Rear lower 3/4 just looks wrong... and the colour... my 16 week old daughter has been making that colour everyday, I still don't like looking at that colour on a car. Possible pick a worse colour? Nope, they nailed that one.

Awful colour. I saw this yesterday and was very interested as I had wanted to do this myself but would have cost too much as id have wanted an S6 saloon to start with and then an RS6 as a donor car but the cost was ridiculous and I didn't have the heart to tear up 2 good cars to make 1 car.
Looking at this one I'm kinda glad I didn't bother, there is something not quite right, I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't look as good as I'd expected.

Just stick to a S6 Saloon with RS6 turbos on a Stage 2 map for a fairly discreet looking car with 730hp.

I imagine that's what it is? A tuned S6 with the RS6 bodykit, which is now easy to get as there are replica parts on the market now. The owner is pretty cool though, he modifies some seriously expensive cars and i like what he has done to his 911 and Gallardo.

The colour is Mocha from the Audi Exclusive palette. One of those things where, just because it is rare means it 'must' be cool, yet if you saw the same colour on an old Lada you would rightly say it looks disgusting!

I have heard a sound clip of it however and it is the best sounding 'RS6' i've heard.

So its not the 1st rs6 saloon then? Its the first (and that is debatable) S6 widebody. Unless it has an engine transplant its not an rs6 in my mind. Not that it really matters, it is what it is. Maybe in a nicer colour it will look better.

I think the colour works ok. Like the black contrast on the beige.

The pyschology is funny. People love Audi estates, to the point where Audi didn't bother making the saloon RS6. Now, a saloon is suddenly attractive because it is unobtainable! We can be a fickle bunch.

I dont love audi Estates. I want a saloon as do loads of other people, but audi insist on making RSs in every conceivable shape other than a saloon. I only have an estate after waiting for a B8 saloon that didnt arrive, then C7 saloon that didnt arrive, then the rs3 saloon that didnt arrive, then gave up waiting and reluctantly bought an estate after seriously considering making a C7 saloon.
