Pros
  • Exceptional power and performance for a full-size sedan
  • NA V8 + manual + RWD!!!
  • Great double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup
  • Designed for the driver inside
  • Good 0.28 drag coefficient
  • 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)
  • Exciting I5 TFSI engine
Cons
  • Diesel and hybrid nonsense
  • AWD only with Turbo and Turbo S
  • Arguably less attractive than the RS6 Avant
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
  • No manual transmission available
  • Questionable styling (the hatchback is much better)
