Audi launches exclusive station wagon for Brazil with millionaire price

Days after launching the station wagon RS 6 Avant Performance in Brazil, for a millionaire price, another station wagon from Audi landed on national soil. Now, it’s the turn of RS 6 Avant Legacy. The version, which is created exclusively for the Brazilian market, has an even higher price. It costs R$1,364,990 and is limited to just 15 units. Deliveries will be made throughout the year.

For the money, the station wagon offers a different look, more equipment and dynamic adjustments to improve performance and, therefore, become even more sporty. First of all, it is worth highlighting that the arrival of the station wagon is part of the series of launches that Audi is preparing throughout this year to celebrate its 30 years in the Brazilian market. So much so that there is an “Audi 30 years” logo engraved on the rear window to identify the series.

The Audi RS 6 Avant Legacy, which is the result of a partnership with the Audi Sport team, is based on the RS 6 Avant Performance model. Therefore, both versions share the same mechanical characteristics and performance figures. (check below).

Regarding dimensions, the RS 6 Avant Legacy is 5 meters long, 2.11 m wide, 1.49 m high and has a wheelbase of 2.93 m. The fuel tank capacity is 73 liters and the trunk holds 565 liters.

Mechanics have a V8 engine and electrification

Under the front hood, there is a 4.0 V8 biturbo engine, with larger turbines, which rotate with more pressure than before (2.6 bar, compared to 2.4 bar in the previous model). This means better performance. Power, for example, rose from 600 hp to 630 hp. Torque is also high: 86.6 mkgf between 2,050 rpm and 4,500 revolutions. The transmission is the eight-speed Tiptronic. And it has a Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. And there are four different driving modes through the Audi Drive Select: Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Individual.

This set allows the super sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. That’s 0.2 seconds faster than the previous model. 0 to 200 km/h is done in 11.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 280 km/h. Additionally, there is a new exhaust system to intensify the sound experience.

And, to reduce emissions levels, it has electrical assistance. Audi has added to the mechanics a lithium-ion battery and a belt alternator (BAS) on a 48-volt primary electrical system. Through it, the model can travel at speeds between 55 and 160 km/h with the combustion engine turned off.

Finally, the RS 6 has dynamic rear axle technology, which allows the rear wheels to be rotated by up to five degrees. At low speeds, they turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, reducing the turning diameter. At high speeds, however, they turn in the same direction as the front axle, reinforcing stability during lane changes. It also has adaptive and sports air suspension.
