Audi RS6 gets 705hp Nogaro Edition
The uber estate's swansong has arrived - just not on these shores
It is cool because there will only be 150 of them and as they signify the winding up of the RS6's production run, they come with a monstrous spec. First, there is the paint job which lends the car its name. Nogaro blue - in case you're new to cars - is an homage to colour that the original RS2 came in. Therefore it is the best. (Or you can have it in black, which slightly ruins it.)
Thirdly, there is the powertrain, which comes in the 605hp Performance pack variety - meaning that you get 3.7 second 0-62mph acceleration and a top speed of 189mph. However (fourthly) Ingolstadt has realised that even that level of progress probably isn't sufficient for the Nogaro Edition's 150 customers, and has therefore enlisted the help of ABT Sportsline to optionally take the 4.0-litre TFSI's output to 705hp. And 649lb ft of torque.
The car is on sale now. So expect to see one in the PH classifieds in about six months, listed at a vastly higher price. If we're lucky.
I always thought the RS2 came in RS Blau, not Nogaro?
That RS2 blue colour looked fantastic at time. I got my Mk4 Golf Gti in Jazz blue because it looked similar!
Anyway, this looks good. Utterly pointless but....
