The V10 Biturbo RS 6 Quattro upgrades to ten cylinders, two turbochargers and 580PS. It will be available first in Avant estate form with the saloon to follow in mid-2008.
The V10 engine is boosted by two turbo chargers, streamlined by FSI direct petrol injection and linked to six-speed tiptronic automatic transmission with speed limited to 155mph.
Power passes through the quattro four-wheel-drive system with standard 40:60 front-to-rear torque split.
The new biturbo, ten-cylinder super Avant – the eagerly awaited successor to the revered original RS 6 quattro of 2002 – will open for UK ordering from November for an OTR price expected to be in the region of GBP75,000. First deliveries will follow in spring 2008, and later that year a saloon variant will also become available.
