Audi RS 6 GT – Competition, overall results and prices

If we have to measure the Audi RS 6 GT against other large 100% thermal family super sports cars, the comparison falls short: the BMW M5 has just become a plug-in hybrid (727 horsepower from €162,050), the Mercedes- AMG E63 no longer exists and the Porsche Panamera (now only offered as a sedan) also uses plug-in hybrid technology in its top versions.

Among electrics, the 775-horsepower Porsche Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo costs €216,197 and will have no trouble outclassing the RS 6 GT in terms of performance and pure efficiency. With obviously less driving character…

To remember: a last stand that could have gone even further

Extreme in its exterior presentation and its suspension technology, the Audi RS 6 GT only lacks a V8 pushed to the maximum and semi-slick tires to establish itself as the most extreme thermal family super sports car of all. automobile history. The RS 6 Performance, marginally less efficient and significantly more comfortable, remains objectively a better car. The idea of ​​a limited series with slightly advanced chassis preparation to celebrate the history of its lineage remains, despite everything, a quite touching approach in itselfeven if the price of €230,000 (and even €236,300 in with the standard stickers) seems quite crazy (especially when we add the €60,000 of the 2024 French penalty or the €70,000 of the amount planned for 2025) . The RS 6 GT will be limited to 660 examples worldwide, including 34 for France.

What future does Audi have in store for this RS 6? The latest news is that it should become 100% electric like the rest of the A6 range. But it is not impossible that we will soon discover a new large thermal sedan based on the new PPC platform, with why not an ultra-sporty plug-in hybrid version. The line of 100% thermal RS 6s, in any case, will most likely die out with this RS 6 GT.
