Is rarity worth an extra $100,000? That's not the only difference between the RS6 Avant GT and its lesser sibling, the RS6 Performance. The GT is a new, special, uber-wagen from Audi, one that's been tweaked and tuned in several places in the hope that it feels unique and special. Does it?

@@matmul4850 I own a 2023 RS6. The RS6 GT is literally the same car with some carbon fiber body panels, wheels, and stickers. Not worth $100k (MSRP) over the base RS6. $20-30k more would have been a much more respectable pricing point, and I guarantee Audi would have made money. I am a huge Audi fan, but I am not going to sit here and simp over "R&D" costs for a multi billion dollar company who charges $900 for alignments at the dealership.

I actually love this thing. People aren't paying that premium for good value, they're paying to have the most-special edition that they''ll never see anyone else driving. I read somewhere that there was a livery delete option, and I hope at least for the US market that's offered. Unlike the 911R situation years ago, this thing would still be immediately identifiable without the loud decals and would maintain at least a modicum of the sleeper charm that makes RS6's so appealing.

For my money, I'm going to buy a car that gives me everything that I am looking for (or most of the things if I can't find everything). If it's rare, well then I hope I can afford it. If it's not rare then I guess I get to save a lot of money.

While I don't doubt that the GT has some advantages over the Avant Performance, I'm betting you can make your $100K go a bit further on a smartly modified Performance. Sure, it won't be a "1-of-85" collector car, but do you wanna collect it in a garage, or do you wanna drive it?

I’m not going to act like can justify the $100k mark up, but I will offer an argument in favor of the RS6 GT… The M4 CSL 3.0. It retailed for $750k, for with only three benefits over the regular CSL, its manual (same transmission as the base M4), its limited production and it has bespoke body panels all included in the $600k price bump and people loved it. 🤷‍♂️

It's a paradox. You would really only get this for the rarity, not to throw bags of potting soil or wet ski boots into the back of a future collector's vehicle. And if you can afford this car, there's a good chance you already have a Range Rover, Suburban, LX600, some utilitarian vehicle already in the garage.

> purely due to fashion - Personally, I think the fast wagon is the fashion statement. The only reason to buy one it to look cool to other car guys. Crossovers are NPC cars that people buy because they are NPC cars. No one rolling around in a Rav4 expects a compliment on it. This thing is a 5000lb luxury car. The skid pad and braking numbers (0.94g, 170ft 70-0) are pretty meh for a performance car, and terrible for a performance car in that $120k price range. And if you use the wagon for wagon things, then it's going to always be full of crap that will roll around in the hatch if you try to drive enthusiastically. So these things suck as performance cars. And who wants to tear up their $120k luxury car by hauling plywood or mulch? Or even park a nice car in a hardware store parking lot to be hit by roll away carts (happened to me several times)? For the same price, you can get an A6 to daily with $30-40k left over for a proper sports car. Which is exactly why these things don't sell very much - it makes so much more sense to buy a reliable, basic-ass utility vehicle that you can drive through the snow or park on a city street without worrying, then keep a sports car for those nice days.
