UK’s Prince Harry Puts His RS6 For Sale

BY Azfar Hashim

The immaculate wagon RS6 has only been used once by the Prince; is the Prince looking for something more family friendly?

You can now feel like a royalty by picking up Prince Harry’s luxury Audi on UK’s Auto Trader for a cool £71,900 (SGD$127,513). The sporty wagon was used by Harry to transport Meghan Markle, on the way to Pippa Middleton’s wedding reception in Bucklebury, in May last year. With under 7,300 km on the clock, it’s obviously seen a few other adventures, but the excellent condition is a testament to one special previous owner who obviously has excellent taste and good sense in cars.

The Audi RS6 4.0 Avant Tiptronic Quattro 5dr is the sportiest in its range and has been packed with £11,330 (SGD$20,655) of hand-picked extras such as a panoramic sunroof and, understandably, privacy glass. Heated front and rear seats allows royals riding in the back to enjoy the same comforts as those who’ve called ‘shotgun’, and the sports exhaust offers a fitting audio track for those who mistake the car’s high-performance hidden under its subtle exterior.

No corgi hairs have been found on the honeycomb-stitched valcona leather interiors. Erin Baker, Auto Trader’s Editorial Director, comments: “This is a smashing car perfectly suited to any aspiring Royal. The Audi RS6 Avant is one of the fastest estate cars on the market doing 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and it has a roaring exhaust to excite any petrol head.”

Baker continues, “The car boasts a low mileage, so it begs the questions why is the Prince selling so soon? Maybe he’s on the market for a bigger family car, in which case we’d recommend a Skoda Superb, which won the best family car in our recent New Car Awards, or maybe he’s after an electric car having driven Meghan away after their wedding in an electric Jag?”
