Audi RS 6 Avant (until 2025)
25 years of RS, 25 years of high-performance station wagons from Audi: With the new Audi RS 6 Audi Sport is ushering in a new chapter in the history of the high-performance Avant. Even more power combined with increased efficiency thanks to mild hybrid system turn the RS 6 Avant into the perfect companion for any purpose.
Nine variants of the Audi 100 and eight of the Audi A6 are on display in Neckarsulm, with the exhibition rounded off by an Audi RS 6 Avant GT) from 2024. According to curator Stefan Felber, each of the 17 vehicles is distinguished by a special characteristic. In addition to the “first one,” which founded the ancestry line, visitors will also get to know a “globetrotter,” “a feat of spaciousness,” a “long one,” a “sloping one,” a “connected one,” and the “supreme one” – the latter is the Audi RS 6 Avant GT, which concludes the almost 60-year model series history on display. But, as we know, the model series’ success story will soon be continued with its ninth generation – the new Audi A6 Avant will be revealed to the world on March 4 at 2 p.m. Audi Forum Neckarsulm Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., free admission; guided tours of the exhibition available.

The models offered range from the compact Audi RS 3 with its legendary five-cylinder turbo engine to the RS 6 Avant, RS 7 and RS Q8, each with a twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder engine, or the fully electric sporty flagship of the brand with the four rings: the RS e-tron GT performance. Audi Sport delivered more than 41,000 high-performance vehicles worldwide in 2024, a decline of around 14 percent. In the United States, Audi Sport models achieved their best-ever sales result with over 9,000 deliveries (+4 percent). Production – Craftsmanship meets smart factory Around 1,200 employees are part of the Audi Sport GmbH family, which has been registered as a high-performance vehicle manufacturer since 1996.
Like its big RS brothers the RS 6 Avant* and the RS 7 Sportback*, the RS 4 Avant also features the RS-typical, three-dimensional honeycomb structure in glossy black. The frameless Singleframe creates a sporty look that is stripped down to the essentials. The honeycomb grille with an RS 4 badge is installed directly in the bumper with the large side air intakes and vertical flaps. The optional matrix LED headlights with darkened bezels complete the face of the high-performance Avant and differentiate it within the A4 family. Compared to the Audi A4 Avant*, the wheel arches with the quattro blisters above are 30 mm (1.2 in.) wider on both sides in the front and rear. Glossy black design elements that sit right next to the headlights emphasize the wide stance of the RS 4 Avant. The glossy black, matte aluminum, and carbon and matte carbon optics packages (exclusive for competition packages and style package bronze Audi exclusive) add individual accents to the inlay in the rocker panel, the exterior mirror housings, and the front and rear bumper. For the glossy black and carbon optics packages, the Audi rings and RS lettering on the front and rear are also available in black on request.
