German Car Zone

A smoking Audi RS 6 Avant was caught doing 213.8km/h on the A-49 stretch between Huelva and Seville in Spain. The driver was busy getting away from the long arm of the law, which in turn was keen on his load. Some law-enforcers spotted the big Audi carrying a number of rather suspicious-looking bags at the back. These could easily be seen through the clear windows.

Upon realising his steed was being closely examined, the driver planted his right foot on the floor, letting loose all power to reach a high of about 240km/h at some point. The agents of course gave chase for about 20km but could not catch the flying RS 6 with its 580 horses in full attendance.

Eventually the fleeing driver came up to some heavy traffic and could not exploit the car's engine anymore. So he got out and ran, on foot. It turns out he had quite a valid reason for his neck-breaking speed. A total of 27 bags of hashish weighing about 870kg (1,918 lbs) was confiscated from everywhere but the driver's side. The illegal cache's street value is estimated at €120,000 (US$180,500), about €10,000 less than a standard RS 6 Avant in Germany. The RS 6 driver was eventually apprehended.

Yeahhh Baby!

Couldn't do THAT in an M5

Pays good to be a drug dealer ehh..

Epic! Amazing advertising for Audi as it shows that the RS6 is excellent for cargo duties. 870kg is mad, that's like transporting 12.4 of me. Impressive although the RS6 has officially been killed as a stealthy drug dealers car now. Now watch the sales of the E63 Estate go up.

It would probably break the bespoke suspension. I guess there are no aptitude tests when applying to be a drug runner. But seriously why would you bring attention to yourself like this, buy a regular A6 or at least black out the windows.

This is what happens when you have Quattro.

this is beyond awesome, lol a brainless drug dealer with a good taste for cars.

He had the ultimate stealth car but blew it by driving stupidly fast and subsequently getting caught. Quite different from the normal successful druag baron who would have opted for a Cayenne or a murdered out Q7.

I guess he made a real hash out of that delivery. 870 kg! In an RS6. Stupid.

Load it in a white Ford Transit for heaven's sake.

Or the Q7 V12, if that car has a purpose, it would be for this.
