For automotive fanatics, the name Audi RS 6 Avant conjures up images of a practical yet ferociously powerful sports car. But take that already-loved performance car, infuse it with the exclusivity of a limited edition release, and you get the Audi RS 6 Avant GT – an automotive jewel that hails the perfect blend of track-inspired prowess and luxury.
This exquisite machine, with only 660 units worldwide and just 60 gracing the UK, is more than just a car; it's a love letter to enthusiasts of the four rings. Here are the features that make the Audi RS 6 Avant GT a collector's dream.
Roots in Racing Heritage
Created as a homage to the Audi 90 quattro GTO IMSA race car, the design language of the RS 6 Avant GT runs deep with cues from the legendary racer. Drawing on Audi's illustrious motorsport history, this road-going beast echoes the aggressive stance and aerodynamic finesse of its inspiration.
The new model boasts a distinctive look, embodying the spirit of performance through its exterior styling. A redesigned bumper, carbon fibre elements, a pronounced spoiler, and a reworked diffuser shout speed and precision. Every line and curve of the GT speaks the language of high-performance elegance.
Precise Performance Dynamics
Beneath its sculpted bonnet lies the familiar 4.0-litre TFSI V8 engine, now tuned to produce 630 PS and a staggering 850 Nm of torque, ensuring neck-snapping acceleration and a top speed of 190mph. It catapults from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, delivering the rapidity that makes every drive an event.
Not content with just straight-line speed, the RS 6 Avant GT introduces manually adjustable coilover suspension, enhancing its cornering abilities and offering a bespoke driving experience. Paired with a sharpened quattro sport differential for even more agility, this limited edition is an apex predator on any tarmac.
Exterior Styling
Announcing the GT's arrival with each turn, the six-spoke 22-inch wheels are a sight to behold. Their design, exclusive to the RS 6 Avant GT, not only accentuates its bold aesthetic but also hints at the formidable braking power that's integral to managing its immense speed and energy.
Carbon fibre finds extensive use in the RS 6 Avant GT, contributing to its performance by shedding weight and enhancing aerodynamics. Its presence on the bonnet, front wings, and in the cabin, reflects a commitment to engineering that seeks every advantage, even if it's just a few grams at a time.
Interior Design
Inside, the RS 6 Avant GT is a symphony in black Dinamica microfibre with copper and red stitching, setting a sporty theme that aligns with its exterior demeanor. The cabin is a jubilant mix of performance and luxury, with new RS bucket seats that not only cradle you but also look the part. The interior design elements are a nod to racing, always reminding you of its high-performance lineage.
The armrests, the dashboard, the center console including its sides, and the door waist rails are upholstered in Dinamica black microfiber, whilst the decorative inlays are also available in an open-pore carbon twill structure as an option. The seat belts catch the eye with their full crimson red color. As a special highlight, the center console features the car’s serial number in the limited run of 660 models.
If the visual spectacle is not enough, the RS 6 Avant GT saves its best performance for the ears. The sonorous V8, underscored by a specially designed exhaust note, provides a soundtrack that is as thrilling as the acceleration, ensuring that even when you're not under full power, the GT is never shy about its capabilities.
For those fortunate enough to lay their hands on one, the Audi RS 6 Avant GT is not just a vehicle; it's a work of automotive art that encapsulates the best of Audi's commitment to performance, luxury, and heritage.
