+Jordan Erickson I mean, the price you pay for an Audi it better be built with quality and good looking. I own a B5 A4 and its held up well, but its unfair to compare Audi to ALL American car makers when there is really only one (Cadillac) that is a direct competitor and makes cars as expensive as Audi.
+KoNLaR Where the fuck is the owner, I loved listening to what the owner has to say. Literally the worst review ever, 1/19, unsubscribed, disliked. Hurr durr, I am an angry commenter that needs to complain
+KoNLaR Sad thing is, is that a lot of owners probably see the comments and dont want to be shown or possibly not want to show their car based on the idiot trolls.
Greetings from germany. Once, I was a co-driver in a 2015 Audi RS6 Avant. It was a great joy, extremly fast for such a heavy car and so practically. A shame that they are not sold in U.S.
As an owner of a 16 S6 with similar work done to it, I can tell you that the car DOES NOT HAVE SPRINGS. I lowered the car via the factory air suspension, and the car does handle better. In terms of exhaust, I did downpipes but chose to leave the factory sport exhaust. It is loud under WOT with dynamic mode/trans in sport, but in auto or comfort, it is super quiet. I plan on adding exhaust cutouts soon for that "fuck you" noise that I desire once in awhile.
Hands down my favourite car still, years after seeing this video the first time. I have a 400-450hp APR stg2 A6 and saving for an S6. An S6 at stage 2, with RS turbo on it (a legit option supported by APR), make 600hp/617tq on 91, 634hp/671tq on 94 gas (what I would do), and peak 707/714 on race gas!! That's the same power as a Hellcat !!!
As an owner of an s6. The biggest insult the car ever gets from others is “it’s a dad car” “ it’s to heavy to perform or compete” I’ve driven a m4 an m3 a c63s and many more cars that are lighter. It feels the same for majority of the ride. Like you said extremely light on its feet. It may be heavier but it doesn’t feel that way. And when you push it up to big numbers it can do more than compete
The DSG box has torque limiters for each gear which is why it upshifted early even in manual mode, you can have the DSG box remapped to change the rev limiter. When tuning things like the Golf R you usually tune the box when you do the engine but maybe if this tuned V8 engine was already pushing the gearbox anyway maybe better to have that margin of protection. That's said it is robbing you of some of that top end power.
I just bought a 2018 A6 and its such a comfortable vehicle to drive, and gorgeous to look at, as well. Doesn't have to be an S or RS for me, I just love how they look and make other people look 😉
Even badged mine is quite the sleeper since I make about 50whp more than this one. Get loads of sports cars trying to play and getting shut down real quick once I step on it haha
From the outside, that is easily one of the best sounding cars out there. It's strikes me as odd that when people list great-sounding engines, you almost never hear anyone bring up those fantastic Audi V8's.
What a beast! Sounds great, and drives the part too. Blending agility & ride quality, and authoritative loudness & quiet cruising isn't an easy feat. But by god, this S6 has done it! And it will only get better from there. My '89 Grand Marquis should be something like this 2 years from now speed-wise. An all aluminum 302 with forged everything should save me at least 150 pounds, while making more power, more reliable power, and more usable power than stock. Won't be making 520 at the wheels, but she'll only weigh some 3450 pounds without me in it. Not bad for old iron. :-) Brakes, chassis, and transmission needs to get done first though. 4R70W swap, poly everything, big brakes, etc.
That is a nice car, man. I'm really loving it, too. Huge step up from my old 1994 Mercedes C280 I drove years back. Both Euro luxury, but this S6 blows it out of the water in terms of power.
Never been in a car with a DSG so please don't hate. But here's a dumb question: If you come to a complete stop while still in 5th gear in manual mode, does the car shift back to 1st on its own?
Hey Mat can you tell me how does this drive compare to a f10 550i? I currently drive one but it feels like a big boat thinking about getting the s6 or s7 instead
+Big Boss i was just about to ask him to compare it to a M5 but that wouldn't be fair lol, but then again this is a Modded S6 its not stock, your 550i might be even better if you modified it
+Ghazi This s6 it's just simply a better car. Modding or not. 480hp stock, 563hp Apr stage 1 on 93 octane..this is faster even than the m5 , not even mentioning the 550i...I can tell you this pretty accurate since I own one, and before getting the s6 my other choice was a 650i Xd , which I test drive and really there is no comparison , s6 feels faster , have faster turbo response ,better cornering , feels lighter and better brakes . After test driving both cars deciding on the s6 was a easy decision
+Big Boss Get any , either s6 or s7 depending on your budget . I own a s6 , I also test drive a s7 before to buy this, I did't really felt any difference on how they drive but fo me since I was coming from a A7 3.0 Supercharged I didn't felt like getting exactly the same car just different engine , so I got the s6. Also , for me the s6 brings more of the technik style :)
The 1.8t was the deep Roots where all these new Audi motors came from. Where they learned how to make big torque out of small displacement efficiently.
♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) If you look closely, the owner of the car is back there and when he pans around the car, the owner hides behind the car lol
@TheSmokingTire considering APR makes and has done RS7/6 turbos swaps onto S7/6 models the dual clutch can most likely hold these lower levels of power.
6:30 @TheSmokingTire If you have it in drive and then you switch the gear stick to the right side, where it says +/-, it is not changing gears by it`s own. At least when I testdrove the TT, the RS3, RS6 and the SQ5 it was like that.
+xOOx465 My 2016 S6, in Dynamic Mode, Manual Shift does exactly the same thing - hammer it and it upshifts by itself. Need to spend some time with the manual to see why it is doing that - not what I would expect.
+Ian Findlay This is a gear box tune. You have to get a tune specifically for the DSG from one of the tuners for $1000 like APR and it will no longer do this. But its just a factory setting unfortunatly
Matt, traction control is keeping the rev locked a grand below where you want it... Disable it and it will not restrict you from go higher. Not sure why Audi chose to do that but its the same on the S4 and most of the s models in general. Nice review by the way
Great video Matt! I've really been feeling the S6's lately and this gave me a good idea on how to make mine. You should do a GT-R next ^_^ I really liked the Supercharged Acura Type-R AND the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo video. Thank you Matt for always delivering and making each video enjoyable for us to watch! I also haven't been feeling any BMW's because I feel like they've lost their excitement. To me they just seem like regular cars. I've never owned one so I wouldn't know.
The stock DSG box does automatic down and up shifts even in manual, which is a pain. The fix is a DSG remap, which can make the manual mode like an actual manual :)
Matt you are correct, the 520 hp to the wheels is pushing the limits of the reliability of the 7 spd DSG box. That's the rationale Audi is using for switching to the 8 spd tiptronic in the B9 S4
The carbon intake looks as though its slightly splitting at the seams at 0:37. Is it meant to be that way? Or is that merely a bracket for cables and wires for sensors?
There's a good reason for that,aftermarket ECU tunes can trigger a TD1 flag on the Audi computer which service technicians can check and void portions of the warranty. if your dad is not the racing type, tuning for additional power is not worth the hassle for him
Was it set to sport mode? Common mistake, but this is what would cause the car to shift on it's own before redline. I've driven S7's where even on automatic they go all the way to redline as long as sport mode is on if I recall correctly
+MrNanobot subaruwrxfan just posted an older S6 yesterday; same problem. From my forum perusal it looks like the auto-upshift cannot be disabled. Failitude IMO.
+TheSmokingTire Gearbox needs to be in M mode for you to have full control. Sport mode is like Porsche's sport PDK mode where it is just an aggressive shift mapping for the transmission, but you can still intervene with paddles in that mode too you just won't have full manual control.
Hey Matt & guys at the smoking tire, do you think you could include exhaust notes at the beginning of the video while doing the intro? tell what exhaust it is and a little rev or 2. just a suggestion I really love watching your videos! Thanks again!
+TheSmokingTire Thanks! Really looking forward to lots and lots of vids of your car! :D I want to get one of those and an audi rs6 avant if i can get one somehow into Canada
Check out Metcalf Road in San Jose, it connects to the San Felipe Road with great uphill and a ton of S curves . I am actually adjusting my suspension just for this road.
I noticed the AWE intake appears to be separated..the bolts don't look completely adjusted but then again you can see what looks like glue residue on the seems or lack of a gasket, AWE Quality control? Or Install error? Oh an what's with the fluid spill on the right side of the engine near the coolant reservoir?
Hi Matt, when are we the internet going to get to see either a one take or a full review of your R32 GTR? Or, are there some mods that are yet to be announced being done?
I can't tell if it's brilliant black or mythos black metallic?looks great either way. Love me a black vw/Audi. The paint quality is so much higher than American cars.
Audi/quattro GmbH also said the 5spd auto in the C5 RS6 was the only transmission that could handle the increased torque from the 4.2 biturbo; lo and behold the hundreds of broken trans and torque converters since then (at stock power levels, mind you)! I'm sure they'll find the limits of the dual clutch in the S6 soon enough. Speaking of transmissions, Matt Farah, when will we see your Vanquish?!
Needs an APR DSG tune to increase the red line, no auto up shift, and unlimited launches. I'm running the same setup outside of the springs and using an Akrapovic instead of AWE.
+TheSmokingTire I have a modified e90 335i with HPS Hawk track/comp street pads. Will the RBF600 fluid work well with the lightly modified brake situation I have? I added the BMW M Perfoemance Rotors and Calipers if that helps. I know most fluids are ok on street cars but wasn't sure if you run into a situation where you have to replace quicker etc. thanks Matt!
+THE TRUTH MACHINE Reking bullshitters everywhere! In car is recorded with a Zoom H4N, while drive by's are recorded with a GoPro on a gimbal. If you have high quality speakers you will notice this
Hi Mat,It would have been really nice to know the cost of modifications done to the car and where they got them. Even if it's just a small list of info in the description. Thank you
I am looking at two totally different cars on the aspect but since you have driven them both which car do you feel you would like to own more ? The audi s6 or the CLA 45 amg? I'm on the fence about both as my wife loves the AMG any input you have would be great
+dangerhighvoltages I checked the pictures on AWE's website to what it supposed to look like, it does indeed look like it's broken... The owner should check if it's still airtight as this allows dirt to be sucked in the engine. Also, there is an explosion of white goo on the other side of the engine as seen at 0:33, can't think of any fluid in the car that would leave that kind of a mark.
those diamond-stitch seats are stunning

Not really
Theyre prestige seats. Quite comfortable.

What did you use to lower your S6
The Transporter VCDS computer lowering and lowering links.
What about the manual mode shifting up?
How is it holding up?
thank you owner of the s6 for letting Matt drive it you have a amazing car! its beautifull machine stunning!
what a freaking beautiful car. can't go wrong here

a debadged modified S6 would make a great sleeper car! the 'non flared arches' add to the stealthiness compared to the RS6
that's the best part of the rs6...the flared arches. a car like this should never be lowered... it supposed to ride smooth and not bounce around
i like the flared arches on the RS6 too, i was just talking about from a stealth performance car perspective as the S6 looks very similar to an A6
If I'm not mistaken the Rs6 and S6 wheel arches are the same. In photos they don't look different other than the fact that the Rs6 is a Wagon.
+Tristan R nope the RS6 avant has flared arches, it's subtle but there
Even badged mine is quite the sleeper since I make about 50whp more than this one. Get loads of sports cars trying to play and getting shut down real quick once I step on it haha

This looks fast and also looks like it carries a lot of speed in the turns. Tight turn radius for the size of this car.
I would probably put the S6 among my favorite cars. Great power, balanced chassis.. and let's not forget Quattro AWD.
matt, i'm supposed to be doing homework and studying.
I've been watching one takes for the past week.
Keep up the awesome work!

Is it possible to get an exact exhaust system spec on this S6? This is by far the best exhaust sound I've heard on an S6.

Random question again lol but what kind of brake fluid do you use on your cars Matt?
RBF600
+TheSmokingTire The only proper answer!
+TheSmokingTire I have a modified e90 335i with HPS Hawk track/comp street pads. Will the RBF600 fluid work well with the lightly modified brake situation I have? I added the BMW M Perfoemance Rotors and Calipers if that helps. I know most fluids are ok on street cars but wasn't sure if you run into a situation where you have to replace quicker etc. thanks Matt!
+THE TRUTH MACHINE Reking bullshitters everywhere! In car is recorded with a Zoom H4N, while drive by's are recorded with a GoPro on a gimbal. If you have high quality speakers you will notice this
+TheEyedeaOfYou it should be fine yeah
Hi Mat,It would have been really nice to know the cost of modifications done to the car and where they got them. Even if it's just a small list of info in the description. Thank you
I am looking at two totally different cars on the aspect but since you have driven them both which car do you feel you would like to own more ? The audi s6 or the CLA 45 amg? I'm on the fence about both as my wife loves the AMG any input you have would be great
where in CA is the video taken? what canyon road

Airbox separate itself as seen at 0:35?
+dangerhighvoltages looks like expensive crap.
+dangerhighvoltages I checked the pictures on AWE's website to what it supposed to look like, it does indeed look like it's broken... The owner should check if it's still airtight as this allows dirt to be sucked in the engine. Also, there is an explosion of white goo on the other side of the engine as seen at 0:33, can't think of any fluid in the car that would leave that kind of a mark.
Miloš Marković it loses power with APR tune. He should have went with RoC-Euro. Has amazing whistle and blowoff valve-like noises
