If there’s one thing Audi seems to have been excellent at in recent years, it’s exhaust notes. The latest RS4 Avant sings one of my favourite automotive tunes ever – in none other than a relatively unassuming wagon! So when I stumbled across this short video of the new RS6, I was pleased to find that Audi has got yet another hit on their hands.

The old RS6 had a pretty impressive rumble itself, coming from a twin-turbo 5.0L V10. But the new model carries a 4.0L V8, and I was a bit worried that the engine switch may have resulted in a loss of some aural magic. As you’ll see in the video below though, the new car has done quite the opposite – it’s an absolutely epic improvement.
