Pros
- 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)
- Tremendous torque from the 60 TDI and 60 TFSI
- Good 0.26 drag coefficient
- 60 TFSI e with low fuel consumption rating for those who don't like paying taxes
Cons
- Arguably less attractive than the RS6 Avant
- Styling even more generic than before
- No more W12
- Questionable long-term reliability and repair-ability
- Car with gadgets or gadgets masquerading as car?
