You may find this useful. More old school car review than the usual top gear style we've become use to on
YouTube.

Bit different as you say, more of a proper road test video, however I got bored after watching the same video clips repeated over and over again! Few mistakes, its a 4.0 not a 4.2, and is it really built in Hungary?

Despite wanting to hate the guy, I quite like his reviews
Sure, it's a little other enthusiastic at times (he reminds me a lot of the sort of person I go at great lengths to avoid at social occasions) and it's not always 100% factually accurate, but you can't argue that he doesn't cover everything and then some
I think if you wanted to get an idea of the intricacies of an RS6 without going to a dealer, then you won't find anything more comprehensive than that
Yes, boring, but then often 'informative' is boring

Ahhh, the twin peaks of information and retention:
Informative + boring = easily forgotten
Bullet points + entertaining = readily absorbed

I agree in part, as in the normal context of a 'presentation' or a 'visual informative' would generally be given to an audience without interest, who need to be engaged to absorb
However, people who are looking up RS6 reviews are generally looking for information and detail
In that respect, captain boring in his baggy chinos and slightly demonic smirk delivers in spades over something like 'hooligan tyre smoke' clarkson or 'if it don't drift = it's sh1t' Harris
