Now they just need to bring Avant back to the US and I might actually care about Audi again....

Your wish has been granted! Audi announced that the 2020 R6 Avant will come to the US. 591hp. Time to shop that extra kidney around...

I put a placeholder down for one today.

Mainly because of the way not looks and in the hope they make a more powerful performance trim.

I'm actually surprised that although this is a newer car, it comes in below the power numbers of both he E63S and M5, the former which is a couple years old already and will be three years by the time the Avant hits the streets. Usually manufacturers push the ball forward with performance but for some reason Audi hasn't. Maybe they figure it's enough but that's not how these things work. From what I can tell it also doesn't offer AWD to 2WD uncoupling which both its competitors do, and that is a really cool feature that I've used on both my E63S wagon and my M5C.

Anyhoot, the car is still a year away from US deliveries so I'll decide on whether to keep the allocation based on info as it comes in.

This is the Urus motor and will likely make Urus-ish power in the performance model. So rad. May finally be time to have a wagon in my life. These things were the Kong’s of the autobahn in Germany.

Journalists mention there is something similar to drift mode, maybe it's the RS2 mode that affects ESC.
