The new Audi RS6 Avant actually looks completely different from its predecessor. For instance, take the charisma of it. The new one is aggressive, striking, emphasized and convincing, where the old one was more business-like, more a wolf in sheeps clothes, which can’t do 80% of the new RS6 Avants abilities. Despite the loss of two cylinders the performances only improved. The only drawback of t ...
