Audi RS6 Avant For Sale - £17,990

We are pleased to offer this rare cult classic, 86,000 mile, Audi C6 RS6 Avant.

The C6-generation Audi RS6 represents Audi at the height of its success and demonstrates a level of excess we haven’t seen since. These were the days when a sensible manufacturer decided to put a twin-turbocharged 5.0-litre V10 engine, producing 571bhp, into their mid-sized estate cars. And the results are just wonderful!

With circa 8,000 believed to be produced globally these cars were a rare site from day 1, but have become increasingly hard to find as time has gone on. It has become particularly hard to find well maintained, standard, cars as as the drivetrain is so unstressed many have been tuned to produce much higher horsepower figures and change the character of the original car.

First registered in April 2008, this RS6 has had seven previous owners and has been with the current owner for almost 2 years. During that time it has been used sparingly for sunny days, shows and events. Presented in Daytona Grey with black door mirror caps and roof rails, as well as a black front grille and Audi logos, wheels and window surrounds. The interior is trimmed in black leather with Recaro front seats, embossed ‘RS6’ lettering on the seat backs, and gloss carbon-fibre and aluminium trim inlays. The specification includes:

  • front and rear parking sensors

  • a multifunction flat-bottom steering wheel

  • cruise control

  • automatic headlights

  • dual-zone automatic climate control

  • a built-in media system with satellite navigation

  • electrically adjustable heated front seats

  • heated rear seats

  • BOSE surround sound system

  • soft-close doors and powered tailgate. 

The car comes with a well stamped service booklet, all the owner’s manuals, and a large folder of maintenance invoices, MOT certificates, and sales invoices. The car was MOT’s in January of this year at 86,000 miles and passed first time with no advisories. The most recent routine maintenance was carried out in March 2023 at around 83,000 miles by Thames Valley Racing. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the starter motor, front brake discs and pads, headlamp lenses, brake fluid, and the intercooler pipes. Prior to this, the car was serviced by Daniel James Performance Cars, including the replacement of the steering rack and the shock absorbers. 

Fast, discrete and rare, these RS6, particularly in Avant form, have developed a cult and provide a reminder of the way supersaloons used to be designed...large capacity engines, lots of power, fabulous handling and muscular styling. It is a cliche, but they just don't make them like this anymore.
