Audi's performance division, Quattro gmbh, have released details of their new barnstormer - the RS6 Plus.
Power is up 30bhp on the standard RS6 to a heady 480bhp and peak torque is now a gut wrenching 413ft.lb available from 1950rpm up to 6000rpm.
The increased performance has been derived from the ECU. Extensive meddling by the Audi's engineers found the extra performance from the twin turbo V8. To cope with the additional loads on components, there are two additional radiators behind the intercoolers.
To haul the beast to a halt, large drilled discs have been used which can be seen behind the new 19 inch wheels. Buyers of the RS 6 plus can in addition order sports suspension plus, at no extra charge. This provides variable damping, firmer spring/damper settings and a body 10 mm lower than the RS 6.
Three different trim packs will be available. The Blue equipment package comprises the special paint ‘Sprint Blue’ pearl effect for the body, with seats in black leather with silver-coloured Alcantara centre sections. The blue threads in the carbon fibre inserts echo the body colour.
The Audi RS 6 plus with Silver package has the special body colour Silver metallic, and the black leather seats contrast subtly with the Alcantara centre sections, which are also black. The matt brushed aluminium trim inserts provide contrast.
The Black/Cognac equipment comprises Ebony Black pearl effect and trim strips in black piano finish. Inside are Cognac-coloured leather seats with black piping.
The RS 6 Plus is only available in estate body style. Less than 999 will be built and the last three digits of the VIN are reproduced on a plaque inside the car, displayed on the centre console.
