2022 Audi RS6 Avant Carbon Black

The RS6 Avant Carbon Black is one of the more cohesive ways to specify Audi's performance estate — the darkened exterior treatment works particularly well against the red-gloss brake calipers fitted here, a combination that sharpens the car's look without resorting to a louder body colour. Under the bonnet is Audi's 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 592bhp and 800lb-ft of torque, channelled through quattro four-wheel drive and a Tiptronic automatic gearbox. The 0–62mph time of 3.6 seconds is genuinely quick for an estate of this size and usability.

This 2022 example has covered just 24,519 miles, which is low for a car now four years old and suggests light use — likely a secondary vehicle or limited daily driving. The specification includes RS Steel brakes with red-gloss calipers and a Rear Sports Exhaust System in black, both performance and appearance-focused additions that complement the Carbon Black pack. Inside, the RS-specific Virtual Cockpit with its 12.3-inch display and head-up display round out a well-equipped cabin.

At £77,795, this sits at the sharper end of the used RS6 market for a car with this mileage and trim level. The Carbon Black edition commands a modest premium over standard RS6 Avants, and the factory options here add genuine visual and functional value.
