In terms of estate cars, the Audi RS6 is the strongest, which can be bought from the product range of Audi. In the meanwhile 20 year old model history, the Audi RS6 in the C8 version, since 2019, is now in its fourth edition of the family station wagon with racing genes. In 2002, the Audi with the model designation RS6 was included in the program in Ingolstadt for the first time. Today we are presenting this Audi RS6 in our blog from the label Solido. The model, which was given the name RS6-R due to the intervention of noble tuner Abt, is available in the colors matt purple and Daytona grey. The models are created in scale of 1:43 and have all the details that the role model in scale 1:1 also has. In addition to the exclusive sports seats and the expansive 4-pipe exhaust system, there are also various carbon add-on parts on the RS6-R from Abt.
The first Audi RS6 was presented in 2002 at the Geneva Motorshow on the basis fo the A6 C5. The very first built turbo-charged V8-engine in an Audi, developed 450 hp. Back at the time as well as today, the RS6 differs from the standard A6 through wider fenders, wider side skirts, changed front and rear bumper and its oval, twin-branch exhaust system. In 2008, the C5 was followed by the C6. The C6 received a V10-engine with a displacement of 5 liters and an output of 580 hp. The third generation followed in December 2012 with the RS6 C7. In the C7, the bi-turbocharged V8-engine found its place in the front again. The consumption of the all-wheel drive RS6 could be reduced to just 9.8 liters/100 km through various measures, such as cylinder deactivation. The C7, which is locked at 250 kph, accelerates from 0-100 in 3.9 seconds.
The fourth generation of the RS6 has been available since 2019 in the form of the C8 model. As with the C7, the C8 is only offered as an Avant. The RS6 version of the C8 differs greatly from the normal version of the A6. Only the roof, the tailgate and the front doors were taken over from the standard A6. Otherwise, Audi has reached deep into the bag of tricks of its own model range. The headlights come from the A7, the frameless radiator grille is based on the R8. The air inlets on the bonnet and the four centimeter widened bodywork clearly distinguish the RS6 from the A6 or the S6. It also has its own rear diffuser and 21-inch wheels as standard. 22 inches are also possible for an additional charge. The engine has remained the V8 of the previous model. However, this was supplemented by a mild hybrid drive. The performance increased again, so that the C8 now delivers around 600 hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 3.6 seconds. In the basic version, however, the hp monster is locked at 250 kph. If that is too slow for you, you can use the dynamic package. There the Ingolstadt family station wagon then manages 280 kph before the lockdown takes effect. With the dynamic package plus you can reach an impressive top speed of 305 kph. The Audi RS6-R from tuner Abt is limited to 125 units and delivers an unbelievable 740 hp. A customer puts almost 70,000 euros on the table for the conversion of the standard RS6 into an RS6-R. The station wagon completes the sprint from 0 to 100 kph in 3.2 seconds. The RS6-R is locked at 320 kph.
