his is a '17 Audi RS 6 Avant. Designed by Stephan Fahr-Becker, the RS 6 is a high-performance version of the Audi A6. Only available in an Avant (station wagon) body style, the RS 6 is powered by a 4.0L CRDB twin-turbocharged V8 making 553 BHP; this is mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. As typical with virtually all high-performance Audi models the RS 6 is equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds. Speed is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h) by default but with the addition of the Dynamic or Dynamic Plus packages power is increased up to 190 mph (305 km/h); the car also features a start-stop system and a cylinder on demand system. The RS 6 was not offered in North America, with the RS 7 Sportback offered in its place; that car shares the same engine and platform as the RS 6. The RS 6 was facelifted in 2015 and was discontinued in 2018 with the introduction of the next generation RS 6. If someone needs a car that can shock the competition but can haul the family around in style and speed, the RS 6 is your go-to.
Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2018 in the Factory Fresh series of the mainline. This casting has seen five known releases, the last in 2021 in the Fast Wagons segment of the Car Culture Premium line; this is currently its only Premium-style release.
