The Audi RS6 Avant is widely praised as the ultimate estate car but this car goes one step further being the 'Performance' edition providing numerous performance upgrades and enhancements over the standard RS6. The Quattro 4-wheel drive system ensures there is plenty of grip on offer and combined with the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 provides effortless power and performance on all surfaces. The huge boot and spacious interior provide all the practicalities of a family vehicle, making this a real swiss army knife of a car. Regularly observed as a supercar in an estate's body, the RS6 Avant will certainly suit the more discreet and understated enthusiast.

This particular car is the Performance Carbon Vorsprung Edition, an evolution which is arguably the best RS6 ever. With 29 more horsepower and bigger turbos, the RS6’s 0-62mph falls to a staggering 3.4 seconds, with power figures sitting at 621bhp and four wheels propelling all 2100kg of this high-performance family car. The performance increase is not the only change to the Performance edition of the RS6 with other upgrades including the new 22” Forged Alloy Wheels, locking centre differential, new software for the rear axle and Continental SportContact 7 Performance Tyres which dramatically improve handling. Reduced sound deadening also intensifies the rumble of the awesome V8 within the cabin.

Overall, the RS6 Performance introduces some subtle, yet impactful changes over the standard car which enhance an already fantastic and incredibly capable family car.
