ABT Sportsline held an event in Mallorca, Spain last week where journalists and other guests were able to try out some of its products. A social media push of incredible photography ensued, including these shots of an RS 6 Avant built to their Legacy Edition spec.

There's tasteful and then there's Goodwood Green (a.k.a. really tasteful). It's hard not to love Audi's take on the iconic British Racing Green theme that's a little darker and a little more gray. This green hue dropped in the early 2000s on cars like the Mk1 TT, RS 4 B5 and RS 6 C5. It remains 20-something years later one of the more popular Audi exclusive colors, so when it pops up on a new RS 7 we sit up and take notice.

As most RS 6 enthusiasts can tell you, Audi of America built just 25 RS Tribute edition RS 6 Avants back in 2021, then promptly locked out its iconic Nogaro Blue paint from future RS 6 production. That lockout stood until MY 2024 when the color was reopened, though the rareness of Audi exclusive production slots has kept many further cars from being produced at this time. It’s rare that these cars come on the market, but we w...

Audi definitely got our attention with the RS 6 Avant GT revealed earlier today. As with any new launch though, the key is in the details... especially the details of how the car arrives when it comes to the North American Region market. Fortunately, we were able to attend the press presentation and were able to glean a few details... specifically how the RS 6 GT comes to market.

If you’re a Hot Wheels nerd like us, you probably can already point out that all RS 6 Hot Wheels thus far haven’t been current generation. So, while it’s not an Avant, it’s noteworthy for collectors that Hot Wheels is readying a C8 in the form of a 2021 RS 7 as part of their Elite 64 series.

The RS 7 is undoubtedly one of Audi’s most extravagant vehicles. The comparatively small production number has made it predestined for individualists and fans of a particularly sporty appearance. The RS7 Legacy Edition, limited to 200 units worldwide, is even more powerful and characteristic. The very first ABT RS7-LE in North America was just finished by ABT partner Masterpiece Auto in Mi...

In the Audi lineup, the C8 A6 allroad is an unsung hero. Crossovers tend to get all the volume, but the A6 allroad takes up a special place. Its presence allowed the RS 6 to be federalized, and it's a substantive long roof in its own right, with turbocharged V6 and adjustable air suspension. And at about half the price of the RS 6, it's a veritable bargain. So is it an RS 6-light then? Well, in some specs that's a reach but in the spec o...

You may or may not know this but the 1st generation Spyker C8s are powered bu Audi's 4.2L V8. It's not the high-revving one found in the RS 4 but rather the V8 found in the B6/7 S4. Spyker itself says that a Spyker isn't your 1sr supercar; it's your eighth. The original Spyker not only manufactured cars but also fighter aircrafts. You can see this history in their logo and also in some design features. He...
