A Class Leading Interior
Audi is well known for its world-class interiors and continues that streak here. For 2021 the RS6 carries RS sports seats wrapped in Valcona leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. Audi's MMI system has a 10.1-inch upper display for the infotainment interface and an 8.6-inch lower display for the climate controls and natural handwriting inputs. The instrument cluster also has a 12.3-inch HD display as an option for those that want a little something extra.

Twin-Turbo Madness
One of the most impressive aspects of the 2021 RS6 Avant has to be what lies beneath the hood. A twin-turbo V-8 delivers almost 600 horsepower (592 to be exact) and 590 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with an 8-speed transmission and this super wagon is good for 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph but if you opt for the ceramic brakes, Audi Sport will kindly lift the limiter to 190 mph.

The Badge of Honor
The much sought after badge of the RS6 is proudly displayed here on the hatch of this family accomodating missile. The RS6 Avant is accented by thick grey composite trim, giving the wagon a much sportier feel. 21-inch alloy wheels are standard, while Carbon Optic or Black Optic packages will supply you with a bigger set of 22-inch wheels and a blacked-out grille.
