Kempten-based VAG tuning specialist ABT Sportsline has released details of its delicious Audi RS 6 Avant program.

Propelled by a twin-turbocharged 4.0 TFSI V8 unit sending 412 kW (560 hp) and 700 Nm of torque to all four wheels via an eight-speed tiptronic transmission, ABT’s Power kit comprises its own controller unit, which works in conjunction with remapped ECU software and a replacement exhaust system. Once fitted, output is raised to 490 kW (666 hp) and a torque of 830 Nm.

If those figures don’t float your boat the Power S option turns the wick up to 515 kW (700 hp) (515 kW) and 880 Nm. On the road the 0-100 km/h is reduced from 3.9 seconds to 3.4, while modifications to the V-Max sees top speed go beyond the 320 km/h (200 mph) mark.

Other components on offer include carbon fibre mirror casings, a stainless steel silencer, a sport spring kit and a choice of alloy wheels including the lightweight ABT ER-C items pictured here available in 9.5 x 20 or 10 x 22-inches.
