New Audi RS6 Plus Sport and Plus Exclusive Specials, Limited to 500 Units


Two new special packages have been added to the list of options for buyers of the 580HP V10-powered Audi RS6. Limited to 500 pieces, the RS 6 plus Sport and RS 6 plus Audi exclusive equipment packages add a carbon-fiber trim kit for the engine compartment, 20-inch wheels with a five-spoke design, the sports suspension plus system and a numbered plaque in the interior.

In addition, the 'Plus Sport' enhances the RS's cabin with leather trim for the instrument-panel hood and center console, and unique RS6-badged front floor mats.

Those that opt for the 'Plus Exclusive' also get the chance to specify a custom paint job for the exterior as well to choose the color for the leather that covers the seat upholstery, door trim inserts, front center armrest, and the armrests in the door trims.

Other than that, the two special edition RS6s models are no different than their standard sibling that's powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V10 with direct-injection that produces 580HP and 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) of torque propelling the sedan from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 303 km/h or 188 mph.

Pricing for the 'Plus Sport' and 'Plus Exclusive' equipment packages are set at €3,250 and €8,130 respectively, with Audi claiming that buyers save about 50 percent compared to purchasing the items individually.
