Used vehicles always have some extra prestige when owned by publically-known figures, and one of the latest cars to go on Auto Trader could certainly garner a lot of interest.
An Audi RS6 owned by Prince Harry has been put on the used car buying site for just short of £72,000.
The ’17 plate Daytona Grey model is fitted with £11,330-worth of options, such as a panoramic sunroof and privacy glass, while other equipment includes heated front and rear seats, and a sports exhaust. The model’s list price was £91,530.
Under the bonnet is the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 producing 552bhp which is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive – meaning it can sprint from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155mph.
With only 4,464 miles on the clock, the model was used by Prince Harry to transport Megan Markle to the reception following Pippa Middleton’s marriage.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader editorial director, said: “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 60 in 3.9 seconds, and it has a roaring exhaust to excite any petrol head.
“The car boasts a 17 reg and 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?”
Placed on Auto Trader by the Overton Prestige dealer, Prince Harry’s RS6 is priced at £71,900.
