2008 Audi RS 6 Avant family (?) performance wagon

September 6th, 2007

It looks like the 2008 Audi RS6 Avant is an ideal family wagon. For The Incredibles.

Equipped with a mighty 580 hp V10 FSI engine, the RS6 takes only 4.6 seconds to break the 100km/h barrier and stops accelerating at 250km/h.

Audi RS 6 Avant’s twin-turbo is based on the new V10 engine with the dry-sump lubrication system the luckiest of us have met on the new Audi S6 and S8 models.

Mated to a six-speed Tiptronic gearbox, the engine develops an impressive 650 Nm of torque available between 1,500 to 6,250 rpm so the vehicle completes its zero to 200 km/h in just 14.9 seconds.

To help the beast better control its enormous power, Audi’s engineers have provided the car with high-performance ceramic brakes on 420mm steel discs in the front and 356mm in the rear. They are hidden inside the standard 19-inch wheels with the new 10-spoke design with size 255/40 R 19 tires.

There are also optional 20-inch wheels fitted with 275/35 R 20 tires.
