The new Audi RS6 Avant Performance and Audi RS7 Sportback Performance have arrived in South Africa, each offering more power, faster acceleration and less cabin insulation than their respective forebears. Interestingly, their launch furthermore sees the “standard” models fall away.
So, how much will they cost you? Well, the RS6 Avant Performance is priced from R2 332 700, while the RS7 Sportback Performance starts at R2 444 500. For the record, that’s a premium of R78 100 over the outgoing standard model in each case.
Revealed in November 2022, the new Performance-badged flagship derivatives each employ an uprated version of the Ingolstadt-based firm’s twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine. While the outgoing version of this 8-cylinder motor makes 441 kW and 800 Nm, the iteration used in the freshly minted Performance variants upgrades to larger turbochargers and features an increase in boost pressure.
How much do the Audi RS6 and RS7 Performance cost in SA?
Audi RS6 Avant Performance – R2 332 700

Audi RS 6 and RS 7 Performance models hit SA with 463kW, and priced below rivals
The new Audi RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback Performance have been unleashed in South Africa and they’re the most potent four-ringed models ever to go on sale locally.
The Audi RS 6 Avant Performance will set you back R2 332 700 while the RS 7 Sportback Performance is yours for R2 444 500, and first customer deliveries for the new wagon and three-box hatch will commence this month.
For the record, their (albeit indirect) sedan rivals are more expensive, with the BMW M5 Competition currently listed at R2 547 466 and the Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic costing R2 670 479.
While it’s certainly true that even the regular Audi RS 6 and RS 7 are ‘performance’ models of the highest order, the ‘Performance’ moniker attached to the latest editions extracts even more potency from Audi’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 powerplant.
The Performance models produce 463kW and 850Nm, which is an increase of 22kW and 50Nm over the regular RS 6 and RS 7. Thanks to this, customers can look forward to a 0-100km/h blast taking place in just 3.4 seconds, which is a 0.2 second improvement, albeit still 0.1s shy of the electric RS e-tron and 0.2s behind the lighter R8 V10 Performance.
The new Audi RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback Performance models are sold with a five-year or 100 000km Audi Freeway Plan, which can be unbundled.
Pricing (July 2023):
Audi RS 6 Avant Performance Quattro - R2 332 700
Audi RS 7 Sportback Performance Quattro - R2 444 500

Audi RS6 saloon primed for electric comeback in 2025
New electric model to take on the BMW i5 M60 and Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 saloons
Audi Sport is to resurrect the RS6 saloon as an electric-powered rival to the likes of the recently unveiled BMW i5 M60 saloon and the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 saloon.
Scheduled for UK introduction in 2025, the new four-door performance model is planned to be sold under the RS6 E-tron name as a sibling to the RS6 Avant E-tron, according to sources at the firm's engineering headquarters in Neckarsulm, Germany.
The impending return of the RS6 saloon to the Audi line-up has been revealed 13 years after the combustion-engined model ceased production in 2010, making way for the more sportingly styled RS7 saloon at the time.
The RS6 E-tron saloon and RS6 E-tron Avant build on the upcoming A6 E-tron saloon and Avant models already confirmed for launch in 2024. Central to their performance is a newly developed electric drivetrain, elements of which have been engineered in partnership with Porsche, which will use the dual-motor system in an upgraded version of the Taycan, also due to be unveiled in 2025.
The two new electric Audi Sport models are claimed to have more performance than the existing combustion-engined RS6 Avant and RS7 saloon, with up to 600bhp and over 738lb ft of torque.

Audi RS6 set to re-emerge as an EV by 2025
Step aside gas-guzzlers - Audi is tossing its hat into the electric ring, and trust us, it's going to be electrifying! In 2025, the esteemed German automaker aims to reintroduce the iconic RS6 sedan only with an electric powertrain. The chic title RS6 E-tron has been selected for the project.
The RS6's comeback is noteworthy for many, but let's address the elephant in the room – it's been a solid 13 years since the combustion version of the RS6 sedan waved goodbye and a more flamboyant RS7 that took its place. And now, with an imminent re-entry, Audi seems set to make other electric saloons turn green (pun intended) with envy.
Audi's not stopping at just reviving the sedan. It's bringing, of course, the estate variant too, the RS6 Avant E-tron. Sources whisper that both these models owe their essence to the A6 E-tron models, which are gearing up for a 2024 launch.
