The
2008 Audi RS 6 Avant is the most powerful production model
from Audi. Its immense power comes from a twin-turbo V10 developing
580 horsepower and 480 ft-lbs (650 Nm) of torque at 1,500
- 6,250 rpm. The power is run through a six-speed tiptronic
gearbox to all four wheels, 60 percent of the power reaches
the rear wheels while the remainder is sent to the front.
The suspension of the Audi RS 6 has been designed for high
speed performance as well as comfort on long journeys. The
shock absorbers and spring settings, have been adapted to
the new level of performance. In terms of driving feel the
Audi RS 6 combines the precision and cornering ability of
a sports car with the relaxed straight-line stability of a
comfortable cruiser. The standard Dynamic Ride Control DRC,
from the current Audi RS 4
and consistently enhanced, plays a major role here. This system
reduces pitching and rolling movements about the longitudinal
and transverse axis of the vehicle entirely without the aid
of electronics and solely according to the laws of fluid dynamics.
The potent braking system of the Audi RS 6 can be further
enhanced with the 20" wheel option and ceramic brakes
with 420 mm discs at the front and 356 mm discs at the rear.
The interior of the 2008 Audi RS 6 offers an impressive synthesis
of sporty elegance and exclusiveness. The extremely high standard
of craftsmanship typical for Audi is complemented by an equally
sporty and elegant combination of top-class materials. Carbon
fiber, aluminium, leather and Alcantara create an ambiance
that is unique even in the world of high-performance cars.
The steering wheel is available in two forms, the multifunction
sports steering wheel with a 3-spoke design, and the distinctive
flat-bottomed RS sports steering wheel, likewise with multifunction
controls and shift paddles for the transmission. The cockpit
of the RS 6 additionally features a boost pressure gauge.
Displays for boost pressure, oil temperature and lap timer
can be called up via the driver information system.
