Holy moly. Despite the fact that Audi first released details on its 2013 RS6 Avant back in December, we're still just as smitten with it now as we were a couple months ago. And why wouldn't we be? This stunning piece of forbidden fruit combines two of our favorite things: fast Audis and useful wagons.

The meat and potatoes behind the RS6 Avant is its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, tuned to crank out 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the all-wheel-drive wagon can scoot to 60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 155 mph. Opting for the Dynamic package ups that v-max to 174 mph, and selecting the Dynamic Plus pack increases that even further to 190 mph.

This RS6 Avant certainly looks the part of an extreme ***-hauler, fitted with the usual RS-spec gaping air intakes, 21-inch wheels, sport exhaust and carbon fiber ceramic brakes. Combine all that goodness with dynamic ride control, an adaptive air suspension and torque-vectoring Quattro all-wheel drive, and we have no doubt that this thing will scare off every other station wagon in the parking lot. (Well, except maybe that Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Woof.)

lol, I am looking at one right now lol, I used to work for audi in 2001, now I work next door to the same dealer (their new location). So, I see all the smiling faces everyday over there. Did you know that audi techs get paid less than any other company out there? yeah in the year I been working here 5 techs quit due to not getting paid enough. I think the last guy (with 2 years in that company) was making #13.5 an hour, and they charge $180 an hour for service, liol.

560hp outta that little 4.0 nice. Will miss the sounds of that sonorous bi-turbo V10 571hp of the last RS6 though
