Supreme power package: the twin-turbo V8

The 4.0 TFSI in the new Audi RS6 Avant delivers a greater output combined with an increased level of efficiency. The V8 power unit delivers 441 kW (600 PS) and provides 800 Nm (590.0 lb-ft) of torque consistently within an incredibly wide engine speed range from 2,050 to 4,500 rpm. It takes just 3.6 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph). And in a mere 12 seconds, the high-performance Avant reaches 200 km/h (124.3 mph). The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph); this can be increased to 280 km/h (174 mph) with the optional dynamic package and even to 305 km/h (189.5 mph) with the dynamic plus package.

It features efficiency elements in the form of the mild-hybrid system (MHEV) with a 48-volt main electrical system and the cylinder on demand (COD) system that switches off four cylinders in operating situations that demand less output. Power is transmitted to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive via the standard eight-speed tiptronic with faster gear changing. The wheel-selective torque control and the optional quattro sport differential optimize traction, stability and dynamics.
