2025 Audi RS6 Avant Is A Race Car Cosplay
Audi is bringing the limited-edition RS6 Avant GT to the U.S. for 2025, paying homage to the iconic Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO race car.
The RS6 Avant GT gains a retuned 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine which now makes 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, giving it a performance boost over the standard RS6 Avant. This allows the wagon to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph.
2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT: All The Details
The 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT throws back to Audi's iconic IMSA livery and is available in a choice of Nardo Grey or Arkona White.
Exclusive RS badging completes the exterior, along with unique 22-inch “Avus” wheels painted in Ibis White. Enhancing its aerodynamic profile, the RS6 GT features a pass-through roof-edge spoiler, redesigned front fascia, lower splitter, side sills, and rear diffuser. Carbon-fiber fenders and a hood complete the sleek, aggressive look.
Inside, the RS6 Avant GT continues the heritage theme with a thoughtfully designed interior. RS sport seats in Valcona leather are adorned with red and copper double stitching and an RS6 GT logo, all highlighted by Crimson Red seatbelts.
The cabin’s distinctive features include floormats embroidered with "RS6 GT" lettering, a Dinamica-covered dashboard, center console, and upper door panels, as well as Alcantara finishes with matching red and copper stitching on the steering wheel and armrests.
Mechanically, the 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT comes equipped with massive 16.5-inch front and 14.6-inch rear carbon-ceramic brakes as standard. To enhance handling even further Audi has fitted a unique three-way adjustable coilover suspension system and optimized the quattro sport rear differential specifically for this model.
Unlike the standard RS 6 Avant, the limited-edition RS 6 Avant GT undergoes a more specialized production process. Its body construction and painting are completed in the main production line at Neckarsulm, while the final assembly takes place at the exclusive Böllinger Höfe facility. This is the same site where the Audi R8 was built and where the RS e-tron GT is currently produced in small-series fashion.
Just 660 units are scheduled for production with a mere 85 of those allocated for American shoppers. The 2025 RS6 Avant GT will be the most powerful RS6 ever offered and will carry a price tag of $198,900.
