RS 6 Avant
The Audi RS 6 Avant offers visceral design, exhilarating driving dynamics and everyday functionality for the driving enthusiast. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine in the new RS 6 Avant delivers 441 kW (600 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. The standard eight-speed Tiptronic® transmission with sport program and launch control function transmits the power of the 4.0-liter engine to the quattro® all-wheel drive with sport differential.
The RS 6 Avant features the new RS design language. The three-dimensional RS-specific honeycomb structure within the Singleframe grille is finished in gloss black. The characteristic Avant silhouette dominates the side profile, elongated front section, long, straight roofline and flat D pillars. The rear of the vehicle consists of the roof-edge spoiler and an RS-specific bumper with rear diffuser and design elements in gloss black.
The refined interior of the RS 6 Avant includes impressive RS accents and driver-focused technologies. The brand’s new MMI touch response® system, with its black-panel design fuses together the interior architecture and user interface in a modern and sophisticated manner.
The highly anticipated Audi RS 6 Avant will arrive in the U.S. in 2020 and will be available for customer orders, subject to a later announcement. U.S. power and performance specifications will become available closer to market introduction.
