Audi reveals performance trims for RS 6 Avant, RS 7 Sportback

Audi just revealed two new performance cars that offer more power and lighter components to make them go faster. They are the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance.

On paper, the vehicles make 29 horsepower (hp) more than their non-performance counterparts thanks to larger turbochargers and an increase in boost pressure. This lets the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance zoom from zero to 100 kilometers per hour (kph) in just 3.4 seconds.

The RS Dynamic Package is also standard in the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 performance models. This boosts the speed of the two cars to 280kph.

The package also adds dynamic all-wheel steering (the RS-specific software update helps the driver with active steering corrections on the front and rear axles) and the quattro sport differential on the rear axle.

Audi added that the RS Dynamics Package plus is also available as an optional add-on. Selecting this package boosts the speed to 305kph and gives the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance a ceramic brake system for improved stopping power.

Lightened components of the vehicle are namely the insulation between the engine compartment, the interior, and the rear of the vehicle. The update done on these parts made the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance eight kilograms (kg) lighter than their non-performance stablemates.

Per Audi, the Audi RS 6 Avant performance and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance ride on exclusive and high-performance 22-inch wheels shod in high-performance tires.

Both performance models will be available starting December 8 and will be priced at €135,000 (P7.892 million) each.
