A brown wagon with an automatic transmission doesn’t sound very exciting, but that all changes when the wagon in question is none other than the mighty Audi RS6 Avant. One of the fastest family cars money can buy looks desirable in just about any color we can think of, and this Ipanema Brown shade is quite desirable in terms of desirability.
It’s an expensive € 2,900 ($ 3,400) home option in Germany, but when you’re already paying well in six figures, what’s a few thousand dollars more? Motor1.com friend Auditography had the chance to have a good time with the brown wagon while photographing the RS6 in Warsaw, Poland. Equipped with the more expensive Black Optic pack, the larger of Audi’s two Speed Avant looks great with its unusual color complemented inside by Cognac Brown leather upholstery.

Crossovers and SUVs might be all the rage these days, but we’d take a fast wagon in the blink of an eye, especially if it has an unusual color like it does with the RS6. That being said, it’s not perfect as the car is a European spec model meaning it is fitted with a soft limiter and a gasoline particulate filter to comply with the strict regulations on shows. This dampens the wild soundtrack normally provided by the twin-turbo V8 through RS-specific oval tailpipes.
While the super wagon was in stock at the time of filming, we were told its owner subjected it to a Stage 1 air. The 4.0-liter engine now develops 728 horsepower and 981 Newton-meters (724 pounds). -foot) of torque. That’s quite the bump on a stock RS6 (591 hp & 800 Nm / 590 lb-ft) and should translate into supercar acceleration levels.
We have yet to see its big rival – the redesigned Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon – in special colors, and we’re pretty sure fans of high-performance wagons would love to see a BMW M5 Touring painted in an individual color. In the meantime, Audi is selling the RS6 in some pretty wild colors including Goodwood Green, Coral Orange, Citrus Yellow and Camouflage Green.
