Testwinner was BMW M6 GC, clearly best on track, poor everyday usability, however, followed by RS6, XF-R and last place for MB. Surprising winner as RS6 was fastest in straight line and on the track.

Everyday usability winner was Audi RS6, followed by MB, Jaguar and BMW was last.

So, this is the test we have all been waiting for. Too bad they didnt have the M5 there instead.

And WOA!!

I can not put my arm around how insanely fast the RS6 is!
- Fastest in straight line,
- Best breaking time
- Fastest on the track

I think it shut all the haters mouths now

Not only did the RS6 Avant beat it's main competitor E63 AMG-S (that everybody was saying it's gonna smoke the RS6), but it also equalled it's best 100km/h time to 3.5 seconds. My nr1 favorite Audi at the moment!

Was this the AWD AMG?

This goes to show how purely subjective (or just bias) these journalist are.
I cannot believe thay ranked the XR-F (or the RS6 for it`s understeer) above the E63.

If I can remember the E63 beat the RS6 in steering and break feel by one or two other testers already.

I wonder how the 6-GC ended up the test winner?
I must be missing something other than the presented stats....

 

[deity]

Since when did the M6 GC compete with the E and the A6? My opinion, but AMS has been garbage for a good five years or so now.

With 3,8 sec 0-100? Definitely it was the S-model with 4matic.

This is Swedish AMS - the original German AMS just keeps getting better again.

Note: the RS6 and M6 numbers came directly from the German edition, I have no info about the rest of the cars.

It Said no m5 available...

 

[JHF]

WOW, what a great laptime for the RS6.

 

[deity]

It Said no m5 available...

Indefinitely? Either wait until there is one available or exclude it from the comparo. Just because an A4 is missing from a 3-er/C-Class comparo doesn't mean you use the 4-door A5 instead.

Now don't be like that on the RS6. Have you seen the reviews that Chris Harris (and some other tests) did on the RS6, saying it's the best Audi after the R8, not understeering so much? So, what I am saying, is that maybe RS6 did really deserve to win here? It seems that this RS6 goes back to the joy days of the RS4 B7. My two cents.

RS6 is just downright proper. It does everything an RS Avant ought to do and more. I'm glad that the RS6 represents a return to hyper wagon form for Audi - after all they defined the genre. It's the monster-wagen and it owns this segment. The carniverse is in balance.

 

[klier]

From 100 km/h to 200 km/h the BMW strikes back against those AWD monsters!

M6 GC ftw!

The M5 CP and M6 CP are just around the corner too for tests now! Can't wait to see those!

 

[Deckhook]

I reckon the M6GC is every bit the rival to the others as the M5 is and as such I don't see a problem with its inclusion on this occasion. Whether the M5 would have done better is up for debate but I'm sure we will see comparisons with it in due course.

I spent some time admiring the S8 and the RS5 just yesterday, they are some of the Best Germany has. The U.S. market is awaiting the RS7, but we should be getting the RS6..ugh.

ofcourse it is hah

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

E63 last? They're smoking some strong shit.

 

[mini_cooper4]

3.5sec 0-100km/h. is just a 0.1sec. slower than the 458... WTH!?
I really can't believe that but if it's true... Bow Down!
It's amazing that a wagon that weights about 2 tons is able to be That Fast!
I thought the E63-S was already too fast but that... OMG!

I don't get this, why would they borrow times as they clearly had all cars available for testing +equipment. Why not just measure the times? Then again I also don't believe that identical times would be otherwise possible.

Audi is seriously underrating their cars. That V8 is making 600hp easy. RS6 looks better than RS7 in some ways.
