**A Review of the Audi RS6 C6: A Powerful Engine with Some Quirks**

What we got nought to 60 in 4.2 seconds, that's insane! I'm going to timed it now, good choice guys, good choice. That is really impressive some pieces everywhere. Let's continue with the drive because oh my gosh, this thing is raw rapid, it's not as quick as their latest RS6, I'll do it in like three point four 3.5 seconds but for 2008 car, it's well fast and I love the way this engine puts down its power. You don't have the big Slugger talk of the latest twin turbo four-litre v8, it just builds path rates rev range and it loves to rev redline 7000 rpm, it's so nice so smooth, I like the sound of it as well though this v10 does sound better in the Lamborghini because it's got no turbo, so they can really really sing. But still, nice noise, nice smooth power, and it really does just shift like some kind of missile. Whoa, a log, oh it's so smooth, it's lovely and I'm getting eight point eight miles per gallon now because of that.

**Driving Experience: A Mix of Smoothness and Quirks**

Let's talk about the other aspects of the driving experience. Before does I'm gonna put the stability control all the way on for safety's sake and remove the gearbox spawn mode and into drive so it's like a kick down, so three two one kick on that, it's pretty responsive good hello now let's put it into manual mode and see how quickly it can change gears. Accelerating paddle shift, paddle shift, paddle shift is that not bad, not as fast as a dual clutch auto but good enough, I'm impressed with that. Let's try the brakes out on there do an emergency stop here we go, it's a greasy rose and the ABS is working out, but those brakes are strong, that's good to need that in a car that is this quick and is over two tons in weight.

**Steering: A Heavy Feeling**

Steering-wise, the steering feels a bit weird, so it's sort of heavy but in an artificial weird kinda way, it points the car exactly where you want it to go but doesn't feel great. Bit odd really, not a fan of it. Before the steering and the very latest RS6, another thing that I think's way better in the brand new car is the chassis, so I've got the suspension of sports mode and it's loving, I'm comfy you can feel the core shake and shimmy over any bump, and it's a necessarily hard feffy. It does stop the car leading in the corners which is good but it's not good over bumps at all. Put it to compensate, it's any better, I noticed it slacking off, but still, it feels a little bit brittle in fact when I've read reviews about this car, journalist wrote the fact that it felt brittle, it's a good metaphor as a result.

**Handling and Fun Factor: A Comparison with the Latest RS6**

You do get quite a few rattles and squeaks occasionally even though this is a low mileage car, and that's not so good. I don't know as much, another thing is the whole driving experience through corners wall it is pretty planted, it just doesn't feel playful, it just seems to just go round, he doesn't really matter what you're doing, and round town this car is OK apart from obviously the suspension having a bit of problem over potholes. It's quite an easy thing, you've got good visibility, it's comfortable in terms of the seats and the driving position, the manoeuvrability is alright as well. So if you need to do you turn and a mini roundabout, you can't, the turning circle isn't too big that's fine but once again, the steering does feel a little bit on the heavy side for a town work.

**Final Verdict: A Wonderful Engine with Some Quirks**

Well, there's a reason for that, the last car that I drove before this one was the brand new RS6 on its launch in the United States of America so it's really interesting to jump into this and in terms of performance, there is nothing really in it, this is what my on it, in fact, in some ways, I prefer this engine but the rest of the car really does feel like it's more than ten years older. And that's actually more of a testament to how much work out here's done to improve the drivability and feel and thumb factor of its latest RS models. So then what's my final verdict on the Audi RS6 C6? Well, the engine is absolutely wonderful, it's a reason to buy one of these cars, and it is generally very nice to drive. However, it does have some quirks, like the steering feeling heavy and the suspension not handling perfectly over bumps.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone I'm Matt Watson here from car wire and I want to take you back in time back to 2008 when the Audi rs6 had a 5 liter v10 with twin turbos also the BMW m5 had a 5 liter v10 a Mercedes e63 had a 6.2 liter v8 on the review this car obviously and to do that I'm a talk around exterior design meanwhat wide hips you have show you inside say it's better than me tell me what's good about it YUM what's not so good about it that's gonna hurt poke it with a stick I'll break my stick and of course take it for a test drive now before we get into all that please make sure you subscribe to this channel hit the bell icon to turn your notifications on so you're loaded when we make a new upload and if you into cars and car reviews click on the pop-up banner up there to download the new car Wow app it's even got a number plate recognition technology so you can scan a number plate of any kind the UK and he'll tell you how much it's worth right and let's kick off this review by talking about the design and you'll notice I have my trusty car my stick of truth here because the first thing I want to show you is this you've got the RS oval exhaust pipes but unlike the modern ones which have two other exhaust pipes in there this is good old-fashioned one single unit no fakery whatsoever I broke my stick damn it though I'm not sure that this diffuser actually does anything but it does look quite cool and obviously you have the badge at the back which says it is the rs6 it's quite interesting looking at the shape of this car compared to the latest rs6 which I've recently reviewed click up there towards the video by the way it's just round and smoother it's not quite so aggressive looking it just looks smarter and a little bit more under the radar when you've got the alloy wheels 19's standard so you could get 20s there's quite a bit of satin going on to brighten up the exterior the roof bars around the windows blacked out windows obviously to look a bit more badass there's some discreet side skirts and slightly bulging wheel arches submiss this though more sat in here on the door mirrors no black pack on this car that you get today to properly murder it out around the front you do new bumpers compared to the normal a six more aggressive more satin surround RS badging and vintage that's fake oh my god this is where it all began back in 2008 god damn it anyway I'm in a bit carried away here what I want you to do is click on the pop-out banner up there to vote do you think the rs6 was better when it was a bit more discrete like this 2008 model or do you prefer the way it's now gone more aggressive and quite obviously a performance car like the very latest one let me know here on the inside there are some RS upgrades over the standard a6 but yet again it just is a little bit more subtle the most obvious is the flat-bottom steering wheel which was quite unique back in the day it says rs6 on it as well you've also got some RS sport seats and they're electric and heat it but those are the most obvious things but there are some other upgrades such as these Mill door handles which feel lovely though they don't really stand out you do have already six on the sails as well but you don't notice them when you're driving the car nor the aluminium sports pedals there are rs6 stars though when I say autistic stars it says aura six on them and you do have some extra information like boost pressure from the turbos and oil temperature but the doors themselves do sort of look a little bit old because they remind me of the face of the robot in wall-e which incidentally came out in 2008 which was when this version of the rs6 the c6 was launched now when it first came out the infotainment system was pretty basic it runs on 2g mobile phone technology whoo in 2009 that graded it to have 3G mobile phone technology for a quicker connection looking at the graphics yes it's feeling pretty dated now but the rest of the cabin doesn't actually I think it's aged well definitely better than I have there's a picture of me from back in 2008 I do look a lot younger these last few years turning all these videos have taken their toll quite clearly and quality in here is good better than my face and what's this look at a sunroof right I can't see the Sun you can either on the open come on or shut you can't actually have the blind back and it's tiny which is a bit annoying consume this thing cause 80,000 pounds back in 2008 rather expensive then just like the current car which is 100,000 pounds here in the back you've got some more Ora seats quite nice rear seats actually terms of space it's about the same as a modern a4 so there one of the main selling points of the IDR a6 has always been the fact that you get supercar performance with family wagon practicalities big boot 565 litres which incidentally is the same capacity as the latest rs6 so in the past 11 years there's been no progress in the boot department now then it's time for the car why five annoying things about this car one of the problems with the Audi Quattro four-wheel drive system is that it pushes the engine quite far forward in the car as a result it hangs out over the front wheels so I'm stored at the very front of the engine I'm now going to move to the center of the wheels which is where the front axle is there can you see how far it's along that over the front now that does make it harder for this car to turn at higher speed so if you're on track you will experience quite a bit of understeer I would imagine thanks the depreciation on performance car such as this are reasonably affordable to buy but the reason they depreciate so much is because of the repair cost which can be quite a t-not for instance there's a seal in the oil pump in this car which can failed it's quite common actually part any cost 50 P but to repair it it's gonna cost well over a grand in fact some technicians want to take the whole engine out which means a job could cost 4,000 bloody pounds the latest rs6 has a very rear wheel drive buyers Quattro all-wheel drive system which can send up to 85 percent of the engines parts of the back wheels with this older version though it can only send up to 60% of the power to the rear wheels so it doesn't feel a sporty to drive the trip computer on this car says that it's averaging 18 points 7 miles per gallon and it hasn't really been driven particularly hard either yes I now understand why OD has been downsizing its latest this c6 version of the rs6 is a bit of a chubby bugger it weighs 2025 kilos so it's 75 kilos heavier than the brand new rs6 even though that car is packed full of way more safety kit it's not all negative though here's five good things about this car the rs6 has uprated brakes so you've got 390 millimeter this upfront 350 is it in the back that you count grade - common ceramics and then therefore 20 millimetres of the front and 12 kilograms lighter adjustable dampers are standard with comfort dynamic sports modes also the shock absorbers are linked in a diagonal pattern so when the congos are in the corner and leans the compressed shock absorber pushes all into the other one which levels it out keeps the car nice and flat oh yeah v10 loveliness ain't no sound enhancing going on here no no one of these old Ora sixes gives you a lot of horsepower for your money so a decent one will cost about twenty five thousand pounds this one is a mint up with less than twenty thousand miles on the clock when you're looking at around thirty five grand for this and for that you could go on car while and get a brand-new Audi s3 hatchback including discount now if you understand what you can save on any car click on the compact I'm up there to check out the best deals on car white the ultimate car comparison website look at this it's a five liter v10 from a Lamborghini only they're gonna slapped on two turbochargers as well as a result 580 horsepower which is 20 horsepower less than the current rs6 so we've only gained 20 horsepower in over 10 years hmm now if you want even more horsepower thousand pound upgrade to the ECU we'll get you seven hundred oh yeah I expect all of you would like to see me launch this old rs6 well quite frankly I don't think it's wise to do it it's an old car it wouldn't be fair on it it wouldn't I tell you what we're put to vote click on the pop-up banner over there to vote with you want me to do a launch time it see what it does naught 60 come on Cassie vote you don't it all right look what you said there's a surprise the majority of you or wanted to launch okay so here we go my specialist timing gear I'll just put it up yeah get the car into sports mode sports traction so Eddie says this thing should do naught to 60 in 4.6 seconds what they do you chose to do this if it breaks it your vault and blaming you okay oh it's quick very quick and it's excellent to putting its power down wow there we go that'll don't see what we got nought to 60 in 4.2 seconds that's insane I'm going to timed it now good choice guys good choice that is really impressive some pieces everywhere let's continue with the drive because oh my gosh this thing is raw rapid it's not as quick as their latest rs6 I'll do it in like three point four 3.5 seconds but for 2008 car it's well

super maneuverable and it's steering white change depending on what mode you're in and how fast you're going and it seems a little bit like a weird review that I'll keep on referring back to the brand new rs6 well there's a reason for that the last car that I drove before this one was the brand new rs6 on its launch in the United states of america so it's really interesting to jump into this and in
