Overview
- The RS6 GT is a sold‑out, 660‑unit halo estate priced around £177,115, with roughly 60 UK allocations and specialised assembly split between Neckarsulm and Böllinger Höfe.
- Extensive hardware changes include passive coilovers with stiffer anti‑roll bars, GT‑specific rear differential, rear‑steer calibration, carbonfibre panels and vast carbon‑ceramic brakes, yielding 0‑62mph in 3.3sec and about 190mph.
- Evo’s head‑to‑head names the BMW M5 CS the more rewarding driver’s car, even as the RS6 GT’s grip, braking and precision draw high praise.
- Audi’s new RS5 plug‑in hybrid pairs a 25.9kWh battery and a transmission‑mounted e‑motor with a 2.9‑litre twin‑turbo V6 for about 630bhp, a quoted 54‑mile EV range and a kerb weight near 2,355–2,370kg.
- A novel electromechanical rear torque‑vectoring unit (10bhp, 30lb ft) enables aggressive yaw control and drift modes, highlighting dynamic gains that counterbalance the added mass and foreshadow the next RS6’s expected PHEV direction.
