The desire of many to buy an Audi RS6 Sedan is understandable, but only the RS6 Avant station wagon is officially released. There is one unofficial Audi RS6 C7 Sedan, a high-performance sedan that you rarely see on the road like.In this private project, the only one in the world, the Audi RS6 C7 Sedan started life as a standard S6, but later received a full portion of improvements from the RS6 Avant station wagon. The owner of the car struggled to bring the performance of his sedan to the level of the RS6 Avant Performance, which was released in late 2015.
While the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine under the hood of the Audi S6 develops only 450 hp. power, with upgrades to the RS6 level, it started churning out a monstrous 600bhp to match the source of the inspiration. Also unofficial tuning touched on visual improvements: the black sedan received the typical oval exhaust tips like the RS6 model.
As a result, the acceleration dynamics of the Audi RS6 C7 Sedan from 0 to 100 km / h was reduced to 3.4 seconds, or a full second faster than the S6. In fact, it's even faster than the RS6 Avant Performance, which sprints like this in 3.7 seconds. Information on maximum speed not given, however, a similar station wagon develops 305 km / h.

Imagine a situation: the crossroads of a small provincial town. Two cars drive up to the traffic light: a station wagon with an exemplary family man driving and sports sedan with a young asshole in the driver's seat. And so, only a few moments remain until the moment when the green light of the traffic light turns on, the young imagined with a grin turns to the family man and frightens the latter with the roar of a powerful motor.
Finally, there comes a moment of truth, both cars rush forward and suddenly, the station wagon quickly rushes forward and in a matter of seconds leaves behind the discouraged young driver. Utopia? No. It's just that this station wagon is nothing more than an Audi RS6 Avant with an engine in 580 Horse power and sports management. At the same time, the car is very practical. So, a combination of incongruities - and this is the whole Audi RS6 Avant. But it should be noted that the RS6 Avant is a very high-class car, comfortable, fast and at the same time roomy, but it costs, to put it mildly, not cheap.
With all this, the car's engine is equipped with a double turbocharging, and the Audi RS6 Avant itself accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.6 seconds. You can imagine the feeling of a driver with such power under the seat, which literally strives to escape from under it. Pushed on the gas, and the Audi RS6 Avant leaped away like a huge but fast metal predator. However, more on that later. The torque is 650Nm thanks to the two turbines with which the engine of this car is equipped (each of these turbines is capable of generating a pressure of 0.7 bar). The RS6 is equipped with a six-speed Tiptronic gearbox. The Audi rs6 avant car can accommodate five people and has five doors. An explosive mixture, isn't it? In theory, a car with such serious performance should be on a race track or on the mirror asphalt of a night city somewhere on illegal street races. But the weight of the car is too much for real racing. No matter how hard the engineers tried to reduce the weight as much as possible, all their efforts were brought to naught by the station wagon body. At about five meters in length, this car is really roomy and comfortable as a family car, which is great to go on a picnic with friends and take everything you need with you. And at this point, the question naturally arises: why does the RS6 Avant have so many purely racing advantages in its arsenal, such as TFCI technology, which was very successfully applied in the R8 race car? Well, but on such a car you can drive with friends and go out with the whole family for the weekend. Here is such a wagon 2 in 1 for the fan of the combination of speed / spaciousness.
Audi RS6 Avant - definitely fast car, but this is not a racing car either. Race cars are usually built exactly the opposite: minimum weight, minimum passengers and maximum engine power. But the rs6 makers were clearly not looking for easy ways. Using their engineering talent to the fullest, these auto makers tried to lighten the RS6 Avant as much as possible (after all, the developers had to abandon the twelve-cylinder engine for the same reason), so that later it would be loaded with all kinds of outdoor attributes and various picnic devices. Audi RS6 Avant is a very powerful quality sports station wagon (so to speak), but it is not a pure racing car, but it is not a station wagon in the usual sense. We can say that this is a cross between a sports car and a family car.
So, we sit in the sports chair, get comfortable, inspect the dashboard, start the car and listen to the sound of the engine, in which you can feel the real power. Well, and then emotions on the rise. We get under way, accelerate in a matter of seconds and become participants in the pursuit of adrenaline. At the same time, the car behaves quite confidently on the road, even in bad weather. Ceramic brakes and sports handling are also making themselves felt. It should be noted that Audi car The RS6 Avant has a sports suspension that can be adjusted to the level of stiffness. In general, the car is controlled quite easily. However, this car also has serious disadvantages, such as, for example, high consumption fuel.
Inside, the Audi RS6 Avant pleases with two racing seats, which are covered in Alcantara, a real sports steering wheel with a flat rim at the bottom and of course a large capacity: 565 liters and 1660 liters. with folded backs.
The wheel arches of the RS6 Avant are widened, due to which the massive wheels of the car give it a certain impressiveness. For the rest, appearance Avant-a is no different from any station wagon of this class.
It should be noted that this is a car, first of all, for an amateur, and not for a wide range of motorists. Due to its level and the original combination of speed and practicality, this car has won its audience of connoisseurs, but here we cannot talk about mass character. Of course, the Audi RS6 Avant is a high-end car, practical and powerful, but this combination is quite specific - hence the lack of widespread success with this model.

It is difficult to imagine a family station wagon that can drive and punish many sports coupes or sedans. Such cars exist, they are mainly made by Audi. Today we will talk about the second generation Audi RS6 C6.
Avant, this is what the manufacturer calls its station wagon cars. In your head, the question probably appeared - "Why make a station wagon sporty?" This is the brand's philosophy, aerodynamics is also better, but there are problems with other important aspects. This is also what many car enthusiasts want so that they have a fast yet comfortable car for the family.
The car was released in 2008 and was produced for only two years. Then a sedan was still available, produced only in the Avant body.
Appearance
The design of the car is not bad, there are very few differences from the civilian version. Here is just another non-aggressive body kit. The model does not scream that she is athletic. Installed simple halogen headlights, additionally installed xenon. The embossed hood, a huge radiator grille, the bumper has massive air intakes, cooling brakes of the Audi RS6 C6. Also, the bumper is equipped with headlight washers.
When viewed from the side, the only difference from the civilian version is the chrome-plated rear-view mirrors - a feature of the RS series. Here, the wheel arches are just as inflated, in the lower part there is the same stamping line. The car is equipped with 19 alloy wheels.
The stern has a stylish trunk lid that forms a small spoiler. Installed narrow optics with a beautiful interior design. The lower part received a large horizontal chrome insert. The massive bumper is highlighted by two chrome tailpipes, which are located at the edges of the huge diffuser.
The station wagon differs at the rear, with the other larger headlights catching the most attention.
Dimensions of the station wagon Audi RS6 Avant:
- length - 4928 mm;
- width - 1889 mm;
- height - 1460 mm;
- wheelbase - 2846 mm;
- ground clearance - 120 mm.
The size of the sedan practically did not receive any differences, only the height was 4 mm less.
Decoration inside
The salon also did not receive any big differences from the civilian model. The only most noticeable thing is the seats. The sports seats received leather upholstery, impressive lateral support, electrically adjustable and heated seats. The seats are quite comfortable and are also suitable for sport driving... The back row is a sofa that can accommodate three passengers. The upholstery is also leather. In general, there is enough free space.
The seat of the PC6 pilot is most interesting, because the car is sporty. A branded sports steering wheel is installed with a slope at the bottom. The presence of the multimedia system control keys reminds that the car is still designed for normal everyday movement. Dashboard has large analog tachometer and speedometer gauges, along the edges are small fuel and oil pressure gauges. Quite informative small on-board computer installed in the middle of the tidy.
The center console was not equipped with a sporty style. Its upper section has a medium-sized display for the Audi RS6 C6 multimedia system with integrated navigation. Below, under the air deflectors, there are buttons for conventional systems of the type of alarm. After we are greeted by an intuitive dual-zone climate control unit with buttons and displays.
The interior has many seats covered with leather, black and light leather are available to the buyer. There are also wooden inserts in the interior. The trunk is excellent, the sedan is 546 liters, the station wagon is 565 liters, plus you can fold the rear sofa, increasing the volume by 3 times.
The dividing tunnel is made almost entirely of carbon. It is equipped with a huge gearbox handbrake with chrome insert and leather upholstery. This area has a motor start button, multimedia system control keys and an electronic parking brake... There is also a niche with cup holders and an armrest.
The salon looks expensive, it is comfortable, fully suitable for full-fledged everyday use. Great interior!
Specifications RS6 C6
Now it's worth talking about the most important thing - the engine. The model is equipped with only one power unit- V10 with twin turbocharging. This 5-liter engine produces 580 horsepower available at 6250 rpm. Torque equal to 650 H * m is available at 1500 rpm. The main role is played by turbines, each generating a pressure of 0.7 bar.
This TFSI engine in the Audi RS6 Avant works in conjunction with an automatic 6-speed Tiptronic hydromechanical gearbox. Of course, there is a proprietary all-wheel drive quattro system adored by Audi fans.
With regard to the dynamics, the situation is as follows - the car accelerates to a hundred in 4.6 seconds, the maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. The sedan is 0.1 times faster, although it feels like the opposite.
You should immediately understand that such an engine loves gasoline, it needs 20 liters in the city. The manufacturer claims that the 95th will do, but it is better to use the 98th.
This is an excellent engine in terms of reliability, judging by the reviews for a similar segment. Also, the unit is well tuned. Installing Stage2 and removing the maximum speed limit helps to reach 300 km / h, the power reaches 700 horses.
The suspension is quite comfortable, there is sport mode making the chassis stiff. The car brakes are also gorgeous, huge disc brakes with ventilation and perforation are installed. The calipers are painted in the corporate color of the series - red.
The cost of buying and maintaining Audi RS6
Of course, such a car cannot be cheap. Now it is out of production, so you can buy it only at secondary market... The previous owners sell it for an average of 1.8 million rubles, which is not much compared to the new generation.
The condition of the purchased sample depends entirely on the previous owner. The car will have to be serviced in any case, repairs are not cheap, spare parts are very expensive. Therefore, it is unnecessary to buy this car with the last money or without a normal income - from 50,000 rubles minimum.
The Audi RS6 C6 is a great and inexpensive car compared to the current version. It is just perfect for a person who loves speed, but also appreciates comfort. The new generation is even better, but not everyone can afford it, why not think about its predecessor.

Among other world premieres at the Moscow international motor show along with the modernized Audi A6, the RS6 sedan was shown (previously it was only available with a station wagon) - a car that combines the respectability of a business class with the unbridled temperament of a sports car. In the neighborhood “A6” and “RS6” stood at a parking lot in Dusseldorf, where journalists were invited to test drive these models.
ABSOLUTELY freaky machine this "Ereska". In the most benevolent sense. From a distance, if you don't look closely, perhaps, you can confuse it with the modernized “A6” (the sports car, of course, received the same innovations as the usual “six”). Up close, of course, even an ignorant person will pay attention to such differences as the rhombic “honeycomb” of the radiator grille and the bright nameplate next to the “Audi” emblem, and the impressive dimensions of the air intakes say something. But in general, it is a solid business sedan, and judging by its appearance, you do not expect any dirty trick from it.
In general, if there is no desire to drive, he is quite consistent with such an image. A respectable large car, in which it is quite possible to go for a ride with the whole family, including grandmother with her sick heart and a nervous lapdog.
But if an idea arises to grab on the highway, as they say, with all the money, then it is better to leave the family at home. This is the case when one is at the helm, and the rest are sick of rapid maneuvers. In this mode, the “RS6” turns into a car for an egoist. Or for two egoists: the second, sitting in the front passenger seat, is impatiently waiting for his turn to pick up the sporty “trimmed” steering wheel from below.
Representatives of “Audi” are proud of the power of this sedan for a reason. Its five-liter twin-turbo V10 develops as much as 580 hp. The electronic “collar” limiting the maximum speed to 250 km / h is clearly close to this tornado in the form of a car. True, at the request of the buyer, the speed limit can be pushed back to 280 km / h.

The body of the new modification, of course, is lighter than that of the station wagon, and due to this, the dynamics have improved. The sedan fires from the start up to 100 km / h in 4.5 s. “RS6 Avant” is 0.1 sec slower.
We, alas, did not have an autodrome at hand to try the “RS6” in its entirety. My partner and I only exchanged meaningless remarks like: "Look how it goes!" - although in an amicable way there was no place for the supercar. Weekday, on the road - cars, cars, cars ... Even on the autobahn (where to keep 130 km / h - a recommendation, not an order), only the speedometer needle will come up to two "hundreds", as you run into the tail of another group of cars and again need slow down. Of course, it was not without lightning-fast acceleration under the victorious roar of the motor, instant braking and sharp turns, but - not to the extent that you can then show off your driver's daring. What stuck in my memory is the unsurpassed ease with which the "RS6" overtakes not so fast cars... Slightly press the gas pedal, and the competitor (although what kind of competitor he is to you, just a companion for a couple of seconds!) Remains behind. No wonder - with 580 "horses" and a torque of 650 Nm, which is at your service in the range from 1.500 to 6.250 rpm. A plus four-wheel drive, plus a sports automatic transmission, plus the corresponding chassis settings ...
Not the most global problem in the world: the desire to buy an Audi RS6 Sedan, but only the RS6 Avant station wagon is officially released. There is a solution to everything and yet there is one unofficial Audi RS6 C7 Sedan. It's a high-performance sedan that's rarely seen on the road.
The only one in the world Audi RS6 C7 Sedan started life as a standard S6, but later received a full batch of improvements from the RS6 Avant station wagon. The owner of the car was struggling to bring the performance of his sedan to the level that came out in late 2015.
While the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine under the hood of the Audi S6 develops only 450 hp. power, with upgrades to the RS6 level, it started churning out a monstrous 600bhp to match the source of the inspiration. Also unofficial tuning touched on visual improvements: the black sedan received the typical oval exhaust tips like the RS6 model.
As a result, the acceleration dynamics of the Audi RS6 C7 Sedan from 0 to 100 km / h was reduced to 3.4 seconds, or a full second faster than the S6. In fact, it's even faster than the RS6 Avant Performance, which sprints like this in 3.7 seconds. Information about the maximum speed is not given, however, a similar station wagon develops 305 km / h.
