There's obviously a lot of professional car content on KZfaq these days, but for me when considering the whole package I do think you're top of the pile. Well done to all involved, it really is good work.

The water bottle transmission bit gave me a good chuckle. Excellent, as always, Henry

Carfection - next-gen Topgear without the month python sketches.

Your film production is incredible, those first 20 seconds alone. No other car channel comes close to the quality level. My favourite car channel by far

EV charging stations need to slap a roof over the top, like any decent petrol station. Henry wouldn't have sat on the car giving us his views if the weather had been uncooperative, though it might have given him more aerodynamic hair.

I do love Henry Catchpole’s presentation style…

Seen a lot of reviews of this car, finally someone has commented on the manual gear shifts. Good ol’ Carfection, makes other car channels look amateur-ish.

Your videos are so unnecessarily beautiful and cinematic, I love it!

Wonderful content guys! Thank you so much 😊 The detail, simplicity and sophistication is always great! Mr Catchpole, you are excellent! 🙌🏾

Hi Henry, after watching all of the other videos and reports for this vehicle, I fell upon yours. This report is by far the best and just shows how on point you are, and ahead of the game in terms of content, quality and presentation. Your comments about Scotland are accurate and appreciated, my Mother’s family being from Shetland Islands, not sure if you have been to British Columbia Canada, very similar and very beautiful here. Thanks again for all of your wonderful work, we really appreciate you and your colleagues at Carfection.

Great episode Henry, I really enjoyed the review on the model. That long road trip is much appreciated. The whole journal was so entertaining. Please do make more content like this.

true definition of poetry in motion, there's a vibe I can't describe from your videos and I love it

Thank You for actually calculating the cost per mile in order to provide a clear comparison of the costs of an electric car to an internal combustion powered car. It's amazing how many testers don't do this basic fact reporting.

Consistently brilliant videos. The production quality and Henry's presenting are both top class! You guys are the best in the business. The music during the intro. was amazing and really suited the location. Please keep doing what you're doing and thanks 👏

I continue to be amazed by the quality of your content. Cheers!

Carfection deserves another million subs just for Henry's ''Evian Gearstick'' ;)... Absolutely the best motoring content on KZfaq, as per usual!

Another fantastic film from Henry and the carfection team. Beautifully made and well planned, great viewing 👏👏👏👌

I hit the Like button before I even saw the video...dindn't regret it. Hand's down the best car videos on youtube!

Those first 20 seconds? I needed a cold shower and a cigarette just after that! Haven't even watched the rest of the video yet - Car Perfection indeed! Love you guys!

Super film, great combo of road test, living with and road trip, thanks guys!

This is sooooo good, I just hit the like button even before I watch the video because I know I'll always be in awe at the end of the video

Great video, really makes me miss Scotland. Need to get back over there for a drive one of these days

A wonderful review with humour making this content enjoyable to watch. Loved the water bottle gear lever 🤣. Manual EV FTW!

Water bottle game had me actually lolling. This is some of the best stuff being made, well done team

Astonishing this channel with Henry has less than a million subscribers but channels like Doug demouro or throttle house have way more. Perplexing. This is the best channel. Period. And Henry is the ultimate. Best of the best.

Seriously beautiful camera work best eye candy / info for cars on KZfaq .

Amazing video as always henry

You people take auto journalism to another level all together.. keep it up guys 👍👍👍

Perfectly pitched and well balanced review, although I'm surprised you got snow on the hills - central belt has been incredibly warm this year, even hitting 30C in September. A figure we rarely hit in peak summer! As for the A9, when the SNP came in to power they cancelled all road improvements on the road and then announced they'd have the road completely upgraded to dual carriageway in 25 years time. Claiming that no other party had made that commitment. I think they've quietly forgotten about it. Instead they put in speed cameras. They did the same on the A77, except when a politician's assistant was killed in an accident and when police were injured too (can't remember if they survived when they killed an innocent person or died too). Only then was something done, but alas, for any ordinary person's death they only use it as an excuse for more cameras not road improvements.

The water bottle shifter really made me laugh. Nice one Henry.

I notice myself watching the picturesque views of Scotland instead of the car😊

Just come back from Scotland myself, I love it up there, first time doing the Dukes Pass and the Three Loch Drive, definitely my favourite place for a roadtrip

I'm surprised the mention of John Cage didn't come at 4'33.... great video! Love the gear stick!

This is my favourite auto channel by far. Everything else comes second to this.

Fantastic review! 😊

I think Henry's hit upon an interesting idea for a desk toy there. A gearshift to bolt into your EV to 'pretend' you're shifting gears.

Made my day that my hometown (Greenock) got a mention on Carfection!

Even before I heard his voice or even see his face, the intro (first 2 or 3 seconds) I just could tell it's Henry. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

The slippy dif .. and riffing with the water bottles. I smiled too.

As always very well presented, and beautifully shot, hope this comment tickles the algorithms ! As for the Audi, this is to this day the only EV that is appealing, it's a god damn good looking car ! And being a BMW owner and fan, I really hope the bosses in München take a good look at this Audi and their own i4, and realize whats gone wrong. Congratulations Audi, and future customers !

loved the manual transmission bit Henry haha! also pretty crazy that the electric fuel costs more than petrol!

It would be great to have the option to be able to download your own preferred sound for the engine in these cars.

Great video. Generous in content. Love it.

Brilliant car & video 👌

Clean. I challenge you to top that Golf club sport review though 🔥🔥🔥

dont be scared to go lower with your charge and dont charge over 80% if in a hurry, then the charging will be even faster

I came here mistakenly , but today I understood that not all mistakes are bad , some can even introduce you to one of the best car reviewer on the planet Very good review.

Gorgeous car, I would like a hybrid version to be honest, but God.. what a beauty..

ps ps I consider the Audi rs episode when you've been poored with snow in the desert is the best . what a cinematic shots !🎯

EVs aren’t as good or bad as EV anyone says. Not for the purpose of driving and not for the environment. They’re simply cars. If you like them, great. If not, great. This is why I like Henry’s reviews. You can actually trust him to tell the truth about a car as a car and to simply say whether it’s good or not as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Great review. I would adore one of these in hybrid… if one were available.

This intro

Thank you very much, good presentation.

The opening is as good as a Bond movie. Tremendous stuff old chap.

While I do love this car; everytime I look at it I see the Porsche Taycan roofline, doors and windshield. I wish I never noticed it. Great review ...great video.

Great review, I have tested the car and I totally agree with your comments. But, the most interesting for me has been the comparison of the cost by mile between the e-tron RS and the RS6... speechless!!!!!! Sorry, for the moment I don't see any advantages for ev. Environment? Well... it depends how the electricity has been produced... carbon? Oil? Nuclear? Gas? Because wind and solar energy are today a minimum percentage of total production.

the first one to make watching EV testing fun ^^

The opening 20 seconds is amazing

Would be interested to know when this was filmed - there hasn't been much snow in Scotland recently...

Of all the KZfaq car reviewers Henry is the best…

We got up early, And left quietly, Heading predictably, South. This is why we love Henry’s narrative.

That damn volume touchy circle... I miss that refined last gen clickin' volume knob. Easy to access, great to use, and nice to look at.

Henry, is the luggage capacity big enough for a full-size 4-seater GT car?

1.40 when life flashes before you're eyes 🤣

sign of a good video when you get to end and think WTF was that 14 minutes already 👍

Ha! Sat in the exact same car in Corby at AITP12 back in August. :) remembered its plates

Haha jokes on you. I don't have 4 friends to make feel uncomfortable with launch control. Awesome work as always your videos never disappoint.

That RS6 fuel consumption average is very...hopeful

I recently bought my first automatic in the form of a Colorado ZR2 diesel. The bit about the water bottle shifter, haha boy that hit home.

Not sure why Audi did not release this thing as a Avant/wagon. Porsche beat them to the punch with the Taycan Cross Turimo. Audi stuffed up in my opinion. Thanks Henry, your videos are always fantastic. A class above the rest. Cheers from Australia.

Great review as always, how do you rate the rear wheel steer i.e. is it essential as the insinuation is that it is RS specific and not on the 'normal' GT?

Re: the sound, I can't help but note that Audi's - and, indeed, Carfection's - back catalogue includes the mellifluous tones of the late, lamented 4.2 V8. Now that would have been an appropriate sound for the Dynamic setting.

Great vid. I totally agree with your findings. EVs are just perfect everyday cars, once the charging is completely sorted, its a no brainer. As for soul and pasion of driving, its just not there. However, for most people, a car is a car, hopefully us enthusiasts can still buy liquid fuels in the future.

I enjoyed that very much. Maybe make it more interesting to note miles travelled and time travelled (in case you had to go out of your way to charge up) compared with a ICE car and the electric costs at each stop and in total for the journey compared to fuel. How does Ionity compare to the rest of them price wise etc.

The wheels are amazing!!!

Why didn't Audi mount a drop-down tray in the boot lid for the charging cable/equipment? That would make a lot of sense. Besides that, though, I like this car a lot. Audi did with the E-tron what we car guys have been asking for: they're making a normal car that happens to have an electric drivetrain, not a futuristic hippiemobile with a 19-inch TV glued to the dash.

The water bottle trick 🤣

like the bring your own Aqua transmission option

Henry hit the big time, he’s now getting branded water bottles. Next stop, Top Gear. He and Harris are my two favorite reviewers

The Ionity changing network is the most expensive to use in the UK, but probably the most reliable and available because of that. They are spaced out perfectly, that if your EV has 200 ish miles of range then you can travel the distance of the country (Lands End to John o'Groats) and back with no charging issues. Lucky for me Polestar is an Ionity partner so I can charge at 30p per kWh

i do exactly this with my short term 2017 maxima rental. my manual bmw is in the shop and i miss it

thank you for not mentioning the taycan every sentence, nice video and i suppose the moral of the story is “buy an RS6"

Great content, as always. That said, I will always want a 5 minute fill up for another 500 miles or so. When an EV can do that, let me know. And I'll still keep my FD because I love it.

Hope you can get a drive with the new lucid air dream released to the public October 30. Lots of power 1080hp, lots of luxury and space plus 500 miles of range independently tested

hats of Mr.Catchpole

Mercedes new EV definitely nailed the sounds a bit more, but this thing is gorgeous on the outside

Good looking car!

This observation just occurred to me (yes, I'm slow): All of the charging stations that I've seen, are open air with no overhead covering. This is fine in areas like California, but in most countries, having an overhead covering when refueling in rain, snow or blazing sunshine/heat is very nice. So far, EV charging away from home means going out into inclement weather and messing with the power plug, using the charger interface and then either waiting inside the vehicle or walking somewhere else to kill time. How much investment will companies put into their charging stations of the future? We'll see how long that takes, and at what cost increase to the charge itself. I would imagine about 15-20 years for completion. And, I would guess, that by that time, the cost of charging an EV will be on par or more than if we continued with petroleum. But I do like the Audi, just needs more range...like 500-600 miles. Then I'm in.

Not much fond of e-cars, but what a class video 😘

Excellent production. Well done. But im not into sparky cars. So if you never review them, that would be cool 😁😁😁

What is that music playing at 09:00?

the only ev car i would consider if i had the money great review

Henry I think you should just move to Scotland 😄

John Cage's finest work....haha, cheeky!

tungsten carbide (the coating on the brakes) is one of the hardest compounds humans know of :) Diamonds are still harder however.

The comparison of fuel costs with an RS6 is interesting. Given that most of the cost of petrol is tax and that the government will have to recoup lost revenue once electric car uptake really takes off will we see travel becoming far more expensive for those who don't have the option to charge at home?

5:50, I have so done that before 😂

Given those running costs this car seems like a good argument for a fast diesel. Which could crack along at 80 doing about 50mpg. And then take 5 mins to fill up... when you get home. The charging network still has a way to go having seen what Exeter services looks like at the end of the school holidays with cars queued up at charging points. At this point in time I think PHEVs make more sense as a versatile 1 car solution: Pure EV for school runs and then IC for long trips

Henry always has a good hair day. I envy him

Simulate shifting with a water bottle - those things are the reason why this is my go-to car channel.

best EV on the market. If you're just doing city driving its perfect - no range anxiety. If you're planning to do a lot of long distance however, the infrastructure just isn't ready yet for you to have a convenient and worry free trip in your EV.
