The new RS 6
It doesn’t get much better than the RS 6. For a start, this is the single most powerful
model ever to be produced by Audi. Not simply because it features a massive V10 TFSI
engine which accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 4.6 seconds, but because it’s capable of
moving even the most laid-back of motorists to complete and utter awe.
Its predecessor certainly did. Launched by Audi over 4 years ago, the first-generation
RS 6 was so revered for its incredible performance potential that it created a cult all of
its own. It’s no surprise, then, that this updated 580PS 5.0-litre TFSI model has already
brought automotive enthusiasts to their knees. The perfect position from which to
admire a supremely spor ty set of 20” alloy wheels, glinting braking system and
enlarged front air-intakes.
Allow us to introduce you to the superlative of Vorsprung durch Technik – the Audi RS 6.

Engine
The power plant. The heart of the RS 6. This ten-cylinder engine
generates impressive torque of up to 650 Nm all the way from
1,500 to 6,250 rpm. The enhanced 6-speed tiptronic gearbox with
shortened shift times adds dynamism to your drive, reacting to
your every impulse in just fractions of a second.
A twin-turbocharged 10-cylinder 580PS TFSI engine. The words
alone are enough to set the adrenaline coursing through your
veins. So just imagine the thrill when you find yourself pinned
back into your Satin Nappa leather Sports seat by the sheer
force of 650 Nm of torque – accelerating the RS 6 from a standing
start to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds.
Not so long ago, that kind of power was unimaginable. Until
®
TFSI
came onto the scene, that is. This unique Audi technology,
which injects fuel directly and precisely into the engine’s
combustion chambers, was originally developed for Le Mans to
deliver increased power and torque as well as enhanced fuel
efficiency. It’s seen Audi win the world-famous 24-hour endurance
race year after year after year, leaving the competition trailing far
behind. And it does exactly the same in the Audi RS 6.
Permanent all-wheel-drive
It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever
since it was first introduced over 25 years ago – a technology that
delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics
which make the RS 6 so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro
permanent all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way
that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven
wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or
pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both
dynamic and safe. In the RS 6, asymmetric-dynamic torque
distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front
and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and
gradient, which increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.

All RS 6 models have the following items of standard equipment:
The equipment for the Audi RS 6 builds upon the standard equipment for the Audi S6. The typical characteristics of the
Audi RS models emphasise the exclusive, dynamic and sporty character of the Audi RS 6. It is unmistakable.

Transmission
tiptronic
The 6-speed tiptronic®transmission system is a form of automatic transmission,
standard on all Audi RS 6 models. The technology incorporates DSP – or the Dynamic
Shift Programme – which aligns and converts the engine’s high power and torque into
both sporty performance and operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes,
reduced weight and optimised gear-shifting.

In the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’ (Sport) programmes, the advanced electronics used in
tiptronic
gear-changes. The driver can override automatic mode by moving the gear lever
into a tiptronic
driving style.
