). The Audi's electrified oomph travels through an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission to all four wheels via a full-time Quattro all-wheel-drive system. To 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) it takes the RS6 Avant a blistering 3.6 seconds. Top is limited to 155 mph (250 kmh).

Man, if this comes to the states...I can wait for the used market.

 

[Mook]

Sounds like the official announcement is sometime tonight.

 

[Mook]

Holy shit the RS6 is officially coming stateside!

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I am surprised. But I am totally for it!

I hope they sell a lot of them. So there are plenty to pick from in the second-hand market. lol

Lol. Junk. Sweet wagon. Will be overpriced and the M5 will run circles around it.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

There's an M5 wagon?

 

[Turk]

There's an M5 wagon?

No. They realize that anybody willing to spend 120k on a car isn’t the same person looking to buy a station wagon. That’s why they also make M SUVs which will likely outperform this “avant”.

 

[FESTER665]

I really like that! Way out of my broke ass price range but would drive it in a heartbeat!

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Love the look of that

Sweet input bro

 

[01Cobra]

I support this.

 

[J-LO]

I love these. now i got to get the wife to want it for herself LOL

 

[dberz94]

I really hope they market these like crazy. I really don't want it to be a Chevy SS type venture (I love it don't get me wrong) where it wasn't marketed, priced higher than necessary, and underbought.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

This is amazing! My uncle bought a RS5 this year and it’s one of the best cars I’ve ridden in.

 

[Mook]

Lol. Junk. Sweet wagon. Will be overpriced and the M5 will run circles around it.

You're right, no one cares about it.

Everyone: ZOMG its a wagen I fucking love performance wagens!!! This is the coolest fucking thing since the 3800!

Also everyone: Not buying it

 

[Mook]

If the used market is anything like every other audi, it will be affordable within two years.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Whats affordable? This thing will easily be well over 100k and probably still be 75k+ when its 2 years old.

 

[Mook]

Affordable is different for everyone. Since A LOT of folks have waiting for this to finally happen, it might keep prices high. But again, its Audi so maybe it will tank. Will depend on how well they market this thing and how much dealers dont fuck it all up....like GM usually does.

With how many people seem to nut themselves for performance wagons, you'd think this would almost just sell itself!

My bet is that it wont sell for shit and then a few years after its discontinued, the prices will stay high because then everyone realizes wagons are super cool for some reason.

 

[Mook]

If it sells like shit, it will be because Audi marketed it like shit and priced is obnoxiously.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Or because nobody REALLY wants a wagon. It's just cool to say you do...lol

 

[Mook]

I want one. I've wanted Audi to bring their wagons over for a long time. I'm just too poor to afford one right now
