Based on the regular A6, the brawny Audi RS 6 brings a stealthy, understated quality that Audi does really rather well. From the power-bulge bonnet to the wider arches filled with satisfyingly large alloys, it offers a high level of sophistication to go with the huge power on offer.

What is the Audi RS 6 like inside?

The interior of the Audi RS 6 follows that of the regular A6 and is filled with various screens. A central touchscreen predominantly controls the sat-nav and audio settings, while the screen below looks after the climate control. We’d prefer physical controls to make it easier to adjust simple things such as the temperature while driving, but the screen does at least offer haptic feedback to give you some idea you’ve actually made an adjustment.

Heated RS sport seats trimmed in Valcona leather are standard, along with matt-brushed aluminium inlays around the cabin and four-way climate control.

The Performance Carbon Black edition adds carbon-fibre exterior styling, black interior trim and 22-inch wheels, while the Performance Carbon Vorsprung model brings gloss-black exterior accents, a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera, a head-up display and a B&O premium sound system.

What is the interior quality like?

The regular Audi RS 6 Avant is well-equipped and comes with the usual quality touches you’d expect from an Audi. All the surfaces you come into contact with regularly are of excellent quality - just as well, considering that the RS 6 starts at well over £100,000 these days.

Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment

Twin touchscreens give access to the sat-nav system and other menus. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are all built-in. The equipment list continues with Audi’s virtual cockpit featuring a special design, specific to RS models, for its 12.3-inch instrument display, while there's also a premium 10-speaker stereo, wireless phone charging and Audi Connect music service with 3-year subscription as standard.
