The Audi A6 as we know it is about to disappear. The brand is about to lift the curtain on the new sedan A6 e-tron, a new generation, now 100% electric. A6, as we know, is the mythical designation of Audi, and a builder key template. The electrification of his road car was one of the priorities, and it is the one that will make it happen demonstration of Audi technologies and electrical know-how. Already at the technical level, it will be based on a completely new one EPP platform (Premium Platform Electric), which will also be equipped with Porsche and Lamborghini models. It will be able to accommodate a Battery 800Vmay accept up to 270 kW for charging. It will display the record recharge time: less than 25 minutes fill up to 80%! In this configuration of it autonomy can reach 700 kilometers despite a 476 horsepower and a torque of 800 Nm!

The end of thermal A6s

Expected for 2024-2025, its appearance will mark the death of the current A6. Launched almost 30 years ago in 1994the A6 replaced the third generation Audi 100 that year. Since then, it has been competing with BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E Class, in the category of premium road sedans. On petrol and diesel, as a station wagon or as a four-door, the A6 has always been a versatile model that brought out the best from the brand in terms of comfort, equipment and connectivity. Even sports, if you consider a radical version of the RS6 ! First introduced in the second generation in 1997, The V8 Quattro produced 480 horsepower at the time ! Today, the RS6 versions remain the most powerful in the range. only, from the penultimate generation of 2012, only the break variant, called Before. Simple sedans are no longer in the catalog, or so we thought until now.

The return of the RS6 sedan

German trainer Ado X Performance has indeed created a the only copy of the Audi RS6 sedan ! It has changed the Avant 3.0L TFSi petrol model both mechanically and aesthetically! Now it’s a quarter RS6 Avant 4.0L V8 biturbo that is under the hood of the sedan! Its power has been increased from 630 to 866 horsepower. What is the claim of 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, and a maximum speed 340 km/h. Ado X Performance endowed it bumpers, diffuser and thresholds of the station wagon RS6, so everything is properly proportioned and looks stock. “Tuning” with taste and respect for the original model. Faced with this unique RS6 sedan, we really regret that Audi didn’t consider re-launching this body type in the current generation. WITH an electric model is comingwell, it’s too late anyway…
