Hey, I am in the UK and I have recently purchased a C8 S6 imported from japan. It has the 2.9 TFSI engine which I think is super rare in this country for the S6 (I know the RS4 and RS5 get the engine). I was wondering if anybody could help me find out how many other ones 2.9 S6s are in the UK? To my knowledge I have the only one according to howrareismycar

any help is appreciated

I think the C8 S6 was only offered as a diesel in Europe so any petrol ones will be super rare and probably imported from somewhere like Japan

Thats what I'm thinking, the dealer I got it off was telling me how europe only got the 3.0 TDI in C8 generation, but I was more looking into if there was any ways to check the validity of only 1 or 2 in the uk? Surely other people have imported them because the desirability of the engine
 
There are relatively few markets that are RHD (although with Japan and India being 2 of them the number of RHD cars is actually quite high). Imports from Japan are popular as the very strict Japanese equivalent of the MOT makes keeping a car much beyond 3 years increasingly difficult, hence a lot of second hand cars sold in Australia and New Zealand are imported from Japan. I suspect the number of S6s sold anywhere is quite small and those sold in most RHD countries probably stay there. Just those from Japan get exported, hence there are only a very small numbering the UK
