German Car Zone

Audi's RS6 sedan was finally officially released this week, but the German racers and tuners at Abt Sportsline have just unveiled their take on the RS6 Avant. Not content with 580hp (426kW) and plenty of room for family and friends, Abt has boosted output to 700hp (515kW) and 590lb-ft (800Nm) of torque, making the Abt RS6 Avant one of the most insanely powerful people carriers in the world.

The tuning package matches or exceeds the MTM RS6 Avant, released just a couple weeks ago. Though Abt hasn’t released performance specs for the tire-shredding wagon, the MTM version manages the sprint to 60mph (96km/h) in under five seconds and is reportedly capable of speeds in excess of 187mph (300km/h), so the Abt RS6 should post similar numbers.
Among the extensive list of improvements to the car, Abt has removed the electronic speed limiter, re-tuned the ECU to boost power, outfitted a new aerodynamics package that includes a carbon fiber front lip spoiler and rear diffuser, a wide range of custom alloy wheels, custom Abt-branded floor mats and shift knobs, plus a specially-tuned rear muffler with four exit pipes. As usual with Abt’s tuning kits, the individual elements are highly customizable and most can be had individually or as a package.
Pricing for the speed-limiter removal starts at €1,500 ($2,200) and the ECU tuning will cost €4,900 ($7,200), but both pale in comparison to the car’s base price of €107,800 ($158,000).

They mean: under four seconds...

Its staggering. Speed refinement build quality and the feeling that 700 bhp should have been the car's standard power from the beggining.
Mtm must be really good to better this. Keramic breaks. A MUST! Sassi not overwelmed with power.

staggering performances from mTm!

As for Abt, well those rims look weak and cheap on the Rs6

Plus Abt photo chopped that picture..

What a beast it is with those amazing figures... looks hot too! I just love mental cars!

does anyone have any performance figures (0_160km, 0-200km) for the rs6 sedan abt? also any thoughts about an aftermarket exhaust. Does for example in the case of the rs6 reduced back pressure provide increased performance?
