Audi RS 6 Avant: A wild, wicked wonder of a wagon

Singapore

FIRST off, let's get the familiar trope that's typically trotted out about high performance Audi RS wagons out of the way. In case you haven't noticed, this big bad wolf isn't dressed in anything remotely resembling sheep's clothing.

If anything, the RS 6 Avant (Avant is Audi-speak for estate or station wagon) puts the "beast" in "beast of burden". Behold how the styling overtures are unapologetically big, bold and brash. And looking at the oversized flares over its 22-inch rims, it's like 70s fashion never went out of style. Just glancing at the Audi gave me disco fever.
