The Audi RS models from quattro GmbH are the ultimate in sportiness, complemented by powerful and elegant
design, exclusive equipment and perfect quality.
The new Audi RS 6 will only be available as an Avant to start with, with the unrivalled combination of 580 bhp and
a maximum 1,660 litres of luggage space. The Audi RS 6 redefines the concept of high performance in the business
class. With its 426 kW 580 bhp , it is the most powerful model in the current Audi range and with the exception of
pure racing cars like the Le Mans winning Audi R10 TDI, it is the most powerful Audi of all time. By the same token,
it completely outclasses all its competitors in the luxury performance category.
A newly developed V10 engine with FSI direct injection and twin turbochargers, permanent quattro four wheel drive
and sports suspension with Dynamic Ride Control DRC sets the standard for high performance cars in the luxury class.
