Thanks to both Mikes, I don't see why the car has to getting wider with every iteration, though I guess 7.5mm each side will make little difference even in tight parking spaces.

It's standard practice that each iteration of any car has to have more legroom / boot space / head room than the previous generation. This means that each generation increases in size.

A really good watch I thought, but always liked Catchpole back when he wrote for Evo mag. The reviews seem promising and seem to indicate it handles really well despite a slight weight increase.

Red does indeed look good, to be honest I think I the whole car looks awesome, just wish I could afford one!

The reviews are encouraging but there's plenty of mention about the width of the car being (presumably) 80cms wider than the normal C8. Does anyone know how it compares to the RS6 C7? I live in Devon and struggle in some areas already, if anyone has the data I would be grateful.
Looks to be about 60mm wider than the normal A6 C8 - had me worried as 80CM, holy cow that would take up both sides of the road round here too!

First review I’ve seen of a black one with the black pack and should look similar to mine when it turns up. Not sure if the review is on a Sebring black one though as it looks like a Mythos black to me. It certainly doesn’t look slow.......
Current:
2024 R8 - Daytona Grey
2023 Mercedes G63 AMG
2022 SQ5 - Grey

Most recent Audi
2020 RS6 Vorsprung - Sebring Black
2017 RS6 Performance - Ascari Blue
