A wagon AND a supercar??? The Audi RS6

What's up Throttle? Do you want to check out a supercar slaying wagon? Well keep on watching as today you're in for a ride. Hi, I'm Nadine, the co-founder of Throttle and today I'm in London with my buddy Matt. Hi there, I'm Matt and this is my 2015 Audi RS6, the supercar slaying wagon. Tell me a little bit about some of the changes that you've made here. I can see that you've kept the car really clean, but what have you done especially here in the front? Yeah, so the whole build we've tried to keep it clean. So what we did, we took from stock from factory the grilles around the grille and the badges which were all chrome and colour matched the body just to really keep the aggressive stance but also try and keep it clean and then keep that sleeper look that I really like. So the front splitter which is just down at the bottom is from again we've kept stock just because it has real function so the rear diffuser front splitter all have function on this car. But what I have done as well is just to really cap off the kind of black kind of look is smoke out the lights and smoke out the number plate just to really kind of keep it with that clean kind of black look. And then coming around here looking at the wheels, these look larger than the stock version aren't they? Yeah, so these are the uprated 21-inch alloys which they're again chrome black and I really like these because they really show off the massive brakes on this which again for people who know, they know this car is quick and it needs brakes to kind of keep it stopping. So one thing that I've noticed just looking at the car is that there's a gorgeous type of glitter coming off of it and I don't know if it's because the sun is hitting it or what did you do to it? Yeah, so the paint's stock from factory and it's called Panther Black and it has got that kind of crystal fleck in it but what I've done since I've owned the car is spent months restoring the paintwork because for me the paintwork is one of the like really spectacular things in this car and you're right, in different sunlight it'll look purple, it'll look black, it'll glitter, it'll look really flat when there's no sun, it's a really amazing paintwork. Wow, okay. So it's a 4-litre bi-turbo which basically means the turbos work together and what it means is that the torque on this is insane. Okay, alright. Now I think running just shy of 600 brake horsepower, 0-60 in about three and a half seconds. Okay, so when we think about a wagon, we think it's a dad's car, it's not going to go that fast. So I'm guessing that you're at a stoplight, you're looking at maybe an Aston Martin or something and you can actually take that on, can't you? 911s, Aston Martins, you know, even stuff like the Maserati. And then the pops and the crackles is coming because you've done what to the exhaust? Yeah, so we've just changed the downpipes and then made some modifications to the back boxes and the valves to really give it that kind of perfect V8 noise that it deserved from the factory. So are you going to do any Stage 1 tuning to this? What's your plan? Yeah, I think probably the next stage is to Stage 1 and then maybe look at lowering it as well because I think then to really give it that kind of stance that I think it deserves. Okay, cool. Wow, so I love the stitching, first of all. Yeah, it's all stock, it's all fairly classic Audi RS. So RS badges, the honeycombed quilted leather with the contrast stitching and then the uprated carbon fibre on the inside. So the first owner, he must have done some upgraded packages by the look of it. Yeah, I think he spent probably £25,000 over the base price on the options for this car and that's really what I was looking for when I was buying this was I wanted very specific spec and this guy got it just right, so thank you to him. So Matt, how did you get into cars? I think probably like a lot of people, it was my dad and watching BTCC, which if you're in the UK, you know it's touring cars, but for me, seeing these sort of sedans and cars you'd see normally on the road kind of hooning it around tracks really hooked me. Like for me, the Audi RS6 is always kind of the car. It's just so ridiculous, why should an estate, family estate car be able to do what it does? And I was kind of hooked the moment I saw it. Okay, so is this one your daily driver? No, and people think I'm pretty crazy about that. I actually daily a Range Rover, which I kind of pile a lot of miles onto and this is like my weekend car. Well, normally you would think it'd be the other way around. The Range Rover would be the weekend, you know, going to the countryside type of car. Yeah, exactly, but no, for me, just such a classic shape. I love the advanced style, I love how aggressive it is and I just love the ridiculousness of an estate car that can do what it can do. Okay, so you go to car meets. Do you do any car shows or join any groups like Audi groups? Yeah, so I joined Club Audi, which is probably the biggest Audi group in the UK and we kind of meet up, so a couple of months. I go into Super Scramble at Vista, which is a great, great event, but also kind of a member of South East Supercar Club, which is kind of a bunch of owners who got together and kind of just go out for a drive and just try and enjoy our cars. Okay, so where do you like to take the Audi? So I guess, you know, for me, it's about the countryside roads near where we live, you know, that's what Quattro is all about. You know, the traction, the ability to kind of get around corners and carry speed through corners. It's just a great car to drive technically. Thanks, Matt. I had such a fun time in your cool dad car today. How can people keep in touch with you?
