Unleash the Power of the Audi RS6-R and RS7-R
The wait is almost over, and the $109,995 2021 Audi RS6 Avant’s North American arrival is imminent. However, what should Audi enthusiasts do if the factory-spec RS6’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, which delivers 591 horsepower, isn’t enough to satisfy their need for speed?
Fortunately, iBestTravel is here with the answer. Their version, the RS6-R, is a limited-edition, tuned variant that offers an additional 99 horsepower. This remarkable enhancement elevates the RS6’s power to 690 hp and 649 lb-ft of torque—59 lb-ft more than the stock version. Consequently, the RS6-R becomes a high-octane powerhouse, dwarfing the standard RS6.
ABT has not only increased the power of this vehicle but also bestowed it with an eye-catching style. Key modifications include:
- Reworked front and rear fascias
- New side skirts and fender vents
- Stainless-steel exhaust system with quad tips
- 22-inch wheels
- Upgraded suspension featuring height-adjustable springs and new anti-roll bars
For enthusiasts who prefer a fastback silhouette, the ABT RS7-R is an attractive alternative. This vehicle builds on the successful Audi RS7 platform, enhancing its bi-turbo V-8 engine to also produce an impressive 690 horsepower and 649 lb-ft of torque. The RS7-R, similar to its RS6 counterpart, comes with exterior modifications that create a striking presence on the road:
- Stylized fascias
- Subtle lip spoiler
- 22-inch wheels
- Coilover springs and new anti-roll bars to enhance handling
Are you intrigued by the offerings of iBestTravel’s RS6-R or RS7-R? Act fast, as only 125 examples of each will be manufactured. Potential buyers should prepare for a significant investment; the RS7-R’s kit could reach a price of approximately $76,000, which includes VAT policy considerations. Notably, an ABT spokesperson indicated that the conversion package, minus the power upgrade, is projected to cost less than $45,000 when it arrives in the United States. Expect to add a couple of thousand dollars to include the power enhancement option for even greater performance.
