This 1,100 HP Audi RS6 Is The Undisputed King Of All Wagons
Image: Collecting Cars
There’s a fine line between driving a sleeper and insanity. This matte black monster of a 2020 Audi RS6 Avant is more than a few toes over that line, delivering 1,100 horsepower of all-wheel drive with fire-spitting big-turbo fury. The turbos are so frickin’ big that they pop right out of the hood, and the exhaust dumps out right there in front of the passenger. The people who built this refined German longroof with secret speed into a kaiju-fighting mecha left that line behind miles ago. Some of the car’s previously invisible vitesse is leaking out, but maybe that makes it all the better.
FIRST DRIVE IN THE AUDI RS6 C8 1100 BHP!! *NEW OWNER*
On the inside, this Audi looks just as refined and comfortable as the RS6 was from the factory. It doesn’t appear to have been modified inside at all. If you can afford the fuel to feed a 4-liter V8 and its pair of Garrett G25 turbochargers, this car should comfortably (if not quietly) shove you and a quartet of passengers through the countryside with incredible — and likely-unmatched — pace.

On the outside, you can tell that the car packs a bit more punch than the standard already-quick 621 horsepower wagon it’s based on. The satin black wrap, 22-inch Vossen wheels, and carbon fiber bodykit could theoretically have been fitted to any old RS6 Avant out there.

In order to get the car up to its massive horsepower number, however, someone had to attack the hood with a zip wheel. There’s a pair of holes to clear the massive intercooler pipes and the massive turbos, and behind that you’ll find four more holes, two to vent excess turbine pressure, and two to fart the exhaust directly into the atmosphere. It’s a strange way to go about keeping your windshield warm on cold days, that’s for sure.

Open that hole-ridden hood and you’ll see what exactly is going on here. Would you look at that! Turbo big! Car go braap! Whoosh! Nyoom!
If this is the kind of monster wagon you could see yourself draggin’ around, it’s up for sale in the UK on Collecting Cars. You probably won’t be able to import this one to the U.S. as it’s a right-hand drive model, and it’s definitely no longer compliant with EPA emissions laws, but it’s a good excuse to buy a house in London or the Cotswolds or whatever. There are only 11,549 miles on this machine, so you can probably just keep driving it for as long as you can afford the gasoline and methanol.
