Pros

Amazing power delivery from the V10TT engine
Much improved exterior styling

Great multi-link suspension setup
Awe-inspiring 605hp of power and 700Nm of torque
Perhaps more reliable than the RS 6 from the previous generation (C6)

Rather good styling
Powerful V8TT engine
Great suspension setup
Good 0.28 drag coefficient
Good towing capacity

Cons

Only with automatic transmission
Very high fuel consumption
Rather difficult to do any work around the engine bay
Engine is very high maintenance

Arguably less attractive than the RS6 Avant

Questionable long-term reliability
