2020 Audi RS6 Avant (C8)

Audi RS 6 Avant Johann Abt Signature Edition Cranks Out 800 HP (596 KW)

The German tuning company we know as ABT Sportsline is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a limited edition variant of the new Audi RS 6 Avant and it is quite the monster.

It celebrates the life and work of Johann Abt, the blacksmith and hill-climbing racer who founded the company 125 years ago. Each model will feature a time capsule with a fragment of his original anvil.

The Johann Abt Signature Edition delivers no less than 800 hp (596 kW) and 979 Nm (722 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the wagon to sprint to 100 km/h in a radical 2.9 seconds.

They are only going to make 64 examples of this brute and if you are reading this, you are too late as all units are already spoken for.

Estate of the nation: Audi RS6 Avant vs Panamera Turbo S and AMG E63 S

With a combined 2000 horses and room for one more in the back, which of these three lusty luxury load-luggers does it best?

And then there’s the Porsche’s price. At £142,350, it costs about £40,000 more than the Audi and Mercedes. Of course, company car users laugh all the way to the bank thanks to its low benefit-in-kind tax, but is the fleet user-chooser this car’s target market?

In the final reckoning, it just slips to last spot on the podium, being not only pricier but also less practical and not quite as incisive when you’re in the mood for going hard. It’s a good advert for our electrified future, but here and now it just misses out.

If you want a car that slips effortlessly into your everyday life but can put the frighteners on a supercar, then the Audi is in a class of one. It is the most comfortable and easy-going, yet now has more dynamism and agility than you would believe of an RS6. Objectively, it’s the best car here. Yet it’s not our winner. Nearly, but not quite.

The Mercedes is harder work (although it’s still as easy to live with as any E-Class), but put in the effort and its rewards are richer. It’s as devastatingly fast across the ground as the RS6, yet happier to let you in on the action and make you part of the process. The fact that the E63 S is also the best estate helps put the result beyond doubt.
