Ginger Prince's wagon for sale

Audi RS6 C7

An Audi RS6 C7 formerly owned by Prince Harry has been put up for sale on a British website for automotive enthusiasts.

The car has a royal lineage that can be traced back to 2017 when the Royal reportedly took delivery of the car. This includes its original number plate, KX17 ZBN. At the time he paid £91,530 for the 418kW, four-wheel-drive, V8-powered estate model. The current selling price is now set at £42,000.

The estate covered around 7,242km (4,500 miles) on the car during the 15 months it was owned by Harry. The six-year-old model has now covered a total of 109,435km (68,000 miles).

The RS6 can sprint 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in under four seconds and is equipped with an extra £11,000 of factory-fitted optional extras. Harry also elected to have the electronic speed limiter de-restricted, allowing for a top speed of 280km/h (174mph).
