The car looks very interesting, the interior is beautiful and the car itself also looks more special than the old one.
Only downside is the rear, not a fan of that silver trim, I hope you can get it in black or maybe with a carbon inlay of some sorts (see photo).
The sound isn't that bad either...not sensational though (RS exhaust is a must, sounds deeper).
Performance isn't stellar but OK, the upcoming Performance version will close the gap to the new M5 and E63.
Pricing will be interesting (rumored base price in Germany is around 125k).
Ceramic brake discs in the front have 440 mm size, in the rear 370 mm, quite impressive.

Agree on the silver trim on the rear. It kinda looks like there will be a black optics, shadow, whatever Audi calls it trim package. Maybe it's just the rendering, but the badging is much darker as well as the trim.
I'm just not a fan of the looks of the E63 wagon, and as a long time Audi fan the RS6 appeals to my soul.
hunterone:I want a "normal" car as im quite done with SUVs. Not sporty enough with the high center of gravitiy and also less weight that moves arround, but for sure the RS6 isnt light either.
I thought so as well, this is why I got the E63 but after driving the Urus...I don't know. Maybe the RS Q8 will have a different chassis setup but the Urus really feels like a (heavier) sports car, unbelievable. Of course this is the magic of electronics and specific hardware to provide this illusion but it works pretty well.

Too bad that Audi discontinued their Euro Delivery program. Don't know where you'd enjoy a 190mph wagon in the US...

Some Pics from the configurator (only minor difference to the pics are that the side insert is silver an not black):
the demand for this car is very high. They get 6 car orders per day only from Austria. With today the delivery is expected beginning of April.
I would wait...after a year or so, the really good offers will kick in, especially after the RS Q8 shows up.

it highlights how vulgar modern car design has become, imo... Look at the C5 RS6, how understated they once were.
