Audi RS 6 - Engine

6
The power plant. The heart of the RS 6. This ten-cylinder engine
generates impressive torque of up to 650 Nm all the way from
1,500 to 6,250 rpm. The enhanced 6-speed tiptronic gearbox with
shortened shift times adds dynamism to your drive, reacting to
your every impulse in just fractions of a second.
A twin-turbocharged 10-cylinder 580PS TFSI engine. The words
alone are enough to set the adrenaline coursing through your
veins. So just imagine the thrill when you find yourself pinned
back into your Satin Nappa leather Sports seat by the sheer
force of 650 Nm of torque – accelerating the RS 6 from a standing
start to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds.
Not so long ago, that kind of power was unimaginable. Until

came onto the scene, that is. This unique Audi technology,
which injects fuel directly and precisely into the engine’s
combustion chambers, was originally developed for Le Mans to
deliver increased power and torque as well as enhanced fuel
efficiency. It’s seen Audi win the world-famous 24-hour endurance
race year after year after year, leaving the competition trailing far
behind. And it does exactly the same in the Audi RS 6.
