No. It's an RS6. Let there be no mistake.
I have same position on my A4 1.8tqms and A6 3.0q. I understand the clean look argument, it's just not compelling to me.

If I had an RS 6, I'd hate for people to think I had a hopped up 2.8.
Granted, true Audi-philes will identify the grill, wheels, stance, brakes, trim; but if you de-badged, even car enthusiasts (non-Audi) would think you had a worked-over A6. It's such a low-volume car that most folks would not even know what you were saying if you TOLD them you had an RS 6.

De-badge!!! No way, Jose...!!! (more)
If I owned a RS 6, I would want the world to know. I would want people at the stoplight to realize that I could run circles around them - if I choose to. I wouldn't tint the glass either!!! I want them to see me!!!
Of course, this is not in accord with the usual "conservative" attitude of some Audi owners. But in the case of the RS 6, I would gladly make an exception...

There are some valid reasons for debadging
but it sure looks goofy. In Europe they do it to hide from the taxman or to make the car a lower profile crime target. Over here, at least in LA, whenever I see a debadged BMW I know it's because they got the small engine. Almost every 318 in the older body style has been debadged, but you can still tell by the tail pipe configuration.
