03/07/2008 05:48. The new Audi RS6 has hit New Zealand and what a car it promises to be. Stay tuned to Car and SUV for our verdict when we test the RS6 soon.

A newly developed V10 biturbo petrol engine with FSI direct injection plus quattro permanent all-wheel drive puts the new RS 6 Avant out in front of the competition.

Its 426 kW and torque of 650 Nm create an unparalleled experience of power and dynamism.

The biturbo V10 accelerates the Audi RS 6 from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and then on to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h, which can optionally be increased to 280 km/h. Its maximum torque is an awesome 650 Nm, available from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm, while maximum power output is produced between 6,250 rpm and the engine’s top speed of 6,700 rpm.
