Default Audi RS6 Avant Plus





The RS 6 Plus who can argue with those specs but its a bit pricey in my opionion

Outside, matt black trim strips and roof rails visually distinguish the Plus version of the RS6. With an output of 480 bhp, the RS 6 plus generates 30 bhp more than the standard Audi RS 6 version. The peak torque of 560 Nm is achieved across a range that now extends from 1950 rpm all the way up to 6000 rpm - in other words, the engine speed range across which this enormous traction is now available has been increased by a further 400 rpm.

The secret to this optimised performance is a new engine control unit. In order to maintain stable thermal conditions in the light of its uprated performance, the technical specialists from quattro GmbH have positioned two additional radiators behind the intercoolers.

The road performance is unequalled by any other model in the field of competitors: a mere 4.6 seconds elapse for the standard discipline of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h. The Audi RS 6 plus hits 200 km/h in just 17.3 seconds.

New Technology

The Audi RS 6 plus has perforated brake discs; these are visible between the five arms of the larger 19-inch cast aluminium wheels.

Buyers of the RS 6 plus can in addition order sports suspension plus, at no extra charge. With variable damping, firmer spring/damper settings and a body 10 mm lower than the RS 6, its road behaviour and responsiveness are even more active and sporty.

A counterpressure-optimised sports exhaust system with matt black, oval tailpipes acts as a forceful mouthpiece for the lusty sound of the eight-cylinder engine.

Equipment

The Audi RS 6 plus has black natural leather seats and carbon fibre trim strips as standard. Customers can choose between all standard exterior colours of the RS 6 - or between the Blue, Silver and Black/Cognac packages that are available at no extra charge.

Even the vehicle identification number emphasises the fact that the Audi RS 6 plus is something utterly special. Its last three digits are reproduced on a plaque inside the car, displayed on the centre console. No more than 999 of this version will be built.

The Audi RS 6 plus can be ordered now, exclusively with Avant body, for delivery from the end of April. The recommended retail price inclusive of VAT is 101,050 euros.

Thats a really nice car, but as Imre said the "Avant" is an estate, not a hatchback-

Perhaps the Benz E55T is quicker on the dragstrip, but on a circuit as the Nordschleife, I am sure this new RS6 is more quicker.

I dont want to be bad, but this true what you said about your uncle. Because, never I would have sold one of my favorite car of all the times.

you cant imagine how many youngsters or old farts in their "fast" BMW`s who have been embaraassed by this type of cars....


Of course, you would never do such a thing.

"Drive is like you stole it" and "If you're in complete control, you're not going fast enough"...do those sound familiar?


I like the RS6, but kinda dislike the looks. Maybe when I'm 50...neah...even then I'd buy a Ferrari. 8) 8) 8) 8)

That's true , In addition, Audi's RS and S series are all-weather cars with "Supercar Territory" performances.
