Most Audi Most German cars are offered in very monotonous tones of black, grey and silver. It all has to do with resale value, as the people calling the shots believe nobody will want a second-hand Golf or A3. But that's simply not the case when you're talking about serious performance cars. After all, nearly ever Ferraris is as red as a turkey's waddle.
That brings us to this angry-looking beast, which is a green Audi RS6 Avant with the updated features of a 2015 facelift model. Those include the new headlights, taillights and minor tweaks for the grille.

The color is what brought this car, located at Audi Forum Ingolstadt, to our attention because. It's Java Green, something not regularly associated with the RS6 and Audis in general. Only the other day, BMW Power Blog presented an M4 Coupe finished in the same tone that had been selected from the BMW Individual catalog.

It's a very subtle shade with metallic effects, so we have to commend the owner for his choice, which probably set him back around €4,000. Even Audi, who shared these photos a couple of days ago, agree that the RS6 looks like a hulk of a car.

And if you do manage to get this Avant angry, be afraid, be very afraid. Under the bonnet resides a 560 horsepower RS-tuned V8 engine with, we might add, 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. The power, combined with a quattro all-wheel drive system, is enough to take the mighty super-Avant to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

This performance is controlled through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Bigger brakes are standard, but the adaptive suspension is an option we think is worth considering. The Audi Individual catalog also holds many carbon fiber secrets that need to be discovered.
