Audi has announced the pricing and
range details of its new RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback for the UK market, just in
time for the holiday season. Out of the two, the RS6 Avant is the cheaper one,
starting from £ 92,700 in its base version; Audi is offering three more trim
levels to choose from for your new super-fast wagon: RS6 Carbon Black, RS6
Vorsprung and RS6 Launch Edition. Audi UK is also offering the new RS7
Sportback in the same trim levels, starting from £ 97,050.
Both models are powered by a
mild-hybrid twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 TFSI engine with 592 HP and 800 Nm of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The
beefed up Quattro all-wheel drive system now features torque vectoring and a
Torsen differential.
Other tricks to make the dynamic Audi
duo corner faster than ever include an all-wheel steering system, an optional
RS sport suspension with diagonally-linked adaptive dampers in addition to the
standard RS-specific air suspension.
Base models come with 21-inch alloy
wheels, MatriX LED headlights, privacy glass, heated and ventilated RS sport
seats dressed in Valcona leather, model-specific displays for the instrument
cluster and infotainment system and more.
Opt for the Carbon Black models and
you’ll get 22-inch black alloys, a carbon styling package inside and outside,
along with the RS design package that adds grey Fine Nappa leather or grey
Alcantara in areas such as the center console and door armrests.
Top-of-the-line Vorsprung models come
with a panoramic glass sunroof, power door closure, Bang & Olufsen 3D audio
and front and rear seat heating. Their specification also includes an adaptable
head-up display and virtually every driver assistance system Audi has to offer
via the Tour and City Assist packs.
The special Launch Edition models of
the new RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback will be offered for a limited period of
time that combines specific features from across the range. These include red
brake calipers, a set of 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels, the sunroof, the
Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, sport exhaust and a de-restrictred top
speed of 280 km/h.
Prospective customers of the new 2020
Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback in the UK are also offered the choice between
five matt-effect paint options, ceramic brakes and more.
