The 591 HP 2020 Audi RS6 Avant Is Coming To America (Updated)
There’s a new sporty wagon today, and it’s the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant. It’s reportedly supposed to be revealed later, but here it is, for your eyes, in all its long-roof glory, waiting for your appreciation and acknowledgement. It even might come with a surprise.
Update, 6:05 p.m.: It’s official. The 2020 RS6 Avant is coming to America. It has 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, at least according to the European power figures. Of course it has Quattro all-wheel drive, and a 0 to 62 mph time of 3.6 seconds with an initial max speed of 155 mph, though Road And Track is reporting that can go much higher, to over 189, with the dynamic package plus optioned.
Audi claims U.S. figures will be announced at a later date.
It comes standard with adaptive air suspension but can be optioned instead with an RS sport suspension that gets variable hydraulic dampers. The body is widened over the standard Avant by 1.6 inches on either side, and it gets the usual RS exterior bodywork look, including a gloss black grille and RS exhaust system.

I could sell everything I have and then I would probably be able to afford these installments and a bond on this > https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...offer-for-a-cool-r1-25-million.1042769/page-3
Then live in my fancy car in Clifton and be happy.

Audi's manic wagon: RS6 Avant returns with even more power
Audi’s manic wagon is back for another generation and it’s packing more muscle than ever, thanks to a revised 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that now has mild hybrid capability.
Let’s get straight to the numbers. The RS6 Avant’s new powertrain matches the 441kW power output of the ‘standard’ BMW M5, while 800Nm is available between 2050 and 4500rpm. That’s enough to get the new RS6 from 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds, says Audi, with 200km/h coming up in just 12 seconds. The top speed, as always, is electronically limited to 250km/h.
The soundtrack is regulated by a flap system linked to the Audi Drive Select, which allows drivers to customise engine acoustics through new ‘RS1’ and ‘RS2’ modes.
Like many of its modern Audi counterparts, the RS6 Avant has a 48-volt main electrical system and features a mild hybrid set-up with a belt alternator. The system can recover up to 12kW of power during light deceleration, which is then stored in a separate lithium ion battery. Ultimately, the set-up is said to save up to 0.8 litres per 100km in everyday driving. Cylinder deactivation also reduces consumption, although there are only so many ways you can mitigate the thirst of a twin-turbo V8.
The engine is paired with an eight-speed tiptronic autobox and a quattro all-wheel-drive system that distributes 60 percent of the torque to the back wheels under normal circumstances, although up to 85 percent can be pushed back there in sportier driving circumstances. A sport differential on the back axle sharpens things further by regulating the torque distribution between the rear wheels as needed.
The RS6 sits 20mm lower than regular A6 Avants, and the air suspension system lowers it by another 10mm at speeds above 120km/h. The vehicle is also available with a ‘lift mode’ that can raise the car by 20mm for speed bumps and the like.
All of these systems can be configured through the Dynamic Select system, which ultimately gives drivers six profiles to play with: comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, and the individually configurable RS-specific RS1 and RS2 modes, which can be quickly activated via the “RS Mode” button on the steering wheel.
The new RS6 Avant rides on 21-inch alloys as standard, but 22-inch RS-specific rims will be available to order.
Although exact local launch timing has yet to be confirmed, Audi South Africa says it hopes to bring the new RS6 Avant to South Africa around the fourth quarter of 2020.

New Audi RS6 Avant: designer dubs hot wagon the ‘autobahn killer’
The man responsible for the exterior design of the new Audi RS6 Avant has dubbed the 441 kW super-wagon the “autobahn killer”.
Speaking to Autocar after the reveal of the fourth-generation RS6, exterior designer Francesco D’Amore said the outgoing version of the super-estate was “a hero for us”.
“We had to think about how to top it. It’s changed a lot from the standard A6. This is Darth Vader. It’s the autobahn killer,” he told the publication.
D’Amore added that some of the styling inspiration had come from motorsport.
“We looked at the old RS cars and wanted to go in a clear, clean direction. Audi cars are always simple and super-precise. The motorsport guys always say ‘we reduce, we don’t add’, so we just applied that here. From some angles, it looks like a DTM touring car.”
The designer also revealed the RS6’s special bonnet was a “big investment”.
