2008 Audi RS6 Avant

Audi has released another round of images of its RS6 Avant, which debuted at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. The RS6 use a twin-turbocharged direct injection version of the S6's 5.2 liter V10. In RS6 guise, the engine produces 580 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, capable of launching the Avant–which can hold 58.6 cubic feet of cargo–from 0-62 in 4.6. 0-124 mph in the Avant takes just 14.9 seconds, on the way to the car's electronically limited top speed of 155. Both the RS6 sedan and avant will be available with optional ceramic disc brakes.

Audi will also offer both models with standard quattro permanent Four wheel drive and a six-speed tiptronic gearbox. RS6 models are set to go on sale in Europe in April 2008 with no plans to bring either model to the U.S.
