Audi’s RS6, still the world’s most powerful übersedan, is now privy to a limited edition package. Is that really necessary? Of course it is.
Although mechanically nothing much has changed (power still spews forth courtesy of a 5l 426kW V10), the limited edition Sport and Exclusive trim packages (Plus Sport and Plus Exclusive if you wish to be pedantic) add all those pseudo-performance styling trinkets and trim so dear to petrolheads.
Both the new limited edition trim packages add carbon-fibre bits to the engine bay, five-blade 20-inch alloys and upgraded suspension.
Considering the RS6's only real dynamic foible is the car's 2t mass footprint, focused owners should be heartened by the presence of carbon-fibre in the engine bay, which should trim down the RS6's weight problem by a few kilograms. Makes the entire limited edition exercise entirely justifiable, now doesn’t it?
Inside, the RS6 Sport’s instrument binnacle hood and centre-console get leather surfacing.
Audi’s exterior paint and interior leather trim colour options are very generous too – which means, perhaps, we could see some yellow ones tooling around soon. Nice.
The RS6 Sport and Exclusive packages will be limited to only 500 units, each numbered. Expect numbers one and six to become collectors items in the fullness of time.
Obviously they’re all derestricted models too, leaving the 303km/h top speed claim open for your ill-judged exploration.
