Just two cars had worn it previously the RS2 and RS4, both sold only as estates.The C5" RS6 was sold as both a saloon and Avant, though fast Audis have always been intrinsically linked with the latter body style. In this model"s case, you can possibly thank pre-Bond Daniel Craig in Layer Cake for that.It was a perfect bit of car casting for a cool gangster type, a hugely characterful and quite naughty car clothed in a crisp, subtle body. A whole 14 years after its introduction, we"d argue this RS6 is more appealing than ever.And with prices of good C5s starting at 10,000 about the same as speccing ceramic brakes on a new Audi RS6 it looks temptingly attainable, too. Read on to see if you should resist or not
