It’s been a while since I last covered a four wheeler on TFTS, so I thought this one has to be extremely special to actually be worth covering. And boy, did I find the right candidate! A true car fanatic, Juan Carlos I, the King of Spain, has just added to its amazing car collection (which includes a 1959 Rolls Royce Phantom IV, a Maybach or his first drive, a classic Mini) with this slick new Audi RS6 that features a lot of “monarchical upgrades”.

Speaking of goodies, the Royal Audi RS6 is stylish painted in black, features a blacked-out Audi logo and aeye-catching dark graphite five-spoke wheels. Power comes from a tweaked 5.0-liter TFSI engine mated to a six-speed Tiptronic transmission, that helps it churn out 572 horsepower and up to 480 ft-lb of torque. All these to propel the beast from naught to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 280 km/h.

Other changes to the Royal Audi RS include front-mounted emergency lights to help it move easier during rush hour, a special license plate to stand out from the crowd and flag-holders above the front wheels.

Guess that’s the way to roll as a king, eh?
