It's not often we talk about Audis here, much less wagons. But this one deserves special exception...

Since everyone likes power, lets start with that. This wagon is powered by a 5.0L twin turbocharged, direct injected V10 which puts out 580 horsepower and 480lbft. All of that power moves through a six speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift gear requesting, before being channeled into Audi's Quattro full time All Wheel Drive System, which distributes torque 40/60 F/R.
The suspension was rebuilt and is 3-step adjustable while the steering was also fine tuned. Braking is handled by optional carbon ceramic disks. Audi's goal here was to sharpen the driving experience to make it consistent with its RS badge- which is the badge that they use to delineate their ultimate driving-oriented cars. To this end, Audi also worked on their ESP stability control system, which has been setup to intervene only at the last moment... if the driver hasn't disabled it.
Officially, Audi claims that the RS6 can achieve 62mph in 4.4 seconds and ~120mph in 14.9 seconds. Word on the street is, that's a very conservative claim...
