#Rad wagon 4 manual
It is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 linked to a six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential, and it is finished in School Bus Yellow over Charcoal Black cloth. They're fine.This 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca is one of approximately 747 Laguna Seca coupes produced for the model year and was originally delivered to Plantation Ford in Florida. Those brakes are also hella expensive ($9,000!), so I'd just as well stick with the standard discs. The steering is a little light for my tastes but not bad overall, however I do find the optional carbon-ceramic brakes somewhat fussy and hard to modulate. The former shuffles power between the rear wheels for better back-end bias, while the latter seemingly shortens the RS6's long wheelbase, giving it impressive agility around tight corners. It's things like the standard torque-vectoring rear differential and rear-axle steering that make the RS6 Avant so damn dreamy to drive. With standard all-wheel drive, Audi claims a 3.6-second 0-to-60-mph time for this large lad, and if you've got a runway long enough, the RS6 will top out at 190 mph.Įven so, it isn't the straight-line speed that'll impress you. The eight-speed automatic transmission quickly and seamlessly works its magic, and the steering wheel-mounted shifters offer refreshingly immediate responses, even if the paddles themselves are small and lame. Not that you would (or should) go easy on it, considering this wagon totally slaps. You have to add a $2,250 driver-assistance package to get things like adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist and traffic sign recognition - things that are included on $30,000 crossovers - though this pack does include Audi's Intersection Assist (so you don't hit someone while turning left) and Pre-Sense system that helps to better distribute energy in a crash.

However, I'll continue to harp on Audi for not making the full roster of safety tech standard equipment.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto? You got 'em - and wirelessly, too.Īudi's driver-assistance game is strong, with all the technologies you could want short of an actual Level 2 partially hands-free system like General Motors' Super Cruise. The latter even turns into a handwriting pad for easy-peasy destination input or online search, and the system is generally quick to respond with properly calibrated haptic response that gives you the impression of 'pushing' the screen. The dual-screen center stack arrangement displays Audi's latest MMI software, with traditional multimedia/infotainment duties up top and a screen for climate and other vehicle controls below. Rear-seat passengers have plenty of space, too, and there's 30 cubic feet of storage space behind 'em, which nearly doubles if you fold the back bench flat. The RS-specific seats are equal parts plush and supportive, and every surface you touch befits this wagon's six-figure price tag. Handsome lines and high-quality materials give a premium aura while three large screens bring a techy edge to the RS6's interior. Passenger accommodations are similarly appealing, especially done up in my test car's cognac leather (which requires the addition of the $2,500 Executive package for some reason). The RS6's standard silver trim is way more appealing to my eye. I'm not normally a red-car guy, but this Tango Red hue really works on the RS6, though I'm not sure I'd spring for the $6,350 Carbon Optic package pictured here or even the less expensive $2,450 Black Optic get-up. Those optional 22-inch wheels are almost comically oversized, and they give the Avant a super athletic stance on the road.

Nothing's changed since the wagon first debuted in 2019, but it still looks fresh as a daisy. This is one time when I encourage you to judge a book by its cover the Audi RS6 Avant looks good.
