The twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder engine in a V-layout has an output of 463 kW (630 PS) and delivers 850 Nm of torque from 2,300 to 4,500 rpm. Delivery of the Audi RS 6 Avant GT will begin in the second quarter 2024, the price starts at 219,585 euro.
The idea of the Audi RS 6 Avant GT goes back to the apprentice project RS 6 GTO concept from 2020. Twelve apprentices learning to work as bodywork and vehicle construction mechanics, automotive mechanics, automotive painters, and tooling mechanics worked on the project for six months with the support of Audi Design. They took most of their inspiration from the legendary Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO race car from 1989. The result shows the range of ways in which young talents can contribute to the company even during their apprenticeship.
It distributes its four liters of displacement to eight cylinders in a V-assembly and comes equipped with cylinder on demand technology. The 3.0 TFSI powers the Audi A8 55 TFSI quattro and the A8 L 55 TFSI quattro with 250 kW (340 PS). A variant with 210 kW (286 PS) is available in China. From 1,370 to 4,500 rpm, it pumps 500 Nm of torque into the crankshaft. From a standing start, it reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 seconds (L model: 5.7 seconds). In the version for the A8 models, the 4.0 TFSI generates 338 kW (460 PS) and 660 Nm of torque, which are available between 1,850 and 4,500 1/min. These create very sporty performance: The A8 60 TFSI quattro and the A8 L 60 TFSI quattro both sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds. One highlight of the V8 is the cylinder on demand system (COD), which temporarily deactivates four cylinders for moderate driving.

The Audi valvelift system (AVS) varies the stroke of the outlet valves. That way, it reduces flushing losses in the combustion chamber and facilitates an optimal flow of exhaust gas to the turbocharger, particularly in the lower rev range. The results are dynamic responsiveness and increased torque. Complex measures reduce internal friction while increasing power output. The cylinder liners are plasma-coated; the crankshaft main bearings are six millimeters (0.2 in) smaller in diameter. The crankshaft is hollow bored and is therefore one kilogram (2.2 lbs) lighter, while the aluminum pistons have integrated channels for oil cooling. More torque, more pulling power in the new Audi RS 3 The history of the five-cylinder continues in the new Audi RS 3 Sedan and the new RS 3 Sportback. Here again, the five cylinders bring a sense of pleasure and even more driving enjoyment.
Seth Lucas finished third out of seven participants in the SGT class in the car entered by the Ave Motorsports team at Mid-Ohio. Audi Sport Seyffarth R8 LMS Cup Battling with the champions: At the season opener of the fourth Audi Sport Seyffarth R8 LMS Cup at Oschersleben, two former Cup winners and another talent were the best drivers. Last year’s champion Tim Reiter overtook Robin Rogalski, the 2019 title winner who started from pole position, in the very beginning of the first race. Tom Spitzenberger also passed Rogalski on the first lap. An entertaining duel unfolded between the two. Rogalski passed his opponent with a contact on lap three, but Spitzenberger striked back on lap nine and passed the man in front of him again. So the final result was Reiter ahead of Spitzenberger and Rogalski. In the second race, the same trio was fastest, but in a different order. Tom Spitzenberger celebrated his first race win, having already secured a lead of 0.957 seconds in qualifying. Over the sprint distance of 30 minutes, he controlled the race and built up a lead of 6.6 seconds. Robin Rogalski finished second ahead of Tim Reiter. Spitzenberger now has a four-point lead over Reiter and Rogalski after the first of five events.

The Audi valvelift system (AVS) switches the stroke of the outlet valves between two levels as needed, thereby optimizing the charge cycle in the lower engine speed range in particular: The improved flow of exhaust gas to the turbocharger results in an agile response and powerful torque build-up. Sophisticated thermal management controls the coolant flow, and the exhaust manifold integrated in the cylinder head helps the engine to warm up quickly, which allows exhaust gas aftertreatment to be activated early on. Needless to say, the Audi SQ2 complies with the limits of the new Euro 6 AP emission standard. Driving pleasure and driving safety: the seven-speed S tronic and quattro drive The seven-speed S tronic is standard in the Q2 top model**. Its lower gears feature short, sporty ratios while the seventh gear is long to reduce fuel consumption. Drivers can operate the lightning-fast dual-clutch transmission in modes D or S, or shift themselves. If the Audi drive select system is in “efficiency” mode, the clutch disengages when coasting, allowing the compact sport SUV to freewheel. The quattro all-wheel drive provides the updated Audi SQ2 with the crucial amount of additional dynamism and stability. Its electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch distributes the torque smoothly between the axles. Should the front wheels lose traction, the clutch redirects it completely to the rear within a few milliseconds. The SQ2 is fitted with the latest generation of the multi-place clutch, which features many improvements, for example to the bearings and oil supply, that increase its efficiency. The pump is powered by a low-wear, brushless electric motor. The entire clutch is just under one kilogram (2.2 lb) lighter than the part in the predecessor model. This is due in part to the fact that the control unit is integrated in the clutch housing.
