Color Check: Audi exclusive RS 6 performance in Riviera Blue

As mentioned yesterday, Germany’s Scherer Sport dealership has a building full of Audi RS 6 Avants. According to a recent Facebook post, they claim to have over 40 RS 6 Avants available at a promotional price. Amongst them is this very striking color combination.

On the outside is Riviera Blue (rivierablau; non-metallic Uni; LP3G; Audi). Inside, this specification continues to strike a bold pose with light Diamond Silver Leather paired with Alaska Blue contrast stitching.

The last time Scherer Sport ran this sort of promotion, headlining with a gaggle of Audi R8s, it coincided with the end of production of Audi’s mid-engine supercar. We know the launch of the A6 replacement is imminent (Mach 4 via ooooIYKYK.com). Given the proximity of that reveal, it’s quite possible the RS 6 Avant is nearing its production end.

Get them while they’re hot. The C9 Audi RS 6 is expected to be a hybrid, which means added weight. Though the RS 6 Avant is no clubsport lightweight, we’re told the M5 Touring is over 400 lbs heavier.
