THE DRIVE - DISCOVER THE NEW AUDI AVANTI RS6 ALTER EGO WORDS LAU CHAK ONN PHOTOGRAPHS AUDI UNITED KINGDOM FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE POWER WITHOUT THE ATTENTION, THE NEW AUDI AVANTI RS6 IS YOUR SUPERCAR IN CLARK KENT GUISE. 74 TA | SEPT/OCT 2013
Not every man wants to be Tony Stark. Sure, most of us revel and respect the intelligence, power, and wealth, but when you really think about it, a real man does not need the attention of pulling up in an Audi R8 at a nightclub in a fancy tux. For those who opt for a classic black suit instead of the latest chicbling design, who would rather sport a good old-fashioned set of aviators over cyber-Oakleys, and keep a clean shaven mug over an impossibly high-maintenance razor-shaped goatee – for us, there is the Audi RS6 Avant. Launched at a recent event in London by the immaculate Gwyneth Paltrow, the Audi RS6 Avant is unique in its offering of true supercar performance in the guise of a family-friendly estate car. A true wolf in sheep’s clothing, this twotonne car offers only a few subtle hints to its racing pedigree. Its front grill is slightly larger than a standard A6 Avant, and it comes with 20-inch forged alloy rims. Even at the back, the car has the standard two-exhausts, appropriately blowing no more hot air than its more reasonable counterpart. In fact, just about the only real hint to the casual observer is the actual RS6 badge, which stands for RennSport – literally translated as ‘racing sport’, a mark of Audi’s top of the range performance spec in each of its classes. As someone once said though, it is the quiet ones you have to watch out for. Because make no mistake, the subtle man is a man nonetheless, and it is ingrained deep within our lizard brains to go as fast as we possibly can. The Audi RS6 Avant is less a sports sedan and more akin to the world’s subtlest supercar. Underneath its non-descript hood is a twin-turbo V8 engine that shares most of its parts with the same power-plant in the Audi R8 and the Lamborghini Gallardo. This beast uses the full width of its 555 bhp and 700 Nm of torque to propel it from a standstill all the way to 100 km/h in a blistering 3.9 seconds, the same sort of performance you get out of a Ferrari California which, incidentally, costs more than twice as much. The car can keep going up to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h, or 305 km/h if you remove the limiter. ➢ From top to bottom — The 4-litre V8 TFSI engine features Le Mans-winning fuel-injection technology, which enhances fuel effi ciency, power and torque; An 8-speed tiptronic transmission with DSP (Dynamic Shift Programme); Open the power-operated boot lid by pressing the button on the radiooperated remote control key, the button in the driver’s door panel or the soft-touch button in the tailgate handle recess SEPT/OCT 2013 | TA 75
