The 3.3-second time 0-60 of the Audi RS 6 Avant may be a previously unimaginable feat for a station wagon, but in the world of German four-wheel-drive performance cars, it’s the expectation. Porsche, Audi’s former rival at Le Mans, makes two of these cars, each with the Turbo S brand name. You can see where that goes.

Motorsport magazine brought the RS 6 onto a track to take on Porsche’s Taycan Turbo S and the 992 generation S. 911 Turbo S. A competition between a performance wagon, a fully electric sedan and a sports car with a half-century legacy It may seem strange, but they are the closest rivals to each other: Grand Tourers with four-wheel drive from the same company that provide completely different ideas of how performance and luxury are together.
RS 6 can be fast, but the results are not surprising. Taycan leaves early, while 911 and RS 6 stay together at the start. Almost immediately, the 911 is balanced, and the race between the two Porsches looks a lot like the last time someone faced the 911 Turbo S and Taycan Turbo S face to face. The 911 Turbo S completes the 0.62-mile race in 18.9 seconds on an unprepared surface, beating the Taycan, which marks the speed of 19.7 seconds. The Audi is a little slower than any Porsche, ending with 21.3 seconds.
The RS 6 is fast, but keeping up with Porsche’s big luxury cars is no easy task for any car with the amenities and cargo space needed for a luxury station wagon. Of course, if winning a 911 Turbo S in a drag race is a requirement for your station wagon, the aftermarket already has a solution for you.
