Sithanda uma i-Audi ilahlekelwa umqondo. Nali i-“Rocket” entsha yobaba bemindeni ngokushesha…
Kunezimoto ezisenza sifune ukuhleka sivele sizicabange nje. Isibonelo, i-Fiat Multipla. Imoto embi ngendlela yokuthi noma ngabe kwaFiat bebedayise iyunithi eyodwa, ibivele ingaphezu kwalokho ebengikulindele ukudayisa. Ngangena kuleyo moto kuphela ngifake isigqoko sokuzivikela… Abanye, nabo, nabo bayasenza sihleke, kodwa uhleko oluhlukile. Ezinamahloni kakhulu ezinovalo oluncane. Enye yezimoto ezingidalela lolu hleko olunamahloni novalo yi-Audi RS6. Uhleko, ngoba kungamampunge ukuhlomisa iveni yomndeni ngenjini engu-580hp(!!), kanye novalo ngoba amandla anjalo abangela (okuningi…) inhlonipho!
Kubukeka sengathi i-Automobile Gods bayizwile imithandazo yethu futhi kwa-Audi bazokwethula i-Audi RS6 entsha. Uhlanya olunamasondo: Iveni yomndeni, efakwe injini ethandwa yinoma iyiphi imoto enkulu, idrayivu enamasondo amane, izihlalo zomjaho, amabhuleki e-ceramic kanye nokumiswa kwezemidlalo! Konke lokhu ngasiphi inhloso?! Mhlawumbe ulethe izingane esikoleni ngesikhathi; dlula i-Estoril Autodromo okwamanje; agcine efikile ehhovisi.

| “I-Audi R8 eyabafana!” |
Izithombe ozibona kulesi siqeshana zisuka ku-CarScoop, futhi zisinikeza mathupha ukuthi ibukeka kanjani i-rocket yomndeni wakwa-Audi. Namanje asazi ukuthi hlobo luni “lwesikhungo samandla enuzi” esizosithola ngaphansi kwemodeli entsha… Uma inguqulo ebuyekeziwe ye-5000cc bi-turbo V10(!) eseyaziwa kakade ngo-580hp, uma inguqulo entsha ye-spicier ye-V8 4000cc bi-turbo yethu eyaziwa kakhulu ehlomisa izinhlobo ze-S6 ne-S8.
Noma ngabe i-Audi ibaphathele ini abambalwa abanenhlanhla ngaphandle kokukhathazeka kwezomnotho, siyaqiniseka ukuthi i-RS6 Avant entsha izohlonipha izinzipho ezincane zomkhiqizo uma kuziwa kumaveni adla itiyela: izoba yingozi! Selokhu kwathi nhlo kusukela ngo-1992 yethula iRS2 yokuqala, futhi kubukeka sengathi izoqhubeka kanjalo ngo-2013, lapho kuzophuma khona iRS6 entsha.
