30,000 miles down, 470,000 to go before it's time for anything else 😀
Keep the RS6, love the RS6, please show us more of the RS6, but we NEED to see the TDF!!!
Heya...i hope you will have the time to reply to my comment cause i never heard anywhere an explanation of this "issue" ...can u explain please why theese modern back boxes have the tips separate from the back box? U can see the opening between them...just dont get it why...or just esthetics?
I would wait for the new RS6 to be announced before choosing what to get next. I have a feeling the new one will be pretty great.
yeah same!!!
Requirements for a MrJWW video: "Gear Box Snob" (8:00) "10/10ths" (8:14) "... such a fantastic stance to it." (11:17) and, of course, the ol' 'Smiles Per Gallon' sweatshirt! Color me pleased, James... all of my particular boxes have been ticked, by this video. Cheers, mate!
Pleasure to be of service sir!
Brilliant!
Go to Audi, tell them what you told us, hybrid, V8 Twin turbo, 4 WD, PDK, more pops and bangs, and request 0.001% from each car sold. Because you described the ultimate car.
Why would they sell a Panamera Turbo s-e hybrid with a different badge? Tbh the normal Turbo is a better deal because of the weight difference.
Hope this is a joke, ever heard of the Panamera ST?
Honestly,
A Lusso would be INSANE. It's basically a V12 Shooting Brake which is my DREAM, and I imagine it would be quite enjoyable for you as well. However, you've done 30K miles on the RS6, and I can't imagine you'd want to throw 30K miles on a Lusso that quickly. Additionally, like you said, you need something to be very practical. Personally, I would go with the Panamera Sport Turismo, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see it on the channel.
Please let us know soon
190cm skis don't properly fit in a Lusso. What a shame.
Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E Hybrid would be insane
Good point lad
@@111tombomb I absolutely love the aesthetics of it. I think it's there best Panamera Porsches has evde msde
Your point is valid, but I'd be interested to see the running costs and reliability of a V12 Ferrari racking up the miles.
We expect a Porsche and Audi to be reliable motoring.
I'm very upset that we don't get the Audi RS6 Wagon in the United States.
Michael Bacon why dont u get them?
thats silly why?
something to do with the performance and they rather have them buy american cars (thats what i read somewhere). quite a number of European & Japanese cars are banned. once they hit 25 yrs old can be imported
ahh ok 25yrs old thats alot though!
Skyliner r34 is on the list but what some people do is get a company in say japan to buy one, strip it. sent in it parts so the engine to american the shell to canada the gearbox somewhere else they arrive at what ever destination then get sent to where you actually want it. comes under building a kit car but the authorities dont like that. and have taken the parts and destroyed them.
"pulls like a mule on crack" love it!
Derek Lau unfortunately the expression is kicks like a mule, pulls like a train, so he was mixing his metaphors! 🤔😜
Gary Lawton what’s unfortunate by it.
Definitely get the new RS6 when it comes out
I wonder what its going to look like. I absolutely love the looks of the C7 gen, it looks just so brutal... but the new A6's looks I don't gel with. The single light bar at the back... I don't see how that's going to look aggressive enough.
Hey guys, thanks as always for watching the video - there are some really big announcements coming soon so please be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out - it’s a big one! On another note - the RS6 is not going yet, based on expected lead time of the new RS6 - I’d say around 12 months yet! So still plenty of RS6 to share 😃
How about an Alpina estate? Very rare and made for destroying miles.
Awesome, your content is just Fantastic! 😍🔥
I am also an owner of a Audi RS6 Performance and I really have to say it's still the best estate (Avant) available for me. Still looking fresh, still feels super fast and still is the benchmark for everything that's coming from other manufacturers/brands. And let's be honest, it took MB/AMG a while to bring out a car that's "better" (at least on paper) or as good as the RS6 is. And the RS6 is a product of 2012/2013.......
"An audible tone change of cog manoeuvres."
That's the most eloquent description of gear shifting I've ever heard.
When are you going for a bike ride with the Aston racing team? You could fit a few bikes in/on the RS6.
Could wait for the next generation rs6
It will be crap.Look at the interior,the infotainment system is un-usable when you are driving.Touch-screens everywhere and it looks bad in my opinion.
@@Elias_g1 it wont be crap.
I would love to see your reaction on Abt‘s new RS6 Hybrid. Must be mindblowing... 👌
I say have a chat with ABT 🤩
‘It pulls like a mule on crack!’ - James the man who often states he has no words to describe things.
Well, that was a beautifully crafted descriptive phrase!
👍🏽😂😂
Even though all the main car youtubers have got some serious cars just now, i still think your just about winning with the TDF. That is going to be a well remembered car for the next 100 years!
Once Parker has the svj and schmee has the senna though there will be computing! Variety is going to be awesome!
@@wuzihuzi for sure the variety is cool. Although i dont really watch vehicle virgins tbf. For me the TDF still just about beats the Senna. Id like to see some more classics about on the channels though.
@@pauldavis3904 yeah I didn't like Parker at first but I think Mr Jew rubbed off him a little bit and your right the TDF is awesome and has that heritage essence
James you have to do a comparison between this and the new E63S Amg 4matic.
But.... if you want a practical car... did you consider the upcoming new Audi rs7, its a giant hatchback... with tonnes of space in the boot and in the rest of the car, and a monstrous engine. You must try that car when it comes out.
Btw your Rs6 its so beautiful.
Waiting for TDF content!!
MARTIN ORTIZ I'd honestly pay to watch JWW content about the new rs7
Well the rs7 is only 4 seats
MARTIN ORTIZ why RS7 when there is a RS6!! Of course a new one is coming it’s way.. supposedly with a hybrid power train with 700hp
Ravi and who really cares?
@@berniesutton7277 are you stupif were talking about practicality
go for a Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid ... 705 PS will make you fly :-)
mr_kml_ 84 are u the real kml from insta?
What do you think of the alpina b5 Touring? Could also be an Option with 610hp
Malte HD now thats a proper MrJWW car.
When did the B5 get 630hp? Ok, it may have have a real world 630hp, but it is rated at 608hp.
Yes.
Get the new one when it’s released
The RS6 will always be the lonely king.
Having just driven a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid for the past week, I can honestly say it is one of the best cars I've ever driven. I wouldn't consider anything else.
New RS6 :D
The C7 RS6 is so popular on your channel as it's actually attainable for many of your viewers. Unlike much of the exotica that you own/drive.
I also fell under the spell, so went to buy a new one (after owning six Mercedes) but I guess I'm just getting old as I found it a bit too shouty and bit too compromised in ride quality for a true daily. So I bought the S6 Avant instead which is kind of like an RS6 "comfort".
The S6 does have a dual clutch gearbox unlike it's big brother, but I'd probably prefer the ZF 8 speed torque box if I'm completely honest. Whilst the dual clutch is undoubtedly fast when you're rolling and launching it often gets wrong footed at town speed and when manoeuvering.
There's always a compromise somewhere right?
We'll I'm only a little over a year into ownership of my S6 and the reality is it's the best car I've ever owned (as a daily with lots of performance) and it's unlikely to be replaced unless it starts going wrong. Even then I took the warranty extension from new to cover it for 5 years.
The other bonus? Audi will paint your car any colour you want for a reasonable amount of money (try asking Mercedes that!). So I currently own (at least at the time it was built) the only Audi S6 Avant in the world painted Orange Flame metallic (the Bentley colour).
Why change it James? It's only just run in at 30,000 miles.
Yeah 4 doors are more practical but you'd still have the RR if you really need them, the Gtc4l price is madness but a V12 ferrari is always worth it.
I'd rather have the E63s over the sport turismo.
Just wait for the new RS6 which should be coming in few months and make your decision.
I LOVE THE RS6 !!! 😍😍😍 LOVE your channel. Hi from Tahiti !!!
Your car is perfect, perfect color, perfect interior etc hold on to it please
Thanks! It’s not going anywhere any time soon, probably another 8-12 months with the car
Just buy the Ferrari dealership already
That would be Next Level
GTC4 Lusso in the same spec as your TDF👌
kimi88cz this
or this RS6 spec ;-)
She is defo a keeper. I recon wait for the next gern RS6. It is a beast of a car, proper mans wagon! I am a Porsche fan and owner, but the Pan is still a bit souless compared to the RS6. The Lusso is just another Ferrari V12 which you already have. Just my opinion. Thanks for the content.
Hi James. You’ll most certainly want to wait for the Mercedes AMG GT73 sedan which will have 850bhp from a hybrid assisted 4.0 V8 biturbo. While I’m a huge fan of the Ferrari FF/ GTC-4 Lusso, it’s not quite as comfortable and practical as a super estate.
Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk has the Hellcat 707hp hemi engine and it's slightly faster than the Urus and then first is the Tesla Model X with that ludicrous electric torque. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is slightly behind the Urus. i say that because I'd rather the Stelvio to the other three as far as SUV's. I can't get an RS6 in Canada, they don't sell them in this market in this model range. Pure shame. They claim no one wants a shooting brake, estate here over the SUV. I'd rather a shooting brake any day. Like you said the GT4 Lusso v12 is pretty much the top of my list for dream daily, but the RS6 has always been in the top 5 and the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is a mouthful but I think an amazing all around vehicle. All that said the reality is you smashed the spec on this RS6 and it would be shame to let that go at all. I've wanted an RS6 since before i can remember. the V10 version would be insane.
You should check out the E63S wagon. Love your vids, I'm a gearbox fanatic like you are.
Nice video as always. I have had my RS6 (V8) nearly three years.I am also thinking about replacement, but I am just not seeing anything out there that gives me the practical buzz like the RS6. Family of four in a supercar?! Its had the Litchfield Stage 2 (730 BHP) for nearly two years. Serviced every 9000 miles. Drinks fuel like an alcoholic. Eats rubber. Still love it.
I'm gonna be buying my own in a year or so, depending on how I'll be doing financially, and honestly, I just don't see any good replacement for that car. I currently have a 2002 Opel Vectra B and I love my car(I know it's nothing compared to RS, but hey, it has sentimental worth to me) and I just don't see any good replacements for that car lol. I know how you feel about it so I'd suggest you to not replace it at all. It's a great family car and it's a beast.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio please 🍀🙏🏼
You did say it was good 👍🏼
Amazing car but would seem a little off from his current collection.
Geeky hawk all about the Smiles Per Gallon not the badge. 😉
It is a very difficult car to replace. I wouldn't go for the Lusso even though it's amazing looking and sounding. You already have the TDF and have an 812 incoming. Sure, these cars are quite different but at the same time they are a bit alike, big V12 engined Italian GT cars with a similar sound and interior feel. But since you already have the Range Rover with the big booth, why don't you look into something like the new BMW 8 series or the Mercedes CLS AMG?
The RS6 is very sporty. What happen with the Range Rover, do you still have it?
Wait for the new RS7/RS6.
It probably will have 2 version as you just said and normal RS6 will have about 600ps and the performance one will have 650 ps just like Urus.
The new RS6
Good to see those 'smiles' per gallon on you
Please Please Please make more videos with this car, its just a dream. Perhaps a roadtrip or comparing it with an E63s 4matic.
Still craving more TDF but as always great video
You deserve 1million subs.Kudos to the excellent work.
The continental suits you very well, just saying ;)
I love Kiniki, bought some for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it
Take it to ABT that would be awesome
Panamera Turbo SE? Amazing fuel economy because its hybrid, Porsche Performance, and ultra luxury!
Otherwise the next RS6 or an E63s wagon
Would you perhaps consider an RS7?
It's the same car underneath isn't it? Just its not an estate... so in my opinion isn't quite as cool.
It might not be as practical, but in my personal opinion, it's far superior aesthetics wise and unique looking. Storage space is also massive and it can be, like the RS6, your calm cruiser or a quick monster of a car.
Domen-Ian Morovič fair enough! the rs7 is obviously awesome as well... I wouldn't be upset if somebody gave me either car haha
If I could only have one car, it would almost definitely be a 2017 RS7 to be honest, so I'm a bit biased :D
I don’t think the next RS6 will be a proper hybrid. It’ll be a mild hybrid system like the rest of Audi’s latest range.
Like you said in the video, they won’t make it like or better than the Panamera so I don’t think it would make sense to go full hybrid.
Personally I’m not a fan of the design language of the new RS models I.e. the RS4 and 5 so if the next RS6 takes on those looks it’ll be a 👎 from me.
Get a alfa Romeo stelvio qv
As of now, the best option is E63s Wagon.
At 5:47.... No its not the “lambo Gallardo engine”... Wtf... you should know better mister.. lambo engine is the same as in the Audi S8- and is a 5,2 V10..
the RS6 has a completley different block from a diesel engine- AND its a 5,0 V10, because the “lambo engine” was NOT strong enough with Biturbos mounted...
you should know that when you make these kind of videos:)
Screw hybrids. We want NA goodness. Also pointless getting a V12 Ferrari GT4C ...you've already got the TDF. Too similar? Hard to find anything value for money that beats the RS6. Arguably the best looking too
Afternoon James.
Another great Video.
How about saving the £200,000 and get the new one of the RS 6 .
Then with the gorgeous RS 6 you have. Why not turn it into and bespoke MR JWW project car.
No stupid wings or anything just make it a sleeper supercar Killer with rolls Royce Luxury inside it.
That would be amazing.
Have a great evening
I have also read those very same rumours about the next RS6. heard that the "Performance" version would be getting the engine out of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hbrid. And that the regular RS6 would get the Panamera Turbo engine. Also same rumor for the next RS7.
Also I LOVE the RS6, also the other fast wagons.
I think you should hold on to it, since you are so happy with it.
As far as I know from Porsche they have developped the new engine for the Urus which will also be used in the next RS6. Audi used to develop the V8 for the Panamera Turbo your RS6 etc. In terms of gearbox I don't think Audi will mate the engine to a DSG instead of just using the existing powertrain from the Urus with the 8 speed ZF.
Go for the Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid, PDK gearbox and V8+Hybrid assistance (like the 918) with 680hp:)
Next?? GTC4 Lusso. Another Ferrari can't hurt anyone. I know it is expensive and it's easy to talk when it is other person's money. But as you said: "It's a 4 seater F12." It is a Ferrari V12. Whatelse do you need?
What was the cost of your RS6 Performance new if you don't mind me asking? I can't remember if you've said this on your collection vid or any other vids. Lovely spec you got though, my perfect car. My RS3 is the same colour combo, Merlin with White
I'd like to see Alfa Romeo Giulia QV ''Estate'' :P .....unfortunately, i dont think it's gonna happen.....ever :(
If there is not a concern over "loss in value/depreciation" keep the RS6 ...Take it to APT and "Mr JWW" customize - a la Jon Olsson. Personally if Audi does not take it to the level of the Porsche, Porsche all the way.
The Panamera and Bentley Continental GT use a shared chassis, if the RS6 is put on that chassis then a hybrid power train would definitely be possible. As for the Urus V8, I've been told it's going into the Continental GT next year so it looks like VAG are sharing it about.
Go for the very irrational choice; the Lusso. Imagine three V12's in your garage, that would be nuts. And you have your Range Rover as your daily cruiser, and the Lusso as a more sporty 'daily' then. Looking forward to seeing this unfold in the future. Keep up the great work 😎
The new RS6/7 will be a copy paste of the panamera turbo & turbo s hybrid. There will be a 550hp variant and a 680hp hybrid just like the porsche because they’re based on the same chassis and will use the exact same drivetrain. Mark my words on this.
ABT allready created a hybrid RS6, so i think it's very likely that this was a research project from audi, meaning it could very well become a serial production car. PDK would be amazing in addition to that powertrain
On the gearbox topic, I wouldn't be surprised if the new RS6 has a strengthened version of the RS4/5 gearbox, not the Panamera 8 speed PDK.
Another excellent and motivating video. I get the distinct impression that you don’t it for the recognition; nonetheless, THANK YOU for the heart you put into your channel. Cheers from the USA!
The front of the GT4C looks too soft. That back looks sharp and aggresive but the front just doesnt do it. Needs to look more like the 812. Id rather have the RS6 and save the 200k... use the money for the CGT deposit ;)
Hold out for the release of the new RS6, its got heritage which I personally like. I reckon you should do an epic Christmas themed road trip in your current RS6 to Lapland. Looking at the map whatever route you took would be amazing. You could visit koenigsegg en route also dinner at Faviken.
Keep your RS6, put 300k miles on it and tell us what tricks & sorcery you have to do to keep the car mechanically sound. Non OEM parts and parts modifications are allowed for this long term vlog.
Great to see your RS6 back James, it's been missed, and way more of it please. And why haven't you given it the ABT treatment yet??!! #youknowitmakessenseandhastobedone
Love the channel, but have you looked at the low frequency audio spectrum of your in car videos? On my stereo setup with subwoofer, there is a booming, constant rumble coming from my sub on all of your videos during any in-car segments. Immediately goes away when you switch out of the car. It makes watching the videos almost unbearable. I don’t seem to notice this with any of the other UA-camrs in-car audio.
Audi and Porsche created the first ever super estate and first RS car ! The RS2 then came the B5 RS4 from the help from cosworth who worked on the engine to pump up the power from 265 to 380 bhp. Very tuneable engine
You should definitely take a look at the RS6-E from Abt. It's a Hybrid-RS6 with 1000 hp. Video is online on UA-cam. 😉
Maybe put a new wrap on the car ? A nice satin blue chrome?
Deffo upgrade with the new RS6 when it launches, this has to remain your daily driver.
Gt4 lusso is just not achievable for the common people that watch your channel (so is an rs6, but at least we can kid ourselves) xx
I would appreciate a 612 Scaglietti but I can imagine it's not really fitting in this scheme :P But anyways, great content and I think it does not really matter if you'll go for an Audi or a GTC4Lusso because both are or will be fascinating to watch
All new Audi is at least mil-hybrid. I have heard that the new rs6 is going to have Porsche v8 TT hybrid, witch have 680 hp. And it should also get the pdk gearbox. I think Audi is going to hit the 700 hp.
2018 E63 S Wagon is faster and can be just rear wheel drive when you want it. The same goes for BMW M5 2018, except it doesnt come as a wagon.
I think your next daily should be the 2019 Bentley Flying Spur. Four doors, W12, PDK, incredible interior.
James, would love to see you in a SEAT Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive - just to give us your thoughts on a slightly more budget but fun estate - still 4 wheel drive.
Have you ever considered an Alpina? A B5 Touring? It is powerful, comfortable, spacious and different...
Wagons are dying due to SUV's taking over the marked, some models that sold well 5-10 years ago, are not going to be replaced with new models, like Toyota Avensis.
wait for new RS6, check it out. And compare in one video Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, New RS6 and GTC4 V12
I love your channel so much but a bit of constructive criticism.... I feel like I’ve seen this before... and 17 minuets... please cut them down, definitely when you are doing something like this where we have already seen this video split across 3 videos
Yes, I love the RS6 and have commented on more than one occasion about seeing it more on this channel. But WTF, where's the TDF!?!?!? Peace
Take the RS6 to Litchfields and go Stage 2 (u already have the exhaust) then do a comparison video of what its like against stock with 720bhp.
personally I'd wait untill the next generation RS6 is announced before choosing. A lusso seems a bit excessive for a daily to me. I'd choose either a new RS6 depending on how the next one is, an E63s wagon or the Panamera
so the info readout is in mpg, you measure speed in mph but your gas (petrol) station units is liters? Doesn't that get super confusing? Then theres liters/100k and nm and ps god europe is damn confusing. And i say that with full knowledge the imperial system is flawed but at least the entire United States uses one standard i would think Europe would be the same (i know its a country vs a continent)
How about you buy a Toyota Avensis and live like a normal peasent for a change?? You must really be getting sick of just buying whatever supercar you want without blinking an eye. 😂
Wait for updated RS6. Just hope Audi equipe it in a bigger tank. In meantime porsche should reveal new panamera gts. However not sure if in sportursimo version.
We get it, the RS6 used to have no competitors and now it does 😉 just kidding James, keep on grinding out them vids man.
If you're shopping for a GTC4 just save TONS of money and buy an FF (except lower tech) but better looking
Practicality and sportiness combined together to create the ultimate but perfect ride experience wherever your senses and nerves take you. I'd put my money on the Aston Martin Rapide S since the company has planned on going public for the first time on the LSE.
RS 6 ..........what a fantastic car! Stay with it! Enjoyed your video. Thanks James! 😃
James, as a real British gentlemen, I think you should consider the new Jaguar XF-RS wagon when it comes out!!! The last gen was a real powerhouse, sounded mega and it also had a lot of space!!!
Having had my RS6 performance for about a year now I actually miss my e63s saloon idk there is something about it that was so much better for me. Maybe it’s the fact that my rs6 was stolen 3 days into ownership 😂
Thinking about doing a drinking game while watching James's videos. Have a shot every time he says "gearbox" :)))
i think that audi and probably merc and the rest, in their RS and equivalent cars will be going hybrid due to the new emissions regulations and controls
edit: in reference to your car.. take it to ABT and juice it up.. remember the change on your s1
James - keep checking your channel for your TDF content! Patiently waiting ......
My cars breakdown when I talk about replacing them in the same vicinity 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
