Audi RS6 V10 Turbo 😱 REVIEW - is this the best value performance car in the WORLD?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- It’s time to hop into the carwow Time Machine and travel back to 2008! George Bush is president, Club Penguin rules the internet and the Audi RS6 has a V10 engine! Not just a V10, in fact - a 5.0-litre V10 with two turbochargers! This gave the sporty estate 580hp and took it from 0-60mph in just 4.6 seconds! But how does the ten-year-old RS6 compare to the 2020 model, which gets a V8 under the bonnet BUT reaches 60mph in 3.6 secs! Let’s find out…

i love the "sleeper" look on the older rs6
There's nothing cooler than a sleeper estate car.
@@sbomorse With a V10 Biturbo in it. So good.
So glad Audi became unchavy
I love this design the most
Samuel Bomorse Even the 2012 Generation E63 AMG was a sleeper
5.0 v10 in an estate car, the 00’s was amazing
Definitely!
A v6 in a clio, v6 in a golf 👌
Blame the EU for ending this
@@purplefabian Blame the environment, or humans.
a w8 in a passat ....
Literally no one:
Audi engineers: let's stick a Lamborghini V10 and add two turbos to the A6 estate shall we
They all went a little crazy at the time. 6 litre diesel V12 in the Q7 too, they were nuts.
R8 had v10
@@SuperTrooperC R8 had the v12tdi and they used it in le Mans 24-hour race and it mon every year until they ceased to produce it
i would love to see a production R8 with a V12 TDI...
Man the r8 is slower by 180 up almost😂
This was the best looking RS6. No fancy lines, no extra creases for the sake of it, just clean and smooth design with just enough distinctive features so that those who know their cars will know what it is.
“Here’s five cool features:”
1. It’s got a v10
2. It’s got a v10
3. It’s got a v10
4.its got a v10
5. ITS A WAGON WITH A V10!!! What more do you want
I could've had a V10
An m5 v10 wagon 😬 it s a v10... Without any turbo🙊
@@robinmarples5198 rs6 has way more potential to make it very fast
@@robinmarples5198 but it has a ticking time bomb for the engine
It's automatic... :(
owner: cleans his car
carwow: lets park it in some mud and get it a bit deeertey
Not mud but wet orange sand which stains......
It was Mat's idea... 😏
Is this your car maybe ?🤣
What does Kdo Kdo mean?
The owner got mad def.
An Audi estate with a Gallardo engine and two turbo? Why not.
It depends on Volkswagen
audi said:“ja,dat ist eine gut idea”
Because maintenance cost and reliability is a nightmare.
This ain’t the Gallardo engine
The 5.2 is
@@claudethesilentman7841 That's for the LP560-4. The original first-gen Gallardo was 5.0 L, which Audi then used it for this RS6 and also the S6.
i will never sell my c6 rs6
Here's a suggestion for your next drag race: 4 generations of the RS6 (C5, C6, C7, and the new C8) to see how it evolved over time.
Yes
Hellyeah! And bring a 700bhp c6
Definitely!
This is exactly what I messaged them about. Can even use my stage 2 RS6 v10 if it helps
It’s confusing when someone says the new C8 because I don’t know if they are talking about Audi A6/S6/RS6 or the new C8 corvette
I hope tht this turns into a series kinda thing u kno "carwow time machine" anyway a good video by the team😁👍🏻👍🏻
Totally agree. These cars are better than the latest imo
DO IT!
And drag race 'em
@@irelax8595 agreed this and the c7.the latest NO!
Also Mat should wear a clothes and the wig from the times of "carwow time machine" chosen car/year :D
Walter de silva’s design. This car looks beautiful and very modern... simple an elegant lines
I’m loving these older car reviews ! 👏🏽👏🏽
4.2sec for a 10 Years old. Some just aged better.
With an ECU tune it can get much closer to the Currant RS6 and much much much quicker than standard. I love this car
Lord Mayhem with a ecu tune these get 650+ hp
@@dali91188 if you do the pre-cat delete and filter change, they're good for 730bhp and over 1000nm. 0-60 in 3.1, 0-100mph in 6.7s!
@@albigularis5248 I'd leave it stock though. It's just so *nice*
Prick owens it‘lll get 700bhp and 0-60 in 3.6. Perfect.
For 2008 car it's still looking handsome & barely aged 😮😏
It's a beauty!
You can say the same about Mat 🤭😏
Looks like the Bugatti Veyron at the front
As a sedan it looks even better.
If u call a car she, can u call it handsome?
This generation of audi cars are my most favorite generation of audi. It went downhill when they start to facelift the a4 and a5 and after that it went downhill
Positives:
- It has a V10
- it has a V10
Negatives:
- None
Conclusion:
- one of the cars of the decade!
Negative?
How about fuel consumption?
Reliability?
@@betaz1000 If you got a big bank, it's not an issue for you
@@LeBronyaJames Of course it is. If you have "a big bank" you wouldn't buy a 12 year old Audi. These cars were notoriously unreliable!
@@betaz1000 how on earth is that a negative? If you're buying a car for mpg you ain't gonna think oh I'll buy a RS6 you'd buy a 1.6TDI golf or something.
@@Lukerr239 well they're more reliable than an E60 M5 and unless you've chosen one that has been raped to 1000hp it won't cause massive issues. But oh boy a service checkup on this will leave you poor ( a brake change costs between 3-5k euros).
A wagon with a Lamborghini V10?
This has to be the perfect family car
It's not the 5.2
a modified lambo gallardo engine but unique and rapid enough for its time
@@MultiDecimation it only has a Lamborghini block, every single other component is unique to the Audi. So no, not a modified Lamborghini engine, they just borrowed the block and enhanced it.
Or rather a Lamborghini with an Audi estate engine
@@richyoreilly4528 i wouldn't call it enhanced..id say its the opposite being 200cc less with 2 turbos strapped on, all the exoticness if thats a word has been sucked out and replaced with boring with no soul or character
When carwow doesn't have a new car to review :
Itz Titan I don’t mind tbh
Not all people buy new cars
I dont mind..wish they review every car that has been released..will give me something to watch al day
This is better
Nope. The new chief sales and marketing at Audi/VW has given direct orders. If all new Audi models are reviewed,rolling out the old ones. People must be busy watching Audi reviews 24/7. And CARWOW obliges.
Thank you, Mat! One of my all time favorites, and I do prefer its more rounded & subtle design cues. Love that engine and exhaust noise too - just right. Tuners like Klasen have managed to get really monster power out of this engine too just in case 580 HP isn't enough. Great review! Great car!
These 'retro' reviews are awesome. Keep 'em coming!
There is a mum dropping kids on the school nearby my house everyday in one of these
This is the whole point of this car,to drive it on German autobahn and when you see a black Audi estate and think you ll trash it with your...golf...this estate Audi will break your neck as flees from next to you
The luckiest kids around!
@@carwow 😆
Almost as lucky as the ones they re dropped from an e63 grey estate same school...different mum(as you can imagine)
@@CpTFace Also in Germany my neighbor drop kids to school in G63 AMG and that obviously wasn't enough for her so she bought another one 2019 in white color 😂 I hate em bcs I only have fucking Jag 😢
Those were the times... A 6.2L in a C-class; a V10 in an M5 redlining at 8250 rpm! And normal 2.0L 4-cilinder blocks in normal cars, without turbo's.
Again, I miss those times. They're gone forever.
I mean you can still go buy those cars
We entered the electric/ turbo /4 wheel drive/ autonomous driving era
@@AhuCJ Sure, but as Matt told the interior is outdated, and the cars are way too expensive. Of course that is directly related to those engines ;-) so I understand the downsizing.
@@hatsjie2 yep..
Sad, these times are gone 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Mat, great video. Hope you'll continue to review other performance cars from the past years (e.g. CLS 55 AMG). This could make an awesome series.
By far the best Car review/content channel on UA-cam. Way too many people who know nothing get far too much play
Old RS6 vs New RS6 Drag Race??
Who wants this??
Not me.. it will show how much slower the older one really is 😑
It’d be cool to see what old(ish) grunt does against a V8 computer
I would like to see this RS6 V10 then RS6 performance 2016 and brand new RS6
Me lad
I have a 2021 rs6?👀👀 I’m Down
i just hope he cleaned his shoes before getting into the car
3:14
@Marko Mihaji No He Didn't, This Guy Is Crazy.

@ϟϟ White Wolf ϟϟ Daaamn you wear shoes with cow dung and it doesn't bother you..
@@vladimirblanusa9451 no hes a dumb nazi
Good ol' superwagon times ! Including the M5 and the E63
My dream wagon here in the states. Absolutely love that engine and the styling of this model era.
Can you do a race between Audi 2008 RS6 Vs Audi 2019 RS6
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The rs4 diesel is a better comparison
abhishek duggal Do you mean the S6 diesel?
@@abhishekduggal2115 how so ?
Would be so pointless
@@abhishekduggal2115 There is no diesel RS4.
Best automotive reviewer at the moment
We'd have to agree, but I guess we're a bit biased...
The most fun definitively
We have the same profile picture 😂
@@carwow Such humility hahahaha
Him and Henry from Carfection are the best in my opinion.
Much prefer the sleeper-ish styling of the 2008, and the twin turbo V10 kinda makes my gentleman parts all tingly. Awesome piece of presentation mate 👌 I really enjoy your candour, dry UK humour and a courteous but playful bedside manner :)
some years ago , an old Alfa V6 was my daily and I kept a permanent smile while listening to that sound. How nice would it be to hear that V10 every day? No one needs a Tracktool , it's just for fun and faster then the most of us can handle !
When the C8 releases in the UK, you gotta bring back this C6, a C7, and maybe even track down a C5 RS6 do one of your epic drag race, rolling race, and brake test battles! 🤘🏽
Amazing car. One of the coolest RS models. But I'l stick with my nr1 dream Audi: The RS4 B5 Avant
Now you're talking my language 💪💪💪💪
B9 👌🏼👌🏼
Personally i cant chose between the rs 4 and rs 6 kombi
RS2 is daaamn, my most favourite
‘92 RS2 anyone....?
Great video! Doing some reviews from older cars. Lovely 👌👌
Absolutely love these "older" car reviews!
0:08 Audi always nails the styling. Be it 2008 or 2019
The new ones not so much tho
Audi manages to make their cars even more boring than the original Volkswagen. I don’t think Audi’s styling’s good at all...
Dude, Audi's styling is subtle. Compare it with Mercedes. Mercedes styling has started to age with its curvy and swoopy design. Audi has always made the best looking cars. BMW has also caught up in the last decade or so.
@@je1letv name any Merc that beats an Audi in looks. It should be in the same segment.
nishit singh birman I think every car... Audi’s are just boring.
They should've kept the V10s on the RS6 and S6.
Well Greta Thunberg is gonna have a fit
They probably would have but had to downsize because of emissions.
Downsize cuz emissions and the worst part is the new s6 is a 6cyl diesel ☹
The S6 in America and Canada has a biturbo V6 petrol. Better for emissions than the V8.
Look as the mpg here 😅
really love this model , design and engine
As a previous owner... and an RS worshipper, I can confirm, it's a yes!!!!! Sadly, not many in Oz at all, even less so the Avant I bloody loved mine as it had the ECU upgrade, now it's back on my wish list.
The interior is almost 17 years old, and still looks nice today! Kudos, Audi.
RIP not 17 it’s only 11 years old
11-12 years olf
This interior is 15 years old and it looks new to me
@@mileglavash C6' interior was designed back in 2003.
@@Gunryygunryy Designed but in this video, the car has 11 years, so it looks fresh
"Hi everybody, Matt Wattson here from.." Already liked.
Audi interiors age like a fine wine. There are many imitators. But none come close. Prove me wrong
For me those are very bland. Bland things are aging better, so it is easy to do something bland that will not change to worse - because it was bland then and it is bland now - no emotions and changes for worse. But also nothing is truly inspiring or thought provoking. You look at it and just say ,,OK", because it is calculated to be just ,,OK", like lukewarm water
A real challenge is to make something characteristic yet aging in a good way - like Alfa Romeo 159. When I look at Audi, I always feel like they have not even tried, everything is so conservative and cautious. ,,Better not try anything new or creative because it may age bad". For me it is not an impressive philosophy.
Tomasz Kolowca Walter da Silva designed this Audi. VAG recruited him from Alfa Romeo (1986-1999). The man is a legend.
The exterior design forms of many Alfa Romeo models are great. Unfortunately inside they are often unpractical and use cheaper materials.
Personally I love Audi´s design, it is understated, eloquent, simple and beautiful just like Scandinavian home design. Unlike in 2002 when da Silva joined Audi, they are selling well to large target groups so clearly the buyers agree.
For a new designer with brave new ideas it would be a difficult to start working for Audi now.
Early 2000’s Alfa’s just have something else with those interiors though... I’m pretty sure to match this RS6’s gen you’d have to go with the.... 159? They amaze me to this day that a company strapped for cash could do something like that
This 2008 Audi interior is the same spec as 2017 BMW interiors
t 😂
I've been looking to buy one of these and I've been waiting for you to review this car thank you
I can’t get over the fact that he licked the V10 badge on the engine. Anyone else feel the same way?
V10 engine tastes very nice
He won't die from it so what's the problem
you should do more older cars like this, really good vid mat
Man this was and still is my dream car from back in the day! However, it was the RS blue saloon version!! What an animal!! I just wish they'd bring out another RS6 saloon! Imagine that 😭😭😭
Would love to see a drag race between all the generations of rs6. I have the C5 model. The first one. Still turns heads at 17 years old. Great car, rapid quick and sounds awesome.
Matt you have to sort one out!! Please!!!
After 10 years it’s still a beauty... the car isn’t bad either
I got a 2010 audi a6 avant and I love it !
This is a perfect example of a car you want your best mate to own...
...You can drive it all you like, but don't have to pay the 💰💰💰 when the engine inevitably implodes 😁
MattBrandCars i have an Audi RS5, but if my mates think they can drive it all the time they are wrong
Review more of these kind of older cars, I love this
Man, i love these sport wagons!, bout to get the regular 2008 a6 wagon, in 6 months, can't wait!!!
Audi fans absolutely love this channel.
Nope and wat happened to ur prof pic
I am personally an amg fanboy
Emil Aby He said Audi fans, not amg fans lmao
Emil Aby he said audi not amg 🙄
I know he said audi guys but i just wanted to say i was an AMG fanboy!
Carwow got me checking the legroom and headspace everytime I sit in a car new to me😂
Doesn't everyone do that?! 😮
Tbh that's something u should do anyway to see how practical the car is for passengers
@@amarbassi na don't cere about that crap just see if it's fast if so buy it..
@@twincammikev 🤦♂️
Be good to see more videos like this, older performance cars that we've got more chance of affording. Good video!
Great idea to review older cars as there are a lot of people who look at these videos looking for a review of a used car, keep this up
0-60 is 4.2 seconds back that days holly bloody
I remember being in the passenger seat in one of these years ago and it was shockingly fast, it’s still one of the fastest cars I’ve been in. I’ll always have a soft spot for these generation RS6’s.
Cool , carwow. I like that they do a review of older cars to. Many of us buy second hand cars.
I sat in a brand new one of these at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg when they first came out. It was the first VW group vehicle I'd seen with the colour screen in the centre of the instrument cluster and it had a nice RS6 logo on it. Common now, but wasn't back then. Always a fan of that V10 :)
I remember when Hammond drove this on the mountain on top gear
which episode was it?
I remember that episode!
The New RS6 looks definitely the best designed estate as well as performance car
To me it looks too much like a standard s6..And that big heavy engine in front of the front axle makes it a performance car only on a straight road...
porsche panamera sport turismo looks better imho
@@HypnOlli But what's more you expect from an estate car. It's spacious, practical and fast
Drive one of these RS6 V10’s everyday. Love it to bits, Very reliable so far. Although I’m at a point of being banned for speeding because of it. Oops!
Dare I ask about fuel costs?
De Billington , On board computer says 550 / 580 KM per fill up with 65 litres of fuel. Early morning traffic and a little highway driving I just get 380 - 400km each tank realisticly. If I’m doing short town journeys I’ll get 330 - 350 if I’m lucky.
wilkothewiz I mean, that doesn’t *sound* too bad. But it’s an RS6. You could forgive it if it was thirsty
@@wilkothewiz not too bad for a v10, Im surprised
@@wilkothewiz That’s actually less range than my ev lol
The 6 line up of audi last 2008 is one of the best sounding V10
Because if you mod the exhaust it's so unique and the symphony is very good 💯
But petrol prices in 2019 aren’t quite what they were in 2008 Mr. Matt.
Finally I’ve waited so long for you guys to do this very special monster.
Please keep this going, test cool cars from the past regularly. 👌
the holy grail of all sleeper lovers
Would love see more videos like these from this legendary car reviewer.
So glad you've done this video. Been planning on getting one for ages when my share scheme matures next year 😀
Thank you for this test... I love this car
I had one; miss it every day. Interesting thing was how you had to hold down the ESP button for about 7 seconds to switch it off, otherwise you would only switch off the ASR by just pressing it
like for Matt Watson
Like from us!
But not a heart
carwow crew seriously is killin the game right now, premium quality daily uploads, thats awesome
113 kosovov 💪 💪
You posted this video on my birthday and the RS6 is my favorite car LOL
This looks so much better than the newer one.
Loving the Audi content! Keep it coming!!!
We will, don't you worry!
Audi!!👍👍👍
@@carwow sure, if they are a sponsor..
@@carwow All generations of RS6 !! pls

Definitely need to see a drag race between this and the old M5 V10 and the old E63 station wagon
I sold mine back in April due to a job change. Still miss it. As a daily drive, smile bringer and load carrier, it could not be beaten.
Really nice looking car. It's aging well. I have A3 Sportback from 2007 and love the design
Would love to see a review from you on the E61 M5 Touring, pretty please?
It would be nice you did more of this retro reviews with the 3 series, C-class, etc 👌🏼
Good video, a lot more interesting than just a new car.
Can we have more retrospective reviews?
Always loved this design of the A6
I had one of these with 700hp. It was one of the best car I ever had. Better than the C7 imo ! I haven’t tested the new one though ! I can’t wait !
Do the 2013-2018 model too!! I love this!
Hope one day you can shoot video of AUDI C5 RS6, that will be super lovely!!
Cracking vid, i like this "going into the past" kinda thing
First thing i thought when the notification popped up is there a brand new rs6 with a glorious v10
But sadly no,😭
Audi for the win!!
This car is absolutely amazing... I'd buy it only for the engine! And also the s6, without turbos!!
I know someone who is selling a rs6 for less than 10k euros 162k km
All around europe you can not find one like this under 25k euros wich has more than 200k km
I've always loved the RS6, maybe one day I'll treat myself. ;)
I love how this intro looked like a top gear intro
Coolest and most prettiest RS6 ever imo! (:
Awesome video!
How about doing a review of the v10 m5 vs this rs6? 👀
The sneeze at the end 🤣🤣
Rs6: I have a V10 in a Wagon!
V12 diesel SUV Audi, hold my beer....
Hold my diesel filled jerry-can
Diesel completely defeats the point of the V engine. The sooner diesels are history the better.
@@tomsg1 what the heck do you mean by that, V-engines are just made to be more compact than inline engines (in length and hight) and diesel engines are very fuel efficient
@@tomsg1 bruh your probably like 12 y/o and dont have a car. i have a BMW 540d and the MPG is wayy better then my previous 440i. its alot cheaper and drives (in my opinion) nicer on the highway.
GTI Gaming Diesel is for trucks, buses and economy mom mobiles. The words ‘performance’ and ‘diesel’ don’t belong in the same sentence. The Diesel engine is by inherent design - not cool. They don’t rev quickly or high enough, they sound like a shit, and also basically have to be turbocharged to be useable. There’s a reason you don’t see diesel supercars. The Diesel engine doesn’t fit any of criteria for a cool car.
Do an A8L W12 6.0 review
What I like about the c5 and c6 rs6 is that they are subtle but good looking in contrast to the c7 and c8 which scream for attention
Keep the old car reviews coming Matt. 😀
