Well, but then we come to the most important thing on autobahns: elasticity of the engine etc…

In my opinion, very subjective (because I've never driven such a car), all these heavy machine are perfect and build for the autobahn and long distances of travelling.
Well, nevertheless, a less powerful A6 3.0 TDI can do the same and probably it is faster, because you don't have to get new fuel after every 300 km… …in everyday life, datas like 0 - 100 km/h became irrelevant…

Cross the RS6 rear, and the front of the C63 and you got yourself the most beautiful car in the world

The RS6 is only a disappointment if you had the wrong expectations... it was never going to be something else than what it turned out to be.

And... Driver's Republic showed the RS6 to be 3 seconds quicker around Silverstone than the bemusingly understeery C63 AMG wagon. Go check out the latest video. For 2025 kg the lard-ass RS6 still can put some serious grip down to tarmac.

No one ought to believe that the RS6 isn't flawed but that's quite different from labeling it a disappointment. Disappointment arises only when expectations aren't met and that begs the question: what were you realistically expecting?

I have seen that . I don't understand what you are referring to? You mean the start from behind, when the RS6 launches AFTER the C63?
