audi rs6 – Automobiles Review

Audi RS6 C8 „@TenTension“ by Wheelsandmore

Stage 1:
Using classic software optimization, the Audi tuner generates 710hp and 920Nm torque from the original (441kW) 600hp and 800nm of torque.
The price for the upgrade is about family-friendly 2,100 EURO With the ecu upgrade the v-max lock will be removed with all optimizations!

Stage 2:
In addition to the matching engine control, the luxury tuner installs a flap-controlled exhaust system from Capristo, which replaces the front and middle silencers for flow-optimized and acoustically relevant reasons. This upgrade results in an engine output of 725hp and a maximum of 930nm torque.
Price for stage 2 including assembly: 7,688 EURO

Stage 3:
Due to the lack of TUV approval, the exhaust system is no longer used and the tuner replaces the air duct and filter housing together with filters for optimized versions and implements modified intake manifolds. This upgrade to 786hp and 1060nm is available from Wheelsandmore with the appropriate blessing from the regulatory authorities at a price of EUR 12,521

Stage 4:
All components from stage 3 are supplemented by revised turbochargers. The series turbos receive larger turbine shafts, as well as a correspondingly modified compressor unit, reinforced axial bearings and larger-sized inputs.
Also this upgrade to crazy 965hp and 1250! nm enjoys the blessing of the TUV through appropriate acceptance and is offered at a price of just 33,529 euros.

Stage 5:
Out of any TUV standard Wheelsandmore offers the final Stage 5. Everything that disturbs power from the modern EURO 6-d Temp emission and eats performance is replaced by empty pipes beginning the downpipes from the turbochargers. Catalysts, gasoline particulate filters and all silencers other than the rear silencers fall victim to the upgrade. The result is a magical 1010 hp upgrade with electronically limited torque at 1250nm.
Upgrade price: 41,932 EURO including assembly

Audi has now also realized that the sporty driver is more and more concerned with individual options without regard to comfort and already offers a neat 22-inch gear train from the factory. Due to the correspondingly low offsets, however, the manufacturer does not invite customers or tuners to purchase alternative rims that match the accessories. Since most customers with an interest in a modified wheel / tire combination are always concerned with the maximum possible widening, in this case wider rims or wheels with almost neutral offsets are required.

Compared to some other tuners Wheelsandmore has taken a while to construct the perfectly fitting wheels and presents 3 different models including a new monoblock design.
The well-known designs 6Sporz² and F.I.W.E. are expanded by the new design “Atom”. All 3 rim models are either available on both axles with 295/30/22 Continental tires or when using the wider 11.5J rims on the rear with 285/30/22 and 335/25/22 tires. The price for a complete wheel set with TPMS sensors starts at 6,300 EURO.
All rim designs can be individually finished in any color and can also be front polished using an in-house CNC machine to implement an elegant bi-color effect.

As with the predecessor C7, suspension manufacturer KW also has various options for optimizing and lowering the suspension in its range for the current RS6. In addition to a Variant 4 coilover kit for 4,369 Euros, Wheelsandmore also offers adjustable lowering springs at a price of 755 Euros.

Prior-Design is killing it with the Audi RS6/A6 Avant PD600R project

Prior-Design Audi A6/RS6 Avant PD600R front and side view Prior-Design has just released a stunning tuning kit for the Audi A6 Avant and the RS6. It definitely contributes for bettering (if that is even possible) car’s stance. What is more, the tuning company also offers an exciting power-modification for these models. The aim is to add more excitement to the enhanced visual appearance. Well, they’ve done it right.

PD600R Widebody Aerodynamic-Kit

The widebody kit is called PD600R and features many elements that treat the Audi very well. By the way, after the installation of the aero kit, the A6 Avant and the RS6 become 8 cm wider up front and 10 cm lower at the back. How cool is that?

To go directly into details, up front the PD600R comprises of new front bumpers and front add-on spoiler as well as front widenings. The sides are adorned by new side skirts and add-on lips. Continuing to the back of the car, new are the bumper, the diffusor, the rear trunk spoiler, the roof spoiler and the rear widenings.

PD Performance Tuning

Prior-Design Audi A6/RS6 Avant PD600R partial view

In terms of performance enhancement, there are things that could be done too. The standard 3.0 TDI engine under the hood of the A6 Avant, produces no more than 313 HP (230 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque. After the customization by the specialists at Prior-Design, these numbers have jumped with 98 HP and 157 Nm, resulting in a total of 411 HP (302 KW) and 807 Nm (596 lb-ft) of torque.

When it comes to the more powerful Audi RS6 with standard 560 HP (412 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque, it gained an addition of 110 HP (81 kW) and 130 Nm. The result is impressive: 670 Hp (493 kW) and 830 Nm (613 lb-ft) of torque.

At last, but not least we have to mention that the Audis depicted in the gallery below run on 21-inch Vossen VPS-310 wheels.

As the fans know, the people at Volker SCHMIDT GmbH company in the German city of Bad Segeber, known also as SCHMIDT Revolution will do the work. And they will do it with the famous German precision and attention to the detail. We all know, that the choice of the proper trims is one of the hardest thing, when it comes to upgrading a vehicle, but the SCHMIDT Revolution team knows how it is done. And the evidence is Audi RS6 Avant.

The Avant, that comes with third generation 4.0-liter Bi-Turbo Charger V8 engine and All-Wheel-Drive system now received a special attention. The SCHMIDT Revolution team chose a set of Gambit rims: the set comes with great features, that combined together improve the handling and the overall smooth feeling of driving.

Can this ABT Audi S6 Beat the RS6 with its 550 HP?

ABT Audi S6 Front and Side View The day begins very nice, not only because of the NSX information, but also because the specialists at ABT Sportsline just sent us a couple of photos and details on their latest project. This time they have worked on an Audi S6, thus giving it super-strengths and some minimal styling tweaks.

The best thing about this tuning is the added “New Generation” performance package, which puts the S6 very near to the RS6. As a result, this car produces 550 hp (404 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb0ft), instead of 450 hp (331 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft). The maximum speed was also raised to 290 km/h. Nice, isn’t it? The good news here is that if you have an S7 you can get the same power package.

Hundred additional horses also mean that the car needs new rubbers in 21-inches of size which were of course mated with super cool wheels. The other styling features are the new fender inserts, exposed carbon mirror caps and carbon-made rear spoiler.

Moreover, there is an electronic ABT Level Control for the air suspension. It will perfectly position the wheels in their arches, while the lowered CoG will also help the S6 corner much better.

Although there aren’t any pictures of the interior, we believe ABT specialists when they say that it now includes entrance lights with their own start-stop button, floor and trunk mats with tuner’s logo and LED shifting lights in the steering wheel.

Well, does it sound plausible now that the Audi S6 can beat the RS6?

Jon Olsson is ready for Gumball 3000 with a fierce Audi RS6

Jon Olsson is obviously more than ready for the strongly awaited Gumball 3000, since he has officially unveiled a DTM inspired Audi RS6, that was specifically made for the rally. He will drive this car for Team Betsafe in the aforementioned event, which begins on 23rd of May in Stockholm and ends in Vegas.

Olsson says that he always dreamt to build a similar DTM-inspired car which has enough space to carry all ski gear to the slopes. To make everything possible, he teamed up with the ex-Koenigsegg chief engineer, Leif Tufvesson, who is currently working for Caresto.

First thing to mention here is the changed output. Here is where Stertman Motorsport stepped in, delivering STM Stage 3+ kit with super custom 18 karat gold anodized TTE9XX turbo chargers. The result is that horses are jumping between 950 and 1000.

Next, the new power is supported with Intrax Black Titan suspension and the biggest Movit brake, while at the same time there is this huge super mega race exhaust kit from Milltek Sport. The ski box atop was made by 56Nord and it actually looks like a piece of art instead of just another plastic box on the roof.

At last, the final design that Olsson made got to be applied onto the car and this happen via special foil wrap implemented by Wrapzone. This project is making us really impatient for the Gumball. How about you?

ABT Individual Makes Dreams Come True

ABT Sportsline developed an “Individual” programme which is more than just some body kits, engine upgrades and suspension features. This time, the components are designed in a way that make cars more individualized, unique and even extravagant. What is more, the exterior and interior of models that benefit from the tuning package gain exclusive proportions, dynamism and sophistication.

In terms of the exterior, the tuner offers individual body color, special wheel outlines, customized body parts, tailor-made engine performance upgrades and personal lettering on the exhaust pipes. Thanks to the ABT Individual, the interior arrives with leather upholstery which is smooth, back – stitched or suede. It can be found on seats, switches, steering wheels and under roofs. For more personalization, extra design elements, logos and special color combinations can be added too.

Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the globally largest tuner of VW and Audi cars says that; “If you go to ABT Sportsline, you are looking for something special. And for some, even that is not enough. For this very exclusive group of customers we now have tailor-made solutions.”

According to the top manager, people who own a top model like Audi S8, RS6 or the new Q7, for example, would really appreciate an additional doze of exceptional individualization. One thing is for sure then: bespoke designs are what make car owners feel special when driving their unmatched vehicles.

Audi RS6-R Impresses with 730 HP and 920 Nm

What do you think of when you read 730 HP (537 kW)? You probably imagine a massive truck or a super-sports-car. The last thing, perhaps, that comes to your mind is, well, a simple family or business-suitable car. On a side note, of course, when I say “simple” I do not really mean “simple” because a 730 HP monster can hardly be called just “simple”.

Yet, the powerful model in question is named 320 kph ABT RS6-R and is another surprise by ABT Sportsline which will be depicted at the Essen Motor Show 2014. The car is based on Audi RS6, but this time it provides even more comfort, practicality, usefulness, and luxury. This ABT creation will be limited to only 25 cars around the world.

In order to refine this model, the tuner provides it with a kit that is comprised of the ABT Engine Control unit, a specially developed software and a specially adjusted stainless steel exhaust system – including a Y-pipe and sport-type catalytic converter. There are also Dunlop high-performance tires which finalize the dynamic set-up of the RS6-R. The upgraded Audi benefits from 22-inch ABT DR alloy wheels.

Inside, ABT adorns the car with an embroidery and letterings that are simultaneously discreet and tasteful. There are also carbon-shift paddles and LED-shifting lights on the steering wheel.

Vilner’s Audi RS6 is Capable of 700 Horsepower!

It was the end of 2012 when we showed you a one-off project on Audi RS6 that made history and everyone was talking about for a long, long time. The tuner of course was Vilner and with company’s current take on RS6, it is aiming to change history once again. This Audi has just received attentive therapy not only in terms of interior modifications, but also in terms of what is standing under the hood.

Inside, the car is defined by predominantly white, blue and black colors. In details, the ceiling is wrapped in black nubbuck and the same goes for the rearview mirror. Black is also to be found on all of the plastic details, which have also been covered with rubber-like material.

The white seats are also contrasted perfectly with the seat belts in racing blue color that corresponds to the exterior paint scheme. Enough for the interior!

More importantly, it is almost unbelievable what “sleeps” under the hood of this RS6. The V10 unit, which originally produces 560 horsepower (412 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, got some “attention” from RaceChip Germany.

In particular, the company has delivered a powerbox that increases the overall power output of the car from the aforementioned 560 hp to 700 hp (515 kW) and from the standard torque to 889 Nm (654 lb-ft).

Lamborghini Aventador vs Madness Motorsport Audi RS6 – Drag Race

Power, noise, high speed and high-class performance? You can enjoy all that in this drag race between Madness Motorsport Audi RS6 vs Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

Yet, more or less, the result has been quite obvious. With its 5.0 V10 bi-turbo tuned to Stage 4 engine, Audi RS6 produces up to 900HP (671 kW) and over 1,000Nm which makes it a piece of cake for it to outrun the Aventador LP700-4. The trap speed of Audi RS6 is rated at 218.92 km/h at the drag race.

Powered by 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Lamborghini makes up to 700HP (522 kW) at 8,250RPM and 690Nm (511 lb-ft) at 5,500RPM. The engine of the Lamborghini is connected to a 7-speed ISR transmission sending the power to an AWD system. The car reaches 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.6 seconds and 0-300 km/h in 24.5 seconds. Even though according to Lamborghini official statistics the Aventador covers ¼ mile in 10.2 seconds with 219 km/h and 1 km in 19.1 seconds with 281 km/h, the truth is slightly different. Coming to a conclusion after observing the race, the car is not as fast as it is proclaimed to be. In fact, what Lamborghini Aventador demonstrates in the video is that, in reality, it makes ¼ mile in 10.930 seconds with a trap speed of 209,10 km/h.
It is not surprising, then, that Audi RS6 has performed faster and far better than the Aventador.

On a side note, apart from being more than just exciting to watch the finale of this “battle”, it cannot be left unnoticed that there has been a lack of responsible organization and behavior. The potential risk of bad consequences has been increased due to not keeping enough and safe distance between the observers and the racers. Of course having fun is crucial, but thinking and acting responsibly is even more so.

Audi RS6 AS by HPerformance

HPerformance Audi RS6 AS is a car we must review. First of all, because it includes all of the benefits of the emblematic RS6; and secondly, because it has some enhancement features which makes it unique. Oh, we forgot to mention that its powertrain got also improved and now delivers even more power. All in all, the tuners at HPerformance, who are actually based in Germany, did great work.

In particular, this third generation Audi RS6 got transformed firstly in terms of weight. Its overall mass was reduced with around 200 lb. This of course contributes towards improved fuel consumption and enhanced acceleration capabilities.

Next, the tuners added HPerformance 70 mm double pipe exhaust system which includes two controllable exhaust valves. This exhaust can be operated pneumatically via an overpressure or via electric ways using MMI. The end effect is the great sound that comes out of the pipes.

Speaking about performance, the RS6 has under its hood an enhanced version of the standard 4.0 liters V8 biturbo 4×4 engine. After the boost via control device programming, the unit delivers 700 hp (515 kW) and 860 Nm (632 lb-ft) of torque. It is mated to an eight speed automatic transmission. At last, this Audi has been equipped with a prototype of a carbon suction system.

ABT Audi RS6-R – 730HP and 920Nm

The most powerful car by ABT Sportsline – the Audi RS6-R will be also presented at the 84^th Geneva Motor Show, next week. The extreme family touring is entirely reworked – outside, inside and under the hood.

The exterior boasts new front lip with blades, air inlet covers including flics, side skirt attachments with side blades and the rear skirt. There are also new mirror caps, fender inserts and a rear spoiler. All components are manufactured from exposed red carbon, which is really stunning. The RS6-R rolls a set of 22” ABT DR alloy wheels fitted with ultra-low profile performance tires. The stance is further improved by an ABT height adjustable spring kit.

The interior features new letterings and embroidery as well as carbon-shift paddels and LED-shifting lights on the steering wheel.

The 4.0 liter TFSI bi-turbo V8 is boosted to whopping 730HP (537 kW) and 920Nm (681 lb-ft) of torque. This is an increase of 170HP and 220Nm. 0-100 km/h in around 3.0 seconds and a top speed of over 320 km/h (199 mph).

“Mind you, the R stands for racy, not for rough or rude,” says CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt

“As with the normal Audi RS6, ours also provides the utmost comfort, sumptuousness and usefulness, limited to 25 cars worldwide.“, he added.

Jon Olsson Reveals His Audi RS6 Avant

The professional freeskier and alpine ski racer Jon Olsson has just revealed his new car. And he states in his blog that this is the best vehicle he has driven so far. We are not surprised since it is the 2014 Audi RS6 Avant that was introduced to the general public more than a year ago.

In fact, this Audi model has shown some incredible figures. To be more precise, the car needs only 3.9 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, thanks to its brand new ultra-efficient downsized twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 TFSI powertrain.

Again, the unit is responsible for the 560 hp (412 kW), which is reached between 5,700 and 6,700 rpm, and the 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque available between 1,750 and 5,500 rpm. At the same time this small unit returns 28.8 mpg. The engine is coupled with an eight-speed tiptronic transmission that features shortened shift times and offering ‘Sport’ and ‘Manual’ modes next to the standard ‘Drive’ setting.

2014 Audi RS6 Avant is in fact vehicle for the winter of the Swedish professional freeskier. In fact, the car is currently rolling around Europe, so if you see it, then you should now it’s him. And we assure you that there is no chance of making a mistake, because this Audi has stunning exterior design which is wrapped in white, black and gray camouflage.

What has been done additionally on this RS6, is due to the work of Stertman Motorsport that has featured Milltek exhaust and dumped suspension by H&R. More elements were probably included at a later time, but they haven’t been announced.

The top speed of the production model is 155mph, but we are not sure whether Jon has increased it via the optional Dynamic package or Dynamic plus package to 174 mph and 189 mph, respectively.
