ABT Revisits Audi’s RS6 Avant, Gives It Sonorous Exhaust, New Suspension And Wheels

ABT Sportsline has launched new aftermarket parts for the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant, following the massive power upgrade presented earlier this year.

Promising to exhilarate drivers and bystanders by delivering a deeper tone, the exhaust system features four tailpipes that can be had in carbon fiber, and two electrically adjustable flaps. The suspension of the German super executive estate can be enhanced with height adjustable springs or, for those who want that extra bit of customization, a fully adjustable suspension.

With the latter installed, the front and rear ends can be lowered from 0.4-1.4 in (10-35 mm) and 0.4-1.6 in (10-40 mm), respectively. Furthermore, the tuner says that rebound and pressure can be adjusted separately and, for an extra buck, sport anti-roll bars can be ordered too.

Finally, the stance of the RS6 Avant has been improved by fitting 22-inch HR22 wheels wrapped in Michelin rubber. Many other rims, in different sizes, finishes and patterns, are also available for the car.

Now, all these new parts come to complete the package that includes an impressive power upgrade for the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which has been tuned to deliver 730 HP (740 PS / 544 kW) and 679 lb-ft (920 Nm) of torque courtesy of a new intercooler, turbochargers and software remap.

The stock RS6 Avant’s eight-banger produces 592 HP (600 PS / 441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), allowing it to accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.6 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The tuned variant does the benchmark sprint in 3.2 seconds, shaving 0.4 seconds off the stock RS6’s time.
