NEW RIDE .. 2025 RS6 Avant Performance

[NoGarageQueen]

Doesn't the RS6 come with adaptive air suspension?

The adjustable air suspension is standard. Starting with the 2024 RS6 Avant Performance, the DRC (Dynamic Ride Control) was an option for suspension. I stayed with the standard suspension, but my understanding is that the DRC is a mechanical system that uses dampers to lessen body roll. It doesn’t offer as “soft/compliant” a ride as the standard suspension, but folks I’ve talked to are very happy with it and say it’s still comfortable - but it does transmit more road feedback than the standard air suspension (according to a friend who had a 2021 and then ordered a 2024 with DRC)

DRC has been an option on the C8 prior to the 2024 model year.

^Do you know what year? A friend with a 2021 RS6 said it wasn’t an option when he ordered. I assumed (in error) that it became available with the 2024 “refresh”. Thanks for catching my error

I believe it was 2021 in Europe/UK and 2022 in the US. I have a 2022 RS7 with DRC (in the US).

That would explain it. Thanks
