Acura NSX vs Audi RS6
Side-by-side score breakdown across reliability, safety, value, performance, and technology.
What the Numbers Mean for You
- Up-front cost: the Audi RS6 starts about $51,600 lower ($117,900 vs $169,500).
- Fuel: the Acura NSX is fully electric — typically the lowest per-mile running cost, but factor in home-charging access.
- Biggest gap — technology: the Acura NSX leads by 1.0 points (10.0 vs 9.0). In practice that means a more modern cabin — infotainment, connectivity, and driver aids.
Quick verdict: the Acura NSX leads on both long-haul dependability and the driving experience — the main reason to pick the RS6 instead is price or personal preference on styling and brand.
