This 2024 Audi RS 6 Avant performance currently offered by iDrive Motor Sports comes with a manufacturer buyback designation, a disclosure prospective buyers will need to acknowledge before purchase. While such branding can be enough to send some shoppers elsewhere, it can also create opportunities for enthusiasts willing to investigate the circumstances and determine whether the tradeoff makes sense.

Beyond that caveat lies one of the more desirable specifications we’ve seen on Audi’s super wagon finished in Goodwood Green Pearl over a Black Valcona leatherinterior.

The deep metallic green, named after the famous English estate and motorsport venue, suits the RS 6’s muscular widebody shape particularly well and has become a favorite among Audi enthusiasts seeking something less conventional.

Showing 15,883 miles, this example is the updated Performance variant introduced for the 2024 model year. Under the hood sits Audi Sport’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, gains that helped further sharpen an already formidable package. Power is sent through an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Equipment listed includes Audi’s suite of advanced driver assistance systems, featuring adaptive cruise assist, forward collision mitigation, pedestrian detection and cross-traffic mitigation. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included.

Of course, the biggest talking point remains the buyback designation. Manufacturer buybacks can result from a wide range of issues, some more significant than others, making documentation and due diligence critical. For buyers willing to do the homework, however, vehicles carrying branded titles can sometimes represent an opportunity to acquire an otherwise unobtainable specification at a meaningful discount.

Whether that’s enough to offset the designation is a decision each buyer will have to make individually. What isn’t up for debate is the appeal of a Goodwood Green RS 6 Avant Performance. In a market increasingly filled with monochromatic performance SUVs, Audi’s 621-horsepower wagon remains one of the most charismatic ways to haul both cargo and passengers at extraordinary speed.
