2020 Audi RS6 Avant (C8)

New Audi RS 3 Sedan vs Audi RS 6 Avant Drag Race Is Rather Surprising

The new Audi RS 3 comes with a turbocharged five-cylinder under the hood developing 394 hp (294 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque allowing the 0 to 100 km/h sprint to take place in just 3.8 seconds. That makes it the fastest accelerating car in its class.

We have seen clips of the little RS doing even more impressive numbers with a claimed 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.1 seconds which is just insane.

Archie Hamilton recently took his new RS 3 Sedan to a drag strip to put it up against the much more potent Audi RS 6 Avant.

980 HP (730 kW) Audi RS 6 Hits 100 KM/H In 2.6 Seconds

BMT Turbo has applied their Stage 5 offering.

The Audi RS 6 Avant leaves the factory with its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 pushing out 591 HP (441 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque which is plenty for the average owner.

Some want more and thanks to the array of tuning packages out there, you can get a lot more!

Auditography recently got their hands on a Nogaro Blue Audi RS 6 but it is no ordinary RS 6. BMT Turbo has applied their Stage 5 offering to the Avant taking output up to 980 HP (730 kW) and a ridiculous 1,230 Nm (907 lb-ft) of torque.

This includes software updates, upgraded turbochargers, a new intake system, a custom exhaust (which sounds insane) and some special engine oil.

There Are Way More Audi RS6 Avants for Sale Than You Might Expect

Audi's RS6 Avant outnumbers the E63 AMG almost 9 to 1 in online listings

Like many of you, I am a fan of fast wagons, and like many of you, the price point for these super-powerful long roofs is well beyond my comfortable budget. But that doesn’t stop me from window shopping, and I found a surprising number of Audi RS6 Avants available.

I must admit, I had some serious doubts that Audi would ever bring the RS6 Avant to U.S., and I was happy to be proven wrong even though the likelihood of putting one in my driveway is slim. When these wagons first landed as 2021 models, they were practically impossible to source, but even in a market where inventory is more constrained than ever, getting an RS6 might not be that hard. If you have the cash.

On a recent search for another high-end car, I started to come across an odd number of RS6 Avant listings. Naturally, I got sidetracked and dug a little deeper. According to Autotrader, there are 85, 2021/2022 RS6 Avants listed for sale nationwide.

ABT congratulates Audi on 20 years of the RS6...

... by casually mentioning it makes them better

Ever been told to tread lightly?

Oh, you haven’t? Well, maybe you’re just a more personable sort than we tend to be. In any case, please go ahead and pretend that you have, so this entire analogy doesn’t come apart like a tissue in the washing machine.

Because ABT – tuner of all things Audi (and other VW products, but we’ll try to stay specific for once) has congratulated the Vorsprung durch Technicians on two decades of wide-eyed wonder wagons, while also quietly remarking that the most wondrous versions thereof are the RS6s it tunes. You can see where a certain lightness of step might come in handy there.

Because ABT and Audi are wrapped up almost like a pre-merger AMG and Mercedes-Benz; ABT has run Audi’s racing teams (most famously in touring cars, but also open wheelers in Formula E) and is arguably the biggest aftermarket tuner for Audis. And again, that extends to Lambo, VW, Seat and so on, but we’re trying ever so hard to stick to the point for once.

Audi RS6 and RS7 boosted to 621bhp for 2023

New Performance models replace standard RS6 and RS7 in UK, with £15,000 price increase

The new Performance variant of the Audi RS6 Avant will become the sole version sold in the UK when it arrives in December, triggering a significant price increase.

Fitted with a larger turbocharger, its 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 has been uprated by 30bhp and 37lb ft to deliver 621bhp and 627lb ft, reducing the 0-62mph sprint time by 0.2sec to 3.4sec.

The super-estate will be joined by the new Audi RS7 Sportback Performance, which uses the same powerplant and gets identical performance figures.

Both cars continue with the same eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearboxes and carbon-ceramic brakes.

New additions come in the form of 22in lightweight wheels – available in gold – that are wrapped in high-performance Continental Sport Contact 7 tyres. A self-locking centre differential also comes as standard.

Audi has binned much of the insulation from both cars’ engine bays in a bid to reduce weight, which now stands at 2090kg in the RS6 and 2065kg in the RS7 – a reduction of 8kg a piece. The insulation removal brings with it a louder sound from the engine, Audi claims.

Audi RS6 Avant performance

More powerful and faster than any RS6 and RS7 to date: new Audi RS6 Avant performance and the RS7 Sportback performance are bursting with extras that sharpen the models' appearance and make for a more emotive driving experience. The potent 4.0-liter V8 biturbo TFSI engine now has an engine power of 463 kW (630 PS) and a maximum torque of 850 Nm. From December 8, the RS6 Avant performance and the RS7 Sportback performance are available for 135,000 euros each.

At Audi, 'performance' means more power. For example, larger turbochargers and an increase in boost pressure from 2.4 to 2.6 bar in the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo TFSI engine that both the Audi RS6 Avant performance and Audi RS7 Sportback performance boast, allow an increase of 30 PS in engine power and 50 Nm more torque compared to the base versions. This means a total increase in power from 441 kW (600 PS) to 463 kW (630 PS) and in maximum torque from 800 to 850 Nm. The performance models sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the RS6 / RS7 base versions.

Yet less is sometimes more: reduced insulation between the engine compartment, the interior, and the rear of the vehicle ensures the Audi RS6 Avant performance and the RS7 Sportback performance will thrill customers with an exciting, next-level sound experience - the reduction also makes the car eight kilograms lighter. The RS6 Avant performance has a total unladen weight of 2,090 kg whilst the RS7 Sportback performance weighs 2,065 kg.

New Audi RS6 and RS7 Performance Boast 463 kW

Audi has handed its RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback the Performance treatment, cranking up the twin-turbo V8’s peak outputs and cutting cabin insulation…

Standard Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback not quite potent enough for you? Well, the Ingolstadt-based firm has whipped the wraps off new Performance flagship derivatives, offering more power, faster acceleration and less cabin insulation.

While the standard models employ an already potent twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine worth 441 kW and 800 Nm, the version used in the freshly minted Performance variants upgrades to larger turbochargers and features an increase in boost pressure.

The result? Peak outputs of 463 kW and 850 Nm, and a claimed 0-100 kph sprint time of just 3.4 seconds (for the record, that’s two-tenths quicker than the standard models). In short, Audi’s Performance badge here plays a similar role to the BMW M division’s Competition moniker and Mercedes-AMG’s S designation.
