|The German tuner’s extreme RS6 proves that even perfection can be pushed too far — but hints at what a balanced version could achieve.

The Audi RS6 is one of the most impressive cars on the market. It’s surprising that, not only has it not been pulled from sale, but it’s received a second generation. It’s the rare enthusiast car that meets all the needs of the car enthusiast — a fast, powerful, and stylish wagon that is also a commercial success. And it makes sense. Compared to a high-end SUV, the RS6 is faster, more comfortable, and also more spacious.
