The idea of the limited edition Audi RS 6 Avant GT goes back to the project RS 6 GTO concept by a trainee group at the Necker Zurum factory to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the quattro in 2020. It will. Twelve trainees who worked in each division of Audi worked on this project for six months with the support of Audi Design, and the legendary Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO appeared in 1989 Inspired by racing cars, we created the RS 6 GTO concept. This limited edition Audi RS 6 Avant GT is the top of top models of the world’s limited 660 RS 6 Avants that have evolved this RS 6 GTO concept.

A model that stands at the top of the Audi RS 6 Avant, with a maximum output of 630PS and a maximum torque of 850Nm

The 4.0-liter V-type 8-cylinder TFSI twin-turbo engine installed in the Audi RS 6 Avant GT has a maximum output of 463kW (630PS) and a maximum torque of 850Nm. The 0-100 km/h acceleration boasts a speed of 3.3 seconds. On the other hand, by combining 48V mild hybrids and cylinders on-demand (cod) that suspends 4 of the 8 cylinders at low engine load with an 8-speed typtronic, high performance and high efficiency Balance the rate. The engine sound asserts its presence as a top model by the RS Sport exhaust system.

The Audi RS 6 Avant GT has increased the maximum speed limited by the speed limiter to 305 km/h. In response to this ultimate high performance, the brakes are equipped with a ceramic brake system with red calipers. The drive system is quattro four-wheel drive, which is also synonymous with Audi. The self-locking center differential distributes the engine driving force towards the rear axle at a ratio of 40% of the front: 60% of the rear. Depending on the road conditions, more torque is automatically transmitted to the appropriate axle. Up to 70% is allocated to the front axle or up to 85% to the rear axle improves driving dynamics and achieves outstanding traction and excellent acceleration. The rear sports differential of this model-specific tuning calculates the ideal torque distribution and distributes it aggressively and variablely to the rear wheels, reducing understeering at the handling limit of the cornering. You can do it.

The Audi RS 6 Avant GT is the first to adopt a lightweight adjustable coil over suspension exclusively for the RS 6 Avant GT, worthy of the ultimate sports grade. This suspension perfectly combines excellent dynamics and comfort while lowering the height of the RS 6 Avant by 10mm. Higher spring rates, 3-stage adjustable dampers, and stiffer stabilizers (30% at the front and 80% hard at the rear) reduce body rolls and greatly enhance the driving pleasure.

This limited edition model Audi RS 6 Avant GT is suitable for the model that reigns at the top of the series based on the RS 6 Avant performance, and adopts numerous distinctive equipment in the interior and exterior. In the exterior, the high-gloss black single-frame grille and air intake enhance the impression of wide & low, and the vertical blade of the front apron and the powerful front splitter integrated into the bumper have a sharp appearance. It emphasizes. In addition, by abolishing the roof rail for the first time in the history of the Audi RS 6 Avant, we have achieved a flatter and sportier silhouette. In addition, the carbon bonnet/bumper/fender, rear diffuser, impressive pass-through, and roof edge spoiler inspired by motorsports that contribute to the weight reduction of the RS 6 GT exclusive exterior Ra (double wings), and the black metallic polished 6-arm design 10.5J x 22-inch wheels by Audi Sport with the GT logo, etc., are the RS 6 Avant series at first glance. I claim that it is a P model. Due to the high use of carbon panels, etc., the weight is reduced by 40 kg compared to the base model RS 6 Avant performance. The 285/30R22 high-performance tire Continental Sport Contact 7, which is mounted on a dedicated wheel, provides excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces, while at high speed It suppresses understeering when nurling, achieves more accurate handling at all speed ranges, and reduces the braking distance from 100 km/h to stopping by up to 2m.

On the other hand, the interior emphasizes sportiness. RS 6 GT logo, RS 6 GT design package, RS 6 GT design package, which combines the functionality that holds the body firmly and the texture created by high-quality materials, the RS 6 GT logo The decorative panel of the Yip Black Dynamica, flat-bottom steering wheel, etc. are used as special equipment, and the center console is engraved with a serial number (production number) as a certificate of the limited model. In addition, the RS 6 Avant GT exclusive door entry lights, floor mats, and red seat belts increase the convenience and satisfaction of owning this special model.

The highest level of manufacturing at the Behringerhof plant

Unlike the RS 6 Avant performance, the limited edition Audi 6 Avant GT, which is based, will also be assembled at the Beringerhof factory after the Neckerzrum production line. . The 660 models that have completed the body manufacturing and painting process at Necker Zurum are high-performance models such as Audi R8, Audi e-tron GT quattro, and Audi RS e-tron GT It will be sent to the Beelingerhof factory, where it is produced in small quantities. Located near the Neckerzrum production base, this flexible Behringerhof base is unique within the group and has the best conditions for the finishing process of the Audi RS 6 Avant GT. The final assembly process will be carried out by seven experienced employees at three stations installed for this special limited model. Each vehicle is worked there for a full day, and all GT-specific equipment is installed manually for the world-limited 660 RS 6 Avant GTs. This includes carbon bonnets/fenders, rocker panels, double wings, front and rear aprons, adjustable coil over suspensions, etc.

At Behringerhof, production is carried out in a net-carbon neutral way. Using green power and heat from renewable energy, Beelingerhof’s achievement of carbon neutrality has been an important milestone for both the Audi brand and the Neckazrum base. CO2 emissions that cannot be avoided by renewable energy alone are offset using carbon credits from accredited environmental projects. In this way, Audi is making great progress in the environmental program “Mission:Zero” to achieve completely sustainable production.
