2023 (73) | Audi RS6 Avant Performance Carbon Vorsprung

The Audi RS6 Performance Carbon Vorsprung represents the most highly specified and powerful interpretation of Audi’s flagship high-performance estate. Powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as the standard RS6, the Performance Carbon Vorsprung receives more power at 621 bhp and 850 Nm of torque, over the standard car’s 592 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. This, paired with an 8-speed tiptronic transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system, delivers 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph.

As well as increased power, the Performance model introduces reduced sound insulation for a more pronounced V8 soundtrack, and a lighter self-locking centre differential for sharper responses. The Carbon Vorsprung specification adds extensive carbon-fibre exterior detailing, including the front splitter, mirror housings, side trims and rear diffuser, alongside distinctive 22” matt black 5 Y-spoke alloy wheels and darkened exterior accents.

Advanced chassis technology includes adaptive RS air suspension, rear-wheel steering, a sport differential and carbon-ceramic brakes, enabling remarkable agility for a car of its size. Inside, the cabin blends premium materials with RS-specific design, featuring Valcona leather, carbon-fibre trim and Audi’s dual-screen digital cockpit. The result is an exceptionally capable performance estate combining supercar-level pace with everyday practicality.
