... the DRC chassis (Dynamic Ride Control) originated in the first generation (C5) and is still used
|
6 requires modified tanks and longer tank piping? Refueling during the prototype drives in the
development phase always brings a smile due to the noise of the air kno
|
today in the current generation (C81) with the same functional principle?
|
... the wide construction of the RSwn as “tank mooing”. Thanks to further tank piping
optimization, this noise is naturally switched off in series production.
... the current C81 generation of the RS 6 only has three exterior carryover parts
from the basic model? Specifically, they are the roof, the two front doors, and the tailgate.
... the engine in the C6 generation of the RS 6 took up so much space in the front
that we moved the cooling water reservoir to an unusual position? The passenger
door had to be opened to check the coolant level, and the cooling water level read off
the bottom of the A-pillar.
... the exterior color “Sebring Black Crystal Effect” — exclusively offered for
the first time in the C81 generation — took its name from the racing premiere of
the RS 6 (C5) “Competition” (SCCA = Sportscar Club of America) on March 14, 2003,
in Sebring, Florida? To this day, all RS colors in the name refer to well-known
racetracks.
... any RS 6 generation can have a biturbo-charged engine?
... going back to the first generation, the RS 6 was the first and only RS model that
implemented the double-flow RS exhaust system with oval tailpipes that are today’s standard?
... all RS 6 generations have a quattro drive?
... the flat LED headlights of the C81 generation come from the Audi A7 of the same era?
Consequently, the RS 6 is visually very different from the other A6 models and the only
model within the A6 family that can be ordered with laser light.
... because of the large units and technologies like additional cooling, the auxiliary heater
planned at the start of the C6 and C7 generations had to be replaced? This special feature,
popular with customers, has only been available since the C81 generation due to better space.
It emphasizes the vehicle’s suitability for everyday use.
... the C81 generation is the first Audi model to feature completely black-painted alloy wheels
as standard equipment for the winter season?
... the car has been a member of the “high-speed club” of cars that can drive over
300 km/h (186 mph) since the RS 6 plus of the C6 generation?
... the aluminum matte look package is only available on RS models and has been
used since the first generation? Today, in addition to aluminum matte, there are optical
packages in black and carbon.
... the wide construction used since the C5 generation is unique in the competitive
environment? It offers space for larger wheel diameters, creates a muscular look,
and enables sportier handling.
... one of the most popular Audi exclusive interior colors, Cognac Brown,
was used in the limited-edition RS 6 plus (C5) model in 2004? Today, this color
is an option for the RS 6 as an homage to the first generation.
... the market launch of the first RS 6 took place at the Nürburgring? For the
maiden journey, 30 Audi dealers entered their demonstration cars as part of
24-hour race at the Nürburgring in front of 194,000 spectators.
... the RS 6 Avant matured from a European car to a global success model
and consistently tapped into important growth markets? It has been available
in China since the C7 generation and the United States of America and Canada
since the C81 generation.
... the first RS 6 generation was used for racing in North America, namely in
the Speed GT class of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) program? Randy
Pobst was the champion in the first season. His teammate Michael Galati came in second.
... the “Pirelli Noise Canceling System” (PNCS) was used for the first time in
the C7 generation? These special tires produce low rolling noise because of a
polyurethane sponge integrated into the tire body. The system absorbs most
the vibrations, ensuring significantly less noise pollution.
... half of all RS 6 customers in Europe now order a towing hitch.
They are taking advantage of the RS 6's DNA and its suitability for everyday use.
