• TFSI V8 twin-turbo engine: 412 kW/560 hp and 700 Nm
• Efficient: Cylinder on Demand technology
• Audi ultra 100 kg weight saving
• Performance-class, average fuel consumption of 9.8 l/100 km
Audi presents the new Audi RS 6 Avant. It is lighter, more efficient and faster than its predecessor.The 4.0 TFSI V8 twin-turbo engine with an output of 412 kW/560 bhp gives the Audi RS 6 Avant has a top speed of 305 km / h. The sprint from 0-100 km / h takes just 3.9 seconds. The average consumption is 9.8 l/100 km.
The new Audi RS 6 Avant is only because of its enormous trunk (up to 1680 liters) practical enough for everyday use. It features the new 4.0 TFSI V8 engine with a peak output of 412 kW/560 hp (from 5700 to 6700 rpm). The maximum torque of 700 Nm is available in wide speed range of 1750-5500 rpm.
Eagerly character, impressive sound, absolute performance
Also thanks to the twin turbo technology is the power output of the direct-injection V8 almost linear.The model developed specifically for this intake system contributes to this. The sound of the V8 is impressive and thanks to special valves in the exhaust sound more insistently to make.
The new Audi RS 6 Avant sprints in 3.9 seconds from 0-100 km / h. In standard specification, the top speed limited to 250 km / h. With the optional Dynamic Package increases the top speed to 280 km / h and with the Dynamic Package plus even up to 305 km / h.
Optimum efficiency
The new Audi RS 6 Avant is compared with its predecessor 100 kg lighter. This is because the Audi ultra lightweight construction. He is also equipped with a large number of efficiency-enhancing technologies. Default instance Cylinder on Demand (COD). At low engine load switches the system off four cylinders. Once the driver power ‘ask’, the four cylinders again. This happens in milliseconds and without the occupants noticing. The ‘four-cylinder mode will be displayed on the central display. COD provides only for a consumption reduction of approximately 5%. At lower speeds, the gain as high as 10%. Active engine mounts prevent unwanted vibrations are transferred. Also a start-stop system and intelligent heat management are standard. The combination of all these technologies, the average consumption of 9.8 l/100 km. Either: a reduction of up to 40% compared to its predecessor.
Eight-speed tiptronic transmission
The 4.0 TFSI is associated with an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission. This offers two driving modes: D and S (Sport). The switching times are very short. If desired, the driver can operate the transmission manually via paddles on the steering wheel. The transmission of the eighth gear is extra long for consumption as much as possible.
Dynamics with quattro as the basis
Naturally, the new Audi RS 6 Avant quattro permanent four-wheel drive with torque vectoring and an oil cooled self-locking center differential. Thus the driving force to each wheel individually to control. For even more dynamic is a sport differential available. The electronic stabilization system ESC has a Sport mode and can even completely switched off.
The RS 6 Avant is the first RS model from Audi that is performed with a reduced (-20 mm) sports suspension with air suspension and electronically controlled damping. This system operates automatically and takes into account the road conditions, driving behavior and driving mode the driver has chosen via Audi drive select. Optionally, the Sports suspension plus with steel springs and adjustable dampers available. These dampers are using oil lines diagonally connected. This leads to more stability. A sporty tuned electromechanical steering is standard. An optional Dynamic steering with variable ratio and ditto ratification available. The braking system is very high with around lightweight discs internally vented and six-piston calipers. As an option, carbon fiber-ceramic brake discs with a diameter of 420 mm. By default, the Audi RS 6 Avant comes with 20-inch alloy wheels (21-inch optional).
A true RS
Even at first glance, the RS 6 Avant as Audi RS model recognizable. Specific details are bodywork applications of matt aluminum, the grille in high-gloss black, the large roof spoiler, the diffuser and the two large oval exhaust pipes. Customers may, if desired, to choose for the aluminum or the Carbon-package. In the latter case, the splitter and before the rear diffuser even more pronounced in shape.
The interior is typical RS. Strongly protruding RS sports seats with integrated head restraints, one on the bottom flattened multifunction sports steering wheel and a large number of aluminum parts (pedals, controls) are eye-catchers. A new feature in the RS-menu of the driver information is the ‘shift light’. As the speed increases, take the number of green segmentjes in a light bar far. Once the maximum speed in sight, the light bar is red and starts blinking to indicate that switching is necessary.
Complete
The standard equipment of the RS 6 Avant is extensive including LED lights, LED tail lights, illuminated door sills, parking system plus, automatic air conditioning (four zones), MMI navigation plus with MMI touch and the Bose surround sound system with fourteen speakers. Interesting options: a head-up display, a high-end Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 15 speakers (1,200 watts) and the Bluetooth online car phone online services under your fingertips. The Audi RS 6 Avant in the second quarter of 2013 the market expected, the price will be at a later date.
