Both CS and Performance are the best the M3 and RS6 can be - but which is better?
. With electrification looming, we have a monstrously fast, twin-turbo V8 Audi Avant - just as it was 20 years ago - and a BMW Motorsport 3 Series with a 3.0-litre straight-six up front and rear-wheel drive. Yes, they’re more complex, more expensive and heavier than ever - but both ought to boast at least some of the attributes that made these nameplates so iconic in the first place.
Indeed the Audi even looks like it rides a bit high to accommodate massive 22-inch wheels at each corner, and can look a little bulbous from certain angles with bodywork so pumped. But it’s hard not to raise a smile as you approach the thing. Most would probably agree that, compared to BMW's divisive approach, this is a preferable way to do OTT.
Even without the special rims, however, it is a 630hp RS6, and that’s as riotously endearing as might be hoped for. Audi has actually employed a similar approach to BMW in the process of liberating the additional power, fitting the Performance with new, boostier turbos rather than using the standard ‘chargers. Now at 2.6 bar rather than 2.
Specifically, it retains that feel of an epic, mile-munching mega estate, but the intangibles are back, too. It feels about 40 per cent more likeable. In a similar fashion to something like the old Aston Martin DB11 AMR it completely makes sense that the Performance replaces the old standard offering in the RS6 lineup.
Honestly, though, this M3 CS could look a whole lot more contentious and still remain not far short of fantastic. If the Performance feels usefully lighter than a standard RS6, this feels another half a tonne slimmer again, if not more. As discovered back when we pitched standard, it’s these comparisons with larger cars that show off what the G80 can do better than any other.
