No automaker seems more committed to the idea of the performance wagon than Audi. The German marque has been building the kind of longroofs enthusiasts lust after since the 1980s. There’s no model that better fits this bill stateside right now better than the RS 6 Avant Performance. Not only is it an Audi that looks sharp, but it’s also powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that generates a brutish 621 hp and 627 ft lbs of power. Thanks to all that oomph, which is routed to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, the wagon can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and hit a top speed of 155 mph, two numbers that help explain why it costs over $125,000.
