Audi has long led the charge in blending performance with practicality, and the latest RS6 Avant GT takes this legacy to new heights. Released as a special edition before Audi fully embraces electrification in future models, the RS6 Avant GT represents the pinnacle of the beloved estate’s evolution. With only 660 units available globally and only a handful allocated for the UK market, this limited edition is set to be a collector’s dream. Priced at £135,000 before on-road costs, the RS6 Avant GT encapsulates Audi’s commitment to top-tier performance, striking design, and exclusivity.

The Audi RS6 Avant GT distinguishes itself with a number of visual and performance enhancements that set it apart from the standard RS6 Avant. Externally, the limited edition GT model retains the RS6’s iconic silhouette but with motorsport-inspired upgrades. These include a sleek gloss black grille, carbon fibre front fenders, and a redesigned bonnet, all of which enhance the vehicle’s aggressive and sporty aesthetic. The use of carbon fibre isn’t just for show; it contributes to reducing weight and improving the car’s handling capabilities.

At the rear, the car features bold "RS6 GT" badging, a functional rear diffuser, and a redesigned tailgate, all engineered to optimise aerodynamics. The removal of the roof rails further enhances the vehicle’s streamlined look, sacrificing a bit of practicality for a sleeker design. A standout feature is the set of 22-inch white carbon-fibre wheels, inspired by Audi’s legendary 90 Quattro IMSA GTO race car from the late 1980s (featured in the pictures). These wheels, combined with the car’s striking livery, pay homage to Audi’s rich racing heritage.

If the white livery feels a bit too bold, Audi offers more understated colour options in black and grey, with customisable decals to match your style. Inside the cabin, the exclusivity continues with the “RS6 GT” logo proudly displayed on the seats, door sills, and carpets, reminding drivers of the unique nature of this vehicle every time they step inside.

Under the bonnet, the Audi RS6 Avant GT is powered by the same ferocious twin-turbocharged 4.0- litre V8 engine found in the RS6 Performance model. Delivering a staggering 621 bhp and 850 Nm of torque, this powerhouse engine, coupled with Audi’s renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system, allows the RS6 Avant GT to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. For those seeking even more thrills, some suggest that with ideal conditions, the car could achieve even faster acceleration. Topping out at 189 mph, the RS6 Avant GT is one of the fastest estate cars ever made, boasting supercar-level speed while offering the everyday practicality of a family vehicle.

In addition to raw power, the RS6 Avant GT features finely tuned suspension with three-way adjustable coil over dampers, allowing drivers to tailor the car’s handling to their preferences. Whether navigating winding country roads or cruising on the motorway, the RS6 Avant GT provides exceptional grip, control, and composure, making it as comfortable on a racetrack as it is on the school run.

What truly sets the Audi RS6 Avant GT apart is its extreme rarity. With just 660 units being produced worldwide, this limited edition model is already sold out in many key markets, including the UK. Each car is hand-finished on its own dedicated production line, further elevating its status as a future classic. Every RS6 Avant GT is sequentially numbered, with its unique identification etched into the centre console, adding to the exclusivity and making each vehicle a true collector's item.

The Audi RS6 Avant GT is not just another luxury performance car; it’s a celebration of everything that makes the RS6 series iconic. With its limited availability, bold design features, and astonishing performance capabilities, this special edition model offers a rare opportunity for Audi enthusiasts to own a piece of history. For the lucky few in the UK who managed to secure one, the RS6 Avant GT isn’t just a car—it’s an exhilarating statement of speed, style, and exclusivity.
