For you tube links you only need the actual video number not the full address. I have edited it in the quote here to show up properly.

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.

Wikipedia says the C7 RS6 was 1986mm wide (doesn't state if this is with or without mirrors) and the C8 is 1951mm without the mirrors and 2120mm with mirrors.

Top gear website says C7 was 2086 with mirrors.
