With A 0-60 Of Just 3.7 Seconds, Will The Audi RS6 Or RS7 Ever Need More Than 600 HP?

Audi’s Quattro performance car division has turned the wick up on its RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback models, providing the rapid estate and four-door coupe with an added 45bhp and 37lb ft in a pair of so-called Performance models that will go on sale in the UK in November.

The lift in reserves - achieved through changes to the engine management system that provide a higher ignition cut-out, along with added turbocharger boost pressure - extends the output of the four-wheel-drive RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine to 597bhp and 553lb ft – the same state of tune run by the recently unveiled Audi S8 Plus.
