LONDON: The newly unveiled RS 6 Avant performance and RS 7 Sportback performance now comes with bigger and better power output figures than ever before. In the international market, the company may start deliveries of the model to interested customers sometime in the first quarter of 2016. In Germany, the new Audi RS 6 Avant performance would cost about 117,000 Euros, while the new Audi RS 7 Sportback performance would command a price of 121,700 Euros.
Under the hood, the vehicles get 4.0 TFSI V8 petrol engine that generates an enhanced power power output of about 597bhp and 700nm of torque. However, it also gets a overboost function that allows the driver to temporarily gain 750nm of torque. Mated to a revised eight-speed automatic gearbox and featuring an upgraded chassis, the vehicle is capable of clocking a 0-62mph in just about 3.7 seconds, which is indeed about 0.2seconds faster than the regular RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback.
