Audi unveiled the RS6 GTO concept at the 40th anniversary of the legendary 90-quattro IMSA GTO race car. The concept was developed at Audi’s Neckarsulm plant and is based on a high-performance caravan with a V8 engine.

So far without technical data, the photos show that the car has white one-piece wheel covers with quattro markings and red central caps as well as a former race car. At the back is a prominent spoiler painted red. The stickers are the same as the original car, but have a slightly different design of the side lines. There is also the number 40, which indicates the anniversary.

“The RS6 GTO concept of our apprentices has turned out to be an incredibly great car. I am very proud of them and the results of their work,” says Helmut Stettner, Neckarsulm plant manager and possessor of one of the most German names on the planet.

Interior has been modified. The rear bench has been slung out and replaced by a roll cage, while the front seats are switched for extremely slender Recaros with minimal padding.

The center console has‘t been replaced, but the front side windows have been replaced with safety nets, which is another common feature with the racing ancestor.

Last month, Audi unveiled the TT RS 40 Years of Quattro as an ultra-exclusive special version of the sports coupe inspired by the Sport Quattro S1 race car that won the 1987 Pikes Peak. Only 40 copies will be produced and are destined for the German market.
