My driving partner on the launch event was Glass’s prestige car editor Richard Crosthwaite, a regular contributor to the Business Car Manager Special Reports section. And he put it succinctly.
“It’s phenomenal. But where could you use that performance in the UK?”
It’s a point well made. A brilliant tour de force though the RS6 is, what’s the point?
And yet there will be no shortage of buyers for this ultimate estate car. Many will be small business owners.
I can see why.
It carries its performance discreetly. It has immense practicality – there are, after all, five doors and an estate car boot. And then there’s the prestige of the RS badge. It’s a performance car but without the flashiness. And the lack of everyday usefulness.
Customers take first delivery in August. They will be in for an absolute treat.
