Audi South Africa announced that the single Audi RS 6 Avant GT destined for our market will be sold at an exclusive auction in November. With only 660 units produced worldwide, Audi SA is privileged to have secured unit 74 for the local market when some countries won’t receive this one-of-a-kind vehicle at all. This rare masterpiece will be sold through a live auction event, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting a worthy charity.

Exterior

Distinguishing itself from the RS 6 Avant performance, the RS 6 Avant GT features a front end finished entirely in high-gloss black, featuring vertical blades, pass-through roof edge spoiler, a new intake grille, 22-inch wheels in a distinctive design, and a powerful front splitter, contributing to its enhanced look. The RS 6 GT introduces a fully redesigned carbon fiber bonnet, fenders, and side skirts. Colour options for the RS 6 Avant GT include Arkona White, Nardo Gray, Chronos Gray Metallic, Madeira Brown Metallic, and Mythos Black Metallic.

Decal Options

Customers have the option to choose exclusive decals in two colour combinations, adding a personalized touch to their RS 6 Avant GT. These choices include traditional Audi Sport colours – black, grey, and red – or black and grey tones, complementing the exterior finishes.

RS Interior

The super estate is equipped with the standard RS design package plus, features a black interior adorned with exclusive red and copper accents. These accents, found on the steering wheel, center console, armrests, and floor mats, including “RS 6 GT” lettering, create a distinctive look. The leather-Dinamica RS bucket seats continue this color scheme with honeycomb stitching in Express red at the seat center and copper on the outer seam, complemented by “RS 6 GT” lettering below the headrests.

Performance

The RS 6 Avant GT boasts a power-packed 4.0 TFSI V8 engine generating 463kW and 850Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds, accelerates to 200km/h from a standstill in just 11.5 seconds and the top speed is 305km/h. To elevate the driving experience, Audi has introduced adjustable coil-over suspension as standard for the RS 6 Avant GT, along with a specially tuned quattro sport differential on the rear axle. It makes contact to the road with high-performance Continental “Sport Contact 7” tyres for superior grip. As standard, the RS 6 Avant GT features the RS ceramic brake system.
