Dam I cannot find photos online...

Last month in Classic Cars UK they had a Station Wagon made in the 60s with a Rolls Royce engine form a fighter plane. It was ugly as could be and had something like 1000-2000 hp.

I owned an Audi S6 wagon. It would haul ass, but was a real high-maintenance *****. Had to get rid of it once the warranty was gone

It's quite easy to bring it over 700hp, so you have a station wagen which might kill a Ferrari on the Autobahn.

Presumably some euro mag ran this Audi on a rainy day in the twisties as part of a group of haul-ass cars. It destroyed eveything from Ferrari on down

Last time I rode in a bad ass Audi, it had a turbo V8. The vehicle happened to be sales manager's demo which the rat bastard wouldn't let me drive.
I recall the most horrible (even by German standards) leather, and seats filled with what felt like wet cement

All of that for nearly $90K !
BTW, should this new RS6 make it to our shores - you can forget ceramic brakes or Recaros.
Zee German marketing types tend to feel American buyers won't be willing to cough up extra 4-figures for those sorta options

I don't know about now, since I drive a Saab these days (need something discreet...), but the high priced Audis (A8/S8) back in the days sold for $10-15k off the sticker. I would anticipate an extremely limited supply+close to sticker prices, if this wagon ever makes it to the US.

It is in limited supply in this market with a waiting list as for the c63. But when you get a car like that you wont like stock
