The Audi A6 is supposed to be a practical, spacious and refined mid-size car for the businessman. However, somewhere along the line, somebody got the crazy idea that it should be able to outrun a Ferrari. And so, the RS6 was born.
Even though it's only available as a barge-like Avant with a cavernous boot, most owners treat their Rennsport wagons as if they were supercars, embellishing them with carbon fiber and all sorts of features, not to mention tuning the engines to ridiculous levels.
We've recently discovered something that's cooler than concave wheels and KW suspension put together. It's a "quattro" logo lighting unit offered by German company called Neidfaktor. It costs €700, which is peanuts compared to what the RS6 fetches and will light up the night.
The lighting system is installed behind the existing factory quattro logo and can be activated via a separate remote. Because nothing says "look at my Audi" more than a big quattro logo that you can randomly switch on...
Some people don't like the quattro logo in the lower front grille because it's too large. This is probably why Audi offers the delete as a no-cost option. But if Mercedes has an LED-backlit star logo, why should Audi be allowed to show pride in its heritage?
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
