ever seen challenging or some are big. i'm listening. so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything ah, to some is this. i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shop my got my license to work as a swimming instructor on dish, and now i teach children under dose to swim just what's your story take part, share it on in. so my grants dot net to day on read the auto and mobility show fast and nimble. even though they might not look it. rev delves into the fascinating world of sleeper cars and a people mover of another kind. made a female interstate driver in catholic lagos, who motors along undaunted.

there's the chancel, cause with a big bike beneath, and okey exterior sleepers. classic examples are the b, m, w, m 3 and m 5 and audio are as to and are a 6. and there have been plenty of other comic his following suit, but sports sedans and performance estates over the years, and i'm going rivalry developed as the 2 big brands by 4 position. the iris 6 avant became the quintessential sleep ed but was to become of the good old performance estate and its monstrous engine output as the electric air dorms, a species facing extinction. ah, the a 6 avant each run is audi's vision of how the electric estate of the future might

look. we can only speculate whether they'll be in addition that deserves to spot the r s badge to but before the future hit the road, let's take a look back at the history of vast estate and sleep is b m w, founded it's m for motorsports division in 1972 followed a decade later by audi with the quatro b n. w introduced its 1st sleeper in 1992. the m 5 touring was the fastest station wagon on the planet at the time. the 34 models summoned up a sumptuous 340 horse power from its 3.8 liter engine. but with production limited to under a 1000 units, the estate versions of b. m, w's $3.00 and $5.00 series were a non starter. already responded in 1994 with the iris to yvonne's, which attained legendary status as

a portion thanks to its performance and practical value, the fastest and most powerful production audi at the time was built by portia and packed a 2.2 liter 5 cylinder engine. delivering 315 horsepower, it was the predecessor of the r s for additions unleashed in 1999 and started muscling in on the m 5 turing's territory. the arias to avant cost the equivalent of almost $50000.00 euros back then. and is one of the pioneers of the performance estate segment. can be on sports, car performance and station wagon might not seem compatible, but the audi brand is firmly established in the estate segment safety up and amazon . we'd already made a big statement with a hugely successful ours to close. and if, if the all to was super a poor close, while the m w has had high performance sedans in its range since the m 3 in 1985, it was initially only built as a sedan and convertible. the copay edition followed later. the em 3 touring and

other body variance were available as concept editions. but b, m w, so precious few takers in the segment. it wasn't until 2022, that the munich base comic had the idea of offering an estate version of the new m 3. as well, while others are uttering in the end of the combustion engine b, m, w boldly, and bail to performance estate, generating 510 horse power from a 3 lisa in line 6 unit and officially going from 0 to 100. in 3.6 seconds, so when i thought of b, m w has a long tradition of motor sports and is a dynamic company's career. and bob looked once said something that could be our motto to this day, accompanies like a human being absorbed, as long as it goes in for sports is fit,

are well trained and full of performance. and that definitely holds true for b, m. w from dose post to show a fair route. so launched in 1985, the m 5 not back. sedan is now in its 6th generation with a certain extra trunk capacity added only later at this looking for a taste of motor sports in an estate where catered to by the n 5, turing built between 272010. it was a huge $507.00 horsepower, 5 liter v 10 engine with a top speed of 307 kilometers per hour, but with barely over a 1000 units sold in 3 years, the touring was soon discontinued ah, thought he had already entered the performance estate frey, and 1994 with the our is to yvonne's it was followed in 2002 by their response to

the developments with the m 5. the full $150.00 horsepower arrest 6 avant. unlike b, m w already made an avid commitment to station wagons we were else before we just put our 1st vehicle of yours for on the market in 1999 walter. and as we wanted to expand our portfolio largest, the obvious next move was to go into the mid range see segment and bring out an r s 6 of just wanted to bring. the 1st generation of the artist 6 was powered by audi's most powerful engine to date. it's 4.2 liter v 8 engine built by british motor sports specialist cars. with mobilizes 450 horsepower and 560 new to meet his up torque. walter, we wanted to go

a big step up with the r s in terms of output and torque job, and that meant a v 8 by turbo would be total real. the ari 6 was a bona fide sleeper with only subtle changes on the front. why the wheel arches and side skirts as well as modified front and rear, a prince and a honeycomb mesh. the oval shaped deal tailpipes have remained to this day. the 3rd generation of the r 6 was available as an estate or sudan. production for the 2 versions totaled, $8081.00 units ha. low. the design is originally intended to equip the car with an output of 500 horsepower that eventually proved 50 too many for the transmission to cope with very finger on them. at 1st we exceeded customers expectations. it was

a bit crazy for that time in the photo, but it was a fantastic statement. my book with nobody expecting a car with over 450 horsepower. customers loved it, such as a 2 year production cycle for the 1st model was fairly short and then people were looking forward to the next generation where we wanted to continue the success story. we still bypass, i'm what i the 2nd generation of the r 6 was built between 282010. the model was powered by my seat, but heavy 5 liter of the 10 engine. the imperious 580 horsepower propelled the 2 ton station wagon from 0 to 100 in 4.6 seconds, making the car only a 10th of a 2nd quicker than its predecessor. the c 5 customers

could pay extra to push that top speed up to $280.00, shortly before the end of its production cycle. a plus addition limited to $500.00 units was produced. it was identical in construction but was now able to crack 300 kilometers per hour. the 10 cylinder engine was available at the time in a range of models in various configurations. by audi. audi featured 3 different d 10 engines at the time of the s 6 had an aspirated version with forage and 50 horsepower. your firm, which bears in been pay out for the lamborghini. golardo an audi r a do? oh, had a high rev concept version as well. going up to 8400 our piano with dry sump lubrication . again, with an aspirated options, rogow went on, and the 3rd one became the engine for the r 6 or the war a by turbo with dry sands, beatrice with 580 horse power, the most powerful audi ever back that i start out here about the enterprise for

this powerful avant was just over 110000 heroes. visually, the 2nd generation likewise, hadn't understated appearance. behind the 20 inch rims were enormous perforated and floating break disks, measuring $390.00 millimeters wide on the front axle. production of this model amounted to $4674.00 units with estates, accounting for 83 percent. ah, that seemed at once the 2nd generation of the r as 6 the c 6 was at the end of its life cycle. obviously we wondered how the story would continue with the c 7 illegally moment by barbie gets been, sees even further,

given the growing importance of carbon emissions. if we wanted the new car to be far more economical than the si 6. mr. hoffman her thus via meter moines, outdoor, boyish, basel moby. and as we decided on a downsizing concept, we shifted down from a v 10 by turbo to a v 8 votes and be doable of i not fall off. we integrated cylinder deactivation, which turns off 4 cylinders during lo, load conditioner, zip logan, russell, that enabled us to lower fuel consumption by around 30 percent during moderate driving compared to the preceding model for both. all ribs will also suit was of asian gig, but importing a more than 2013. so the arrival of the 3rd generation of the r is 6 of us with a v 8 harnessing 560 horses from the fully to capacity. for the 1st time, the new model pack less power than the outgoing version. then again, the extra beef in the performance edition translated into $605.00 horsepower

romano. with as usual, towards the end of the life cycle, we looked at what we could still do with the see $7.00 and decided to turn plus into performance. and on and she, we opted for a different strategy, humphrey and in future when you similar components with other models, as seen with the r s q 3. and i'm with in the, at a school that i performance in this year. botello. i'm from the r 6 and red is a performance models. on the one hand, that means more output else up from 5, a trans 60 to 605 horsepower figure take from the truth and using an over boost function. we also managed to up the torque to 750 newton meters. despite the smaller engine and lower capacity, the r is 6 is faster than the previous model. it takes just 3.7 seconds for the dash to $100.00. top speed is electronically limited to 305 kilometers per hour.

or the new c 7 generation sold almost 25000 units. now the estate was most definitely a hit with its fans. it was the 1st time the r essex was available exclusively and this body style variant. it's now history. but filling the void it left was the arrest 7, fos back but certainly for the vehicle dynamics front, we added a further highlight. in addition to the torque vectoring, we now also have rear axle steering for extra agility. the dogs lingual, the recall code tools and the far smaller turning circle means. it also helps with parking parking in front of him because of the door to sign a route. the current generation of the arrest, 6 launched and 2019 was without doubt the most exciting, sporty estate of all time. in visual terms, the sol common elements with the a 6 with the roof,

the front doors and the tailgate. all the other body parts were brand new. looks wise. this model made the most conspicuous departure from its entry level sister version. and if there was ever a car, absolutely geared to performance, this one was it with a body full centimeters wider on each side in order to ensure a sufficient room for the gigantic, optional 22 inch rims with the mild hybrid system on board the sea. 8th mighty fully survey generates 600 horses. acceleration and top speed are about the same as its predecessors. but weighing in a 2.15 tons, it's also the heaviest are in 6 ever built. you don't notice the increase in weight from the mild hybrid components, the rear axle steering and she

a be provided by the engine. also make it more agile than it's ancestors and made it quite popular to break the, the production increase with this c 7 generation for any additional markets we target at your school meant that we gave a real listen to those market. yes. it and listen to customers to the walk from comfort. so i didn't list leg line and we try to iron out all these little issues with the c 7 most things like that. whether you feel the aluminum shift paddles while at the wheel of a medium size header, the m m, i now features a proper r as 6 model. instead of an a 6 fix more pena, i'm 4. so we carefully refine the engine. so the torque is available earlier and faster. we improved an issue of importance to customers is designed and this is the widest, are a 6 of all, almost 8 centimeters wider than the wheels, or even bigger, up to $22.00 inches. label mindful rocha numbers. something you don't find among the competition, muslim, convicted of nuisance animal to cities at 81 thick setting point for all

r a 6 models, the trunk. the current version can fit in between 565 and 1600 ac leases of gear. if that's not enough, there's the optional extra of a trailer hitch. a feature around the quarter of customers, one for more variability and cargo space. well, b m w has made a name for itself in the sport celine segment, already has made the foster state market its own in the course of its 4 generations . the iris 6 avant has become the embodiment of his boat. he estates, i, the way this story is said to continue for at least another generation given come, the next generation of course will be offering customers and are as 6. but they got among people cotton and you can see how the cars have evolved over time. you bought the fight advocate. hm. there's

a growing degree of hybridization with smith and their to customers will have something to look forward to your book even follow up if you could porn good. following the era of souped up fossil fuel cargo carriers, the day is coming for electric estates. an r s edition of the each on a 6 avant concept is likely to appear. but whether it becomes as legendary as the r s models of the c 5 to c h innovations remains to be seen. if you want more red, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, read can make you very happy vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us at youtube slash dw read. and you'll always be up to speed
