Audi does tend to veer towards the understated look on most of its S and RS cars. I think its part of their attraction. As for the RS6? Close to 600 bhp, a bi-turbo V10 with at least some loose family connection to the unit in the Gallardo - and all in a wagon! What's not to like? It's the ultimate sleeper.

Just beautiful. Of course, it has the typical high quality Audi interior. The seats and steering wheel details are especially impressive.

I like the interior more than the exterior. I love the car but think they could've made the RS6 version just a bit more aggressive looking and still stay within the sleeper understated motif.

+1. It's a shame but it's not coming to the US Audi is saying it will likely bring the sedan over here, but I'd much prefer the wagon
