German tuning house, ABT, has revealed a special, limited-run ABT RS6 Avant to celebrate its 120th anniversary in the business. Using an Audi RS6 Avant as its base, ABT has spiced things up with a Power S package as well as an exterior and interior styling kit.
The 4.0 litre TFSI V8 now develops 170 hp and 220 Nm more than it originally did, thanks to ABT’s upgrades. The sum of power is now rated at 730 hp and 920 Nm of torque. The eight-speed tiptronic torque converter auto transmission remains, sending power to all four wheels via Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system.
The tuner hasn’t revealed its RS6 Avant’s zero to 100 km/h time, but claims that the model is now capable of hitting a top speed of 320 km/h. Likewise, we reckon that performing the century sprint should be a lot quicker here than the original’s 3.7-second time.
A host of exterior carbon-fibre upgrades has been included, starting with additional air inlet panels, front flics, side and rear skirts, fender inserts, a rear spoiler and wing mirror covers. Large 22-inch five, twin-spoke alloy wheels are included, wrapped in 295/25R22 Dunlop rubbers.
Inside, the ABT RS6 Avant gets two-tone leather upholstery, with its headliner, door pillars, glove compartment and several other items wrapped in Alcantara. The dashboard features a unique plaque highlighting the 120th anniversary model and which of the 12 units it is. This example, the ABT RS6 “1 of 12” will be on display at the coming Geneva Motor Show.
