The new Audi RS 6 Avant and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance models are stronger and faster than any previous RS 6 and RS 7 models. The powerful 4.0-liter V8-TFSI Biturbo engine now has 630 hp (30 more) and 850 Nm (50 more) of torque. This means it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds (minus 0.2). At the same time, the models are full of improved technology, extra features, and thoughtful design. From December, you can order the RS 6 Avant performance and the RS 7 Sportback performance.
"Performance" at Audi means "better performance" above all else. So, bigger turbochargers and an increase in charge pressure from 2.4 to 2.6 bars in the 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine in the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance add 30 hp and 50 Nm over the base versions. So, the performance goes from 600 horsepower to 630 horsepower, and the maximum torque goes from 800 Nm to 850 Nm. The performance models can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the RS 6 and RS 7 base models.
The power from the 4.0-liter TFSI engine is sent to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive through an 8-speed tiptronic gearbox with faster shift times. This is standard equipment. The power is split between the front and back axles in a ratio of 40:60 by a center differential that works only mechanically. More power is automatically sent to the axle with the best grip if a wheel spins. Up to 85% of the power can be sent to the front axle and 70% to the back axle. The improved automatic center differential is smaller and lighter. It makes the car easier to drive, gives it much more precise handling in corners, and cuts down on understeering in a limited area. In addition, the steering becomes even more accurate. It generally provides a more agile drive.
