This Royal Mail Audi RS6 Is Perfect for Postman Pat

It seems that the Audi RS6 makes everything slightly funnier. A couple of days ago, we talked about robbers using it to get away from a pizza takeout robbery, and now the mighty wagon is a postal van.
There used to be a lot more of these regular cars that are converted into vans, like the Ford Fiesta or Opel Corsa Van. But now manufacturers have taken even their smallest cars into premium territory. So a Fiesta that delivers your mail is a no-no.

Does anybody even use letters? Back when Audi made the RS 2 Avant, the mail was a primary way of communication, doing business or staying in touch with loved ones. But now, you can tell your mother you love her while driving the RS6 at a million miles an hour.

It's not a stock RS6 either, not that there's anything wrong with 560 HP... or 605 HP if it's the competition model. OEM+ North West fitted the 4.0-liter with Milltek cat-back exhaust pipes. As you can probably hear from the video, you'll definitely hear it when Postman Pat arrives at your doorstep. It's what he needs to get all the deliveries done in time!

Naturally, the car's windows haven't actually been replaced with sheet metal, as you'd get on a Fiesta Van. They've just been creatively wrapped in red vinyl and custom graphics matching the Royal Mail logos.

Rearward visibility is shot to pieces, but when you're in an RS6, everything behind you doesn't matter anyway. Oh, and the rear wiper has been deleted because it wouldn't work with the vinyl anyway.

All this is done for the giggles and because the owner wants to participate in the Cannonball Rally this weekend. We wonder if there's an E63 milk float and an X5 M delivering papers along the way. Maybe the vicar has a Ferrari or something.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
