2008 Audi RS6 Avant

Outstanding top performance and maximum dynamism combined with excellent suitability for everyday use are the impressive features of the new Audi RS6 Avant, which will be unveiled to the public for the first time at the IAA 2007 in Frankfurt.

A newly developed V10 engine with FSI direct injection and twin turbochargers, permanent quattro four-wheel drive and sports suspension with Dynamic Ride Control DRC set the standard for high-performance vehicles in the luxury class.

426 kW (580 bhp) and a maximum torque of 650 Nm add up to an unforgettable performance experience. At the same time, the new Audi RS6 Avant offers a high standard of travel comfort - on long journeys, too.

The Audi RS models from quattro GmbH are the ultimate in sportiness, complemented by powerful and elegant design, exclusive equipment and perfect quality.

Although the unique Audi RS driving sensation can now be experienced in saloon, Avant and Cabriolet models - as is the case with the current RS4 - customers especially appreciate the combination of dynamism and versatility that an Avant offers.

The new Audi RS6 will therefore only be available as an Avant to start with, with the unrivalled combination of 580 bhp and a maximum 1,660 litres of luggage space.

The Audi RS6 Avant will be launched in April 2008.
