Just like the Audi Avant wagon, the new Audi RS6 Sedan is fitted with a 5.0L
twin-turbo V10 engine that churns out 580hp and 480lb-ft of torque. The
cars also comes with their permanent quattro four-wheel drive and sports suspension with dynamic ride control. Combining FSI direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and two turbochargers
tuned to deliver 1.6 bar of boost pressure, the mighty mill delivers smooth,
powerful thrust throughout the rev range. Peak torque, for example, is generated
between 1,500 to 6,250rpm - nearly the entire rev range. With a power-to-weight
ratio of 3.4 kilograms per hp, the Audi RS6 will accelerate from
0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds and top out at an electronically controlled 280km/h.
Power in the Audi RS6 Sedan is transferred to all four wheels via a new
six-speed tiptronic automatic gearbox, which has been updated for quicker gear
shifts and shorter ratios. The driver can also manually change gears either
using the shift lever or the paddles on the steering wheel.

The Audi RS6 Sedan body of the 4.93 meter (16.17 ft) RS 6 also sports a number
of distinctive features to distinguish it from the standard sedan. These include
the single-frame grill, the air intakes, adaptive lights and RS6-specific LED
daytime running lights, flared fenders and deep side skirts, a rear diffuser, a
spoiler integrated into the trunk lid and the two large oval exhaust pipes. Audi
RS6 Sedan interior is lined with carbon-fiber, aluminum, leather and Alcantara,
and is put together with the usual Audi precision and attention for detail.
Customers can choose between two steering wheels - the multifunctional sport
steering wheel with three-spoke design and the RS multifunctional sport steering
wheel. The RS version, which can optionally be covered in suede, features the
motorsport style flat-bottomed design and RS6 emblems on the lower spoke. The
RS6 also gets its own unique instrument cluster, featuring a turbocharger boost
pressure indicator, oil temperature gauge and a lap timer, all of which can be
accessed via the driver information system. Audi offers carbon-ceramic brakes
for the Audi RS6 Sedan with 19in wheels and tires as standard, however if you upgrade to the 20in wheel package you get larger diameter brakes sized at 420mm at the front and 356mm at
the rear. Other safety features include Audi’s lane assist, adaptive cruise
control, and Audi side assist. Electronic stability also comes as standard, but
can be set to a ‘Sport’ mode or even deactivated entirely.
