Audi RS6 and Former Stig vs free runner | video

Audi isn’t shy of getting their cars dirty for trailers. We’ve already seen the Audi RS4 in a paintball duel, and now the RS6 Avant has been rolled onto the battlefield to face off against champion free-runner Damien Walters.

The free-runner has been armed with paint balloons, the RS6 Avant is armed with a 412kW/700Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 punting all four wheels with Audi’s quattro drive. And its arsenal includes extra weapons in the form of a 0-100km/h time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of up to 305km/h.

And for this duel, the RS6 gets an extra bit of artillery – a paint grenade. After seeing what it can do, we’re requesting it be added to Audi’s regular options list. It’s about the only thing they don’t already have on there.
