Lovely car, lovely colour, probably not a lovely price?
One thing though, this video is far too professional for a blogger, I'm guessing either Audi helped with providing extra footage for the shoot (like Rolls Royce did) of Mr JWW has somehow got a full crew to help with his blogging these days.
Would love one of these, in a few years time, used, hopefully not abused.

you want to see there own car collection mate, pretty impressive.
Yup, seen them and lots more it's hard to keep up and frankly not really bothered, all these fantastic cars are wasted on these tools, they are not like us normal folks, even if I had the money would hate to be viewed and categorised with JWW and Smheeeeeeee and all the rest of them, .....and my car collection would be far better than theirs IMHO!
Fair point..
Apparently Archie Hamilton the k.. of clickbait might be getting one too (saw the, thumbnail not the video).
It is now off my list of potential replacements for the RS3 in a year or two... so an RS6 performance, with a nice shouty exhaust is back on it then
Got blitzed by a Riviera Blue one on the way back from work this week, it sounded apocalyptic
Rumour is that future EU noise regs are forcing manufacturers to silence the cars with Audi getting there already eg before they really need to. Shame as RS cars should be "furious" on the move rather than whimpering along.

Regs are sometimes usually put in place to protect smaller businesses. I'd have said any reg changes are more to do with the manufacturers taking business away from the motor-sport parts manufacturers. Remember the problems Microsoft had putting upgrades onto Windows, like the Media Player and putting second sellers out of business, it was seen as anti-competition and they were fined for doing it in the end. You could make the same comparison with a volume car seller adding additional components to their cars which traditionally are sold by the likes of Miltek, ultimately it stifles the market. I think the sound element is BS.
So if the new regulation means that they can't put them on new cars, it would explain the tie into Akrapovic by Audi Sport, might also explain why the RS6 exhaust is the only one on the market to buy at the moment, via the dealer and not factory fit. Thing is, Audi could provide it at sale, what is the difference... it means the buyer has to get the standard exhaust from the manufacturer and then pay a second time for the upgraded exhaust, its a double win for Audi, not the customer in any way, shape or form. That makes it a stupid EU law in that sense, it supports business, not the consumer.
To be honest, I still find it odd that almost one year on Audi haven't released the Akrapovic TTRS exhaust.
