Today’s episode of DRIVE sees Chris Harris compare a couple of heavy-hitting estate cars: the Audi RS 6 Avant and Mercedes’ expeditious hearse, the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake.
With its 4.0 TFSI V8 sending 412 kW (560 hp) and 700 Nm to all four wheels, the RS 6 rockets to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds before reaching a limited 250 km/h top speed, which can be raised to 280 km/h (174 mph) upon request, while the CLS uses a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8 engine developing 410 kW (557 hp) and 720 Nm of torque. On the road the CLS hits 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds before the fun stops at a restricted 250 km/h top speed.
