Finished wonderfully with Carbon, leather and Alcantara awash in
the cabin, this is a classic scheme of paint and leather options.
Everything from the crested seats and dials to the kick plates and
steering wheel are all heavily branded with RS livery. And the way
the car is screwed together comes from an era when build quality
standards were ahead of today, it feels personalized.

The C5 RS6
Truly an amazing car, labeled a future classic by some, adored by
it's owners, and destined to be another classic collectable car
from Audi. Prior to this model launch there were only two other cars
to bear the Audi RS name and they were a niche within a niche, selling
pathetic numbers. The RS6 was the platform for mainstream RS models
being strategically marketed, and was in many ways a blueprint for
future power plants in larger high-performance road cars, the engine
technology was ahead of its time, a defining moment for the brand.
The years have not blunted the accessible performance, it is super
fast whilst maintaining total composure at any speed and supremely
comfortable, even by todays standards there are few new cars that
can eclipse this model as a package. The penny has been dropping in
the last 18 months and the values are rising for sensible mileage
examples with proper records, however that is for the right car as
there is a bit of knowledge required as an ownership proposition and
several boxes must be ticked pre purchase.

The Drive
The RS6 compact wide body subtly underplays its remarkable performance
potential. A compact 4.2-litre eight-cylinder twin turbo charged
powerhouse that delivers a peak output of 450bhp. Zero to 62mph
acceleration dispatched in 4.7 seconds, onto an electronically-limited
top speed of 155mph. Performance is thrilling whether highway or
winding back roads, with all wheel-drive traction and a whole raft of
electronic safety measures, its effortlessly secure, a combination of
big power, damp roads and an enthusiastic approach wont phase it at
all. However its far from just being a one-dimensional car, it provides
a comfortable and functional cockpit, fine-quality materials and upscale
conveniences that make it among the most highly appointed & luxurious
sports tourers for the road. Its trump card for me is its adaptability,
it sounds utterly fantastic, and when the weather turns foul its has
tractional qualities that are truly inspiring for a driver.

Suspension
The standard DRC suspension keeps failing and costs fortunes to fix, and
then it will break again. As a result a popular enhancement is to replace
with coilovers to give total reliability and a supreme ride. B14 Bilstein
suspension has been fitted as pictured in the gallery, it gives peace of
mind.

Exterior Condition
The original condition and new car shine set this car firmly apart from
what you glance at in the traffic jam. It is detailed to the highest of
standards with zero blemishes or chips worth comment. Safe to say this
example will satisfy even the fussiest of tastes and is of as high a
standard that any used car could ever hope to be in. The wheels are also
in first class order inkeeping with the standards set elsewhere and this
is very much an enthusiasts car in pampered condition. The previous owner
was very much into detailing.

Alloys/Tyres
Thankfully this one has the correct 18" factory alloys and not the larger
cast 19s that do look good though utterly ruin the feel and handling of the
car. The model is very sensitive to alloy changes and equally to wrong
tyre choice. Michelin Pilot Super Sports on each corner and they are as
new and are the definitive tyre for the car.

Summary
A genuinely outstanding pampered car that looks magnificent, smooth,
supercar rapid when prodded, stylish and luxurious all set to a glorious
V8 soundtrack. Over the next few years however, as the number of original
RS6s on the road continues to dwindle, values will start to rise - so
buying a top example now could prove a good long-term investment. And
when the mood takes you, and those roads are quiet, Audi's genre-defining
RS6 Avant delivers a blast from the past that still has most contemporary
rivals outclassed.
