Hi - I am in the process of 'aquiring' a car for a job we have lined up. It needs to be a big car with lots of power. We may well have to outrun other cars, and so have whittled our choice down to two.
The Audi RS6 or the Mercedes AMG 55 Estate.
Has anyone had experience with either of these cars, and if so, which is the fastest and safest at high speed?

The RS6 will beat the Mercedes 55 estate head to head in all categories accept interior comfort. Speed, acceleration, handling, tuning ability, etc. It touches supercar ability, and with an expert audi technician, the RS6 can be tuned with all of it's stock parts to perform even greater than it already does. With a manual you also have far greater control of shift times if you need to outrun other cars.

The AMG 55 estate is not a supercar capable machine. It's close but is not.

It's kind of obvious if you have driven both so if you haven't throw your black card down and take them out for a drive. Put the pedal to the medal.

If you look at a mercedes look at the E63AMG that's the fastest automatic made today. Arguably.
