Audi RS6 Avant

By Vikrant Singh24 Sep 2015

A superhero. The saviour of the downtrodden. The model every Estate (or stationwagon) had been praying for. This is the Audi RS6, the Iron Man of Estates. Just like one Mr Stark has made the whole Avengers series more desirable and watchable, the new RS6 will attempt to give the flop, which is the Estate body style in India, a shot at success.
