Audi RS6 Avant C8 Sleeps With The Fishes After Driver Error

€127,000 – that's the starting price of a brand-new Audi RS6 Avant in Germany. Fixing this super wagon after an impromptu bath is going to cost almost as much. The soaking C8-gen family hauler from Ingolstadt comes with a six-figure repair bill, according to the police, after the driver/diver unintentionally decided to give it a thorough washing.

The accident took place last Thursday morning, February 17, following a driver error causing the AMG E63 Estate competitor to jump into the Neckar river in Germany. It happened near Gundelsheim, a town in the district of Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg located in southern Germany. It wasn't until Sunday when eyewitness Maik Roth noticed the long-roof Audi sleeping with the fishes. He promptly alerted the water police.
