Upgraded Audi RS6 Avant

The Audi RS6 Avant is a supercar with outstanding performance. Pacific German and VF Engineering made an effort to turn it into a modified version with tremendous power.

With the Stage 3 upgrade package, the RS6 Avant is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with more than 1,000 hp (735 kW) and more than 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

The standard Audi RS6 Avant is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 591 hp (435 kW) and 590 lb-ft (435 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 kph).

RS6 Avant is equipped with a body kit that brings subtle aesthetic changes with a special foil. The car received a remapped ECU, Eventuri air intake system, upgraded intercoolers, TTE turbo, Akrapovic titanium exhaust system with oval exhaust pipe ends, new ABT Sportsline stabilizers and a 22-inch bronze wheel set.

The price of the upgraded Audi RS6 Avant has not been announced.

Audi RS6 e-tron

As internal combustion engines will become a thing of the past, the future of the Audi RS6 Avant is in question. Therefore, Audi has decided to produce a fully electric wagon that will succeed the Audi RS6 Avant, the RS6 e-tron.

The A6 e-tron concept was introduced earlier this year and is one of Audi’s most beautiful concepts to date. The RS6 e-tron is expected to share the same basic design details of this concept, but with an extended roofline and sporty accessories. The A6 e-tron concept is built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform, on which the RS6 e-tron will also be based. Whether the PPE platform can accommodate more than two electric motors is not yet known.

It is certain that the RS6 e-tron will be just as powerful as the RS e-tron GT powered by two electric motors with 590 hp (434 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds, which is almost half a second faster than the RS6 Avant. It is to be expected that the RS6 e-tron will be even more powerful, but not with the 700-kilometer range that the A6 e-tron has. Thanks to the 270kWh fast charger, a 10-minute charge will provide a range of 186 miles (300 kilometers).
