2023 Audi RS6 Vorsprung

The RS6 Vorsprung represents the most completely specified iteration of Audi's performance estate, adding the sport differential, ceramic brakes, panoramic sunroof, Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, and carbon fibre mirror housings to the already substantial RS6 baseline. This example goes further still with Carbon Twill inlays and RS Brakes with gloss red calipers — the latter a visual punctuation mark that works well against the Mythos Black Metallic finish.

The interior specification is worth noting in its own right: Cognac Brown Valcona leather with Granite Grey stitching is a warm, considered contrast to the dark exterior, and reads as a deliberate factory choice rather than a default. At 16,000 miles from a 2023 '73'-plate registration, the car has barely been exercised — a degree of freshness that's unusual for an estate used as a daily driver.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mild hybrid produces 600PS through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive, reaching 62mph in 3.6 seconds. Full service history is present.
