[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Audi announced on the 28th that it will begin sales of 'The new Audi RS 6 Avant,' which combines outstanding driving performance with the practicality of a wagon in its ultra-high-performance RS model, and 'The new Audi RS 7,' the top model in the RS lineup, starting from the 2nd of next month.

The Audi RS (Renn Sport, Racing Sport) models boast performance close to that of race cars and represent Audi's challenge to technical limits as its ultra-high-performance model line.

The ‘Audi RS 6 Avant’ is the top model in the A6 lineup. Developed based on the A6 Avant, the ‘Audi RS 6 Avant’ maximizes differentiation from the base model by adding excellent driving performance, the spacious cargo space and practicality unique to the wagon design, and RS signature design elements.

This vehicle is equipped with a 4.0L V8 gasoline direct injection turbocharger (TFSI) engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, delivering a powerful output of 600 horsepower and a maximum torque of 81.58 kg.m.

The top speed is 305 km/h (safety limited), and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a supercar-level 3.6 seconds, with a combined fuel efficiency of 7.0 km/l. (City fuel efficiency: 6.1 km/l, highway fuel efficiency: 8.6 km/l)

The RS sports suspension plus, which includes Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) that creates a more distinct difference between the permanent all-wheel-drive quattro system and the Audi Drive Select system’s drive modes, significantly enhances both agile and sporty driving performance and comfort.

‘The new Audi RS 6 Avant’ harmoniously combines the sleek rear line and elegant design of the A6 Avant wagon with RS signature design. The vehicle expresses the unique character of the ‘Audi RS 6 Avant’ through black package elements applied to the front grille and RS 6 badges on the rear, Audi rings, newly designed front and rear bumpers with large air intakes, oval rear diffuser, roof rails, and window moldings.

The New Audi RS 7

The ‘The new Audi RS 7,’ released simultaneously, is the top model in the RS lineup and well represents Audi’s interpretation of a 5-door ultra-high-performance coupe.

‘The new Audi RS 7’ is equipped with a 4.0L V8 gasoline direct injection turbocharger (TFSI) engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, delivering a powerful driving performance with a maximum output of 600 horsepower and maximum torque of 81.58 kg.m.

The combination of permanent all-wheel-drive quattro and RS sports suspension plus, including Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), boasts Audi’s distinctive sporty driving performance and excellent safety.

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h (safety limited), and a combined fuel efficiency of 7.4 km/l. (City fuel efficiency: 6.2 km/l, highway fuel efficiency: 9.5 km/l)

‘The new Audi RS 7’ emphasizes Audi’s sporty atmosphere through its low height and emphasized wheel arches. The hood, roofline, front doors, and tailgate share the coupe line of the ‘Audi A7,’ while the muscular side profile with sharp lines embodies the design of a grand tourer.

‘The new Audi RS 7’ is also equipped with high-level safety and convenience systems. These include a ‘front and rear parking assist system’ that uses ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance between the vehicle and objects on the driving path for easier parking, a surround view display, and ‘adaptive cruise assist’ which includes ‘active lane assist’ and ‘adaptive cruise control (ACC).’
