Audi RS6 Avant

The C7-generation RS6 Avant remains one of the most convincing all-weather fast estates ever built, and this 2018 car makes a strong case for itself. Beneath the bonnet sits the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 — not the V10 of earlier generations — producing 552 bhp and 700 lb-ft of torque, sent through quattro AWD to cover 0-60 in 3.8 seconds while the limiter holds the top speed at 155 mph. The Sepang Blue paint, a factory option, sets it apart from the more common Nardo Grey and Mythos Black examples on the market.

The options list is well-chosen rather than exhaustive. Dynamic Steering and Sports Exhaust both meaningfully change how the car drives, adding feedback and a more purposeful soundtrack, while the Gloss Black Styling Package and red brake calipers give the exterior some visual sharpness. Inside, the Head-Up Display, heated front and outer rear seats, and the multi-function heated sports steering wheel with shift paddles round out a cabin that needs little added to it.

At 45,307 miles across eight years, this is a representative mileage for a car that often serves as a daily driver — used, but not hard-used. The combination of Sepang Blue, Sports Exhaust, and Dynamic Steering makes this a more involving spec than a standard RS6 and worth seeking out at this price point.
