About this generation

Moving exclusively to the Avant body, the third-generation Audi RS6 featured a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing up to 605 hp in Performance trim.

Arriving in 2013, the Audi RS6 C7 generation downsized to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine featuring Cylinder on Demand technology. Despite having lower displacement than its V10 predecessor, the lighter and more responsive V8 generated 560 hp and 700 Nm of torque, with the 2015 RS6 Performance variant reaching 605 hp. Coupled with an eight-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission and crown-gear quattro AWD, 0-100 km/h sprints dropped to a supercar-rivalling 3.7 seconds.

Offered solely as an Avant wagon, the C7 featured a dramatically sculpted widebody design with flared arches and aggressive aero detailing. Standard adaptive air suspension provided refined cruising comfort, while optional Dynamic Ride Control offered track-focused composure. The C7 RS6 Avant solidified its reputation as the ultimate single-car garage solution, combining immense cargo space with devastating real-world performance.
