The current-gen Audi RS6 has been around since 2020 but it remains one of the coolest wagons in the market and a clever alternative to hot SUVs. ABT Sportsline, known for offering comprehensive tuning packages for the RS6, presented a new limited production model called Legacy Edition (LE), further increasing the appeal of the model for both European and North American buyers.
Visually, the RS6-LE is distinguished by the aerodynamic add-ons in exposed carbon fiber, the 22-inch forged wheels finished in glossy black, and the quad stainless steel tailpipes measuring 102 mm (4 inches) each. The aero kit includes the carbon hood insert, bumper intake garnish, front splitter with integrated fins, front fender add-ons, mirror caps, side skirts, rear bumper extension, and a larger roof spoiler.

The interior has been re-upholstered with Dinamica flame-retardant fabric and Alcantara, featuring red stitching, white ABT emblems, and red RS6-LE lettering on the seats and floor mats. Finally, the “1-of-200” door sills complete the special touches.
Perhaps more importantly, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine got a set of upgraded turbochargers, a new intercooler, ECU remapping, and optimized cooling. As a result, it produces 750 hp (559 kW / 760 PS) and 980 Nm (723 lb-ft) of torque in the EU-spec guise, with the specs for the North American model set to follow in the near future. This places the RS6-LE between ABT’s RS6-R (740 hp) and Johann Abt Signature Edition (790 hp). In any case, those numbers represent a significant improvement over the 591 hp (441 kW / 600 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of the stock Audi RS6. Other modifications under the skin include the lowered suspension with ABT coilover springs and sports stabilizers and the new stainless steel exhaust.
With an availability of 200 units, the RS6-LE is not as limited as the 125 units of the RS6-R or the 64 units of the Johann Abt Signature Edition. Still, the pricing is quite steep, as no less than €102,600 ($112,852) is needed for the modifications plus an extra €11,462 ($12,600) for installation, on top of the cost of the donor car.
