Performance wagons are like catnip to a lot of performance enthusiasts. First off, there's a wagon's combination of sedan-like driving dynamics and SUV-like utility, which is sort of like a best-of-both-worlds situation. Then you add in the fact that wagons are a rare sight these days. Oh, and a performance wagon? Even rarer. All of which leads us to the sublimely intriguing 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant.

Compared to an A6 sedan or the A6 Allroad wagon, the RS 6 Avant gets a major power upgrade in the form of a twin-turbocharged 591-horsepower 4.0-liter V8. Mash the gas and this hot-rod wagon rips from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Audi's engineers also went over the entire car front to back. Highlights include a special adaptive air suspension, grippier tires, more powerful brakes, flared fenders and sport front seats.

The RS 6 only has a few direct rivals. The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S wagon is the clearest competitor and similar in price, overall performance, features, and passenger and cargo space. The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is another alternative, though you should expect to pay significantly more if you want one of the V8-powered variants. So is this new Audi RS 6 Avant for you?
