RS6 Performance Review (47mins!)

[MikeFish]

I found this very long review by Autogefuhl (in English). I hadn't seen it before or recall anyone posting it here so here ya go:



I haven't watched it all yet though!

Good find, lots of detail, I had not appreciated the click quality of the climate buttons before! I would have liked to see the boost guage flashing red as a non PE driver. Seems even ze Germans can't stop fly tipping in industrial estates. Nice carbon touch on the engine cover, presume this is a PE upgrade? Think he got extended aerial mixed up with wireless charging, or perhaps it does have wireless charging and that's why the extended aerial does FA!

Carbon engine cover was an optional extra on the non Perfomance version too.

The latest MY has wireless charging along with Apple CarPlay.

Does the upgrade include touch screen? CarPlay is going to be a bit crapola without it.

Nope. It'all MMI/Touchpad driven, which is kind of understandable given the age of the C7's system.

However, if VW can offer touch screen as standard in all their cars, it takes the piss that Audi can't offer it in their new generation cars such as the Q7, A4 and the TT.

When I was looking at Q7's, testing carplay felt very very slow & clunky indeed compared to my other half's Golf.

Aye, same for the new PCM. And the PCM in the new panamera takes things on again.

Yeah, reckon the Panamera will be the RS6's replacement in a few years. Will be interesting to see what the estate will look like (if the rumours are true they are doing one).
