Audi pays homage to classics with limited Edition RS 6 Avant GT
The limited edition RS 6 Avant GT is a formidable addition to its lineup that pushes the boundaries of performance. Limited to only 660 units globally, this special edition is a tribute to Audi's rich racing heritage and a testament to its commitment to innovation.
The RS 6 Avant GT dazzles with its aesthetic appeal. A carbon hood and fenders, combined with striking 22-inch wheels, command attention. The car's design is a homage to the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO, featuring heritage decals celebrating the brand's racing legacy. The interior is equally impressive, boasting bucket seats, a unique colour scheme, and exclusive numbering on the centre console.
Performance-wise, the RS 6 Avant GT is a powerhouse. Its twin-turbocharged V8 engine churns out 463kW and 850Nm of torque, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience. The adjustable coil-over suspension and optimised quattro sport differential enhance its dynamic capabilities.
The RS 6 Avant GT's development has an inspiring backstory. It originated from the RS 6 GTO concept, a project led by twelve apprentices at Audi. Their creativity and skill are evident in every aspect of the car, from the aggressive front-end design to the functional diffuser and double wing at the rear.
In terms of engineering, the RS 6 Avant GT sets new standards. Using carbon fibre in the bonnet and fenders is a first for Audi, offering both aesthetic appeal and performance benefits. Air outlets integrated behind the wheels aid in brake cooling while removing roof rails results in a sleeker, more aerodynamic profile.
The car's colour options are equally impressive. Customers can choose from various finishes like Arkona White, Nardo Gray, and Mythos Black Metallic. The interior's red and copper accents contrast sharply, further elevating the RS 6 Avant GT's appeal.
Audi's mastery in manufacturing is evident in the RS 6 Avant GT. Unlike standard production models, this special edition is assembled at the Böllinger Höfe facility, where each unit receives personalised attention and detailing.
Set to arrive in South Africa in Q2 2024, the Audi RS 6 Avant GT is more than a car – it's a statement. It represents the pinnacle of Audi's engineering prowess and an unyielding pursuit of perfection. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the RS 6 Avant GT is not just an acquisition but a piece of automotive history.
