Audi RS6 Introduction

The new 2017 Audi RS6 comes with all-wheel drive, a more clever option of a V8 instead of a V10 engine. The Audi has better balance and more thought out use of resources.To get your hands on one of these will cost around £80,175 – £87,090 depending on the specification you want and any optional extras. There are two different options available for the RS6, and each depends on what you are looking for. Firstly, is the Performance pack this is the fastest, but also the most expensive. Secondly, is the standard edition, this is also the cheapest and most environment-friendly.

RS6 Engine and Performance

The Audi RS6 is packed with performance, don’t forget this is a Luxury Estate Car. The RS6 can outrun a Porsche 911 GT2 up to 60mph. The 0-62 in the standard RS6 edition is 3.9 seconds which is unbelievable for a 2.1-tonne vehicle. The performance pack edition 0-62 is 3.7 which is a little quicker. The horsepower inside the standard version is 552bhp which is well enough power for this beast. The performance pack edition, however, adds an extra 45hp which would bring it up to 597bhp, and this cuts the 0-62 by 0.2 seconds. The new RS6 now handles a lot better, and the new V8 engine is shorter compared to the previous V10. The top speed of this performance packed luxury estate is 155mph, which isn’t bad considering how heavy it is.

The speed in the car never feels uncontrollable, but on a less grip surface, the vehicle can be smashing power on both axles and well beyond 60mph with ESP off. The RS6 engine is full on fiercely urgent until it reaches up to three-figure speeds. The engine, however, is flexible even under merciless power and full load. The accelerator pedal is calibrated with professional judgement.

Only when the exhaust clears out, you will be able to hear and feel the savageness.
