New images of the bespoke Audi RS6 Avant have been released by Audi Exclusive, showing a notable customization. Judging by what is presented to us in the photos, the super-wagon has received a number of cool and refreshing touches which make it look quite sinister.

Power is provided by the familiar twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine which is able to boost 560 PS (412 kW) and a peak torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). The power unit is mated to an eight-speed tiptronic transmission and a quattro all-wheel drive system. The car is able to speed up from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds before scoring a top speed of up to 305 km/h (189 mph).

The nature of the RS6 Avant is highlighted by matte gray exterior with carbon fiber on the mirror caps and grilles. Moreover, the model benefits from sleek black alloy wheels. The encompassing sense of sportiness is continued and preserved in the interior too. The cabin consists of stylish black leather seats and carbon fiber trim. There is also salient yellow stitching which can be seen on the dashboard, center console, door panels and seats of the car.

Audi Launches 2014 RS6 Avant Plus?

2014 Audi RS6 Avant was unveiled back in December 2012. The standard engine of the car is downsized twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 TFSI which produces a peak output of 560 hp (412 kW) between 5,700 and 6,700 rpm, and a constant 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque between 1,750 and 5,500 rpm. With this unit the car needs only 3.9 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. We have just understood from our colleagues at GTSpirit that Audi is planning to introduce to the market more powerful version of the 2014 Audi RS6 Avant.

According to them, a dealer based in the UK has leaked the official details about the updated model. The uprated RS6 Avant Plus will be powered by the same engine, however it will be boosted to deliver up to 600 hp (441 kW), which means a 40 hp.

Next to the engine modifications, the car will also get improvements in terms of agility and handling. Probably this will be achieved via weight-savings. Another exciting fact that has also leaked is that the new RS6 Avant Plus will be a full production model.

Of course, some cosmetic treatments are also expected to happen. For instance: badging and interior enhancements. Given that the information on the 2014 RS6 Avant Plus has already leaked, we think that the official details from Audi will be disclosed shortly.
