2016 (161) Audi A6

The Audi RS6 Avant offers supercar performance to people who may not altogether like the idea of supercars. On the one hand there is the A6 Avant, a handsome and practical family car, on the other hand there is the 4 litre V8 engined RS6, an altogether different proposition. In terms of styling there is a similar juxtaposition between the fierce and the family-friendly image with macho lines giving this low-riding estate serious presence on the road. With a 0 - 100 kmph time of 3.7 seconds and no less than 600bhp, the RS6 boasts figures than any supercar would be proud of while the wheels are glued to the road thanks to Quattro technology. With a cavernous boot space and room for three child seats across the back, this Audi is certainly no slouch in the practicality stakes either. The interior is every bit as well-made as the V8 engine under the bonnet with the figure hugging seats particularly comfortable on long journeys. A large glove box and plenty of cup holders are nice touches than other car manufacturers would do well to heed.
