A Mild Hybrid Rocket of a Wagon<\/h2>\n

The Audi<\/a> RS 6 Avant is a powerful wagon with a mild-hybrid powertrain. The vehicle utilizes a 48-volt hybrid system. That system restarts the engine and helps manage electrical power. At the heard of the car is the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that puts out a whopping 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.<\/strong> This is the first RS wagon to come to America, and Audi wants to make it count. <\/p>\n

The car comes with dramatically different sheet metal shapes than the regular A6 model.<\/strong> According to Road & Track<\/a>, the car only shares its front doors, roof, and tailgate with the regular version of the car. Everything else has been tweaked to make the RS 6 more enticing. The car is 1.6-inches wider, giving the car a more capable, muscular look. It has 22-inch wheels and dark accents. The thing looks sleek and dangerous. Enough so that even AMG owners will be gawking. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The numbers are impressive, too. The burly turbo V8 lets the car sprint from 0-62 mph in just 3.6 seconds.<\/strong> The car tops out at 155 mph<\/strong>. Road and Track noted that the car can actually do 189.5 mph when properly specced (the U.S. car is electronically limited to 155 mph). <\/p>\n

The car uses a 40:60 front-to-rear torque split for its all-wheel drive and the car can shift power side to side as needed as well.<\/strong> Adaptive air suspension comes as standard equipment. The RS sport suspension with Dynamic Ride Control is available for those who want it. <\/p>\n

Audi will bring the car here in 2020<\/strong> and says it will take orders on the car closer to the date that it’s available. That date and the official price of the car will be announced at a later date. <\/p>\n
