2023 Audi RS6 Avant Performance Carbon Vorsprung

This 2023 RS6 Avant is specified in Performance Carbon Vorsprung trim — the flagship of the C8 RS6 range, combining the uprated 621 bhp version of Audi's 4.0 TFSI twin-turbo V8 with the fully-loaded Vorsprung equipment list and extensive exposed carbon detailing. Finished in silver over a heated cabin, it has covered 6,663 miles from new and retains the RS Steel Brakes with red gloss calipers.

Notable factory kit includes the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System, head-up display, panoramic glass roof and heated front and rear seats. The Performance pack lifts output from the standard 592 bhp, trimming the 0-62 mph time to 3.4 seconds and raising top speed to 174 mph — figures that remain genuinely startling in a full-size estate.

As the final iteration of the petrol-powered RS6 before hybridisation arrives with the next generation, the Performance Vorsprung is arguably the most complete fast estate Audi has built to date. Low-mileage examples in this specification are increasingly sought after.
