Audi Tuned “White Power” RS6 – Wait, What??? (Update Inside)
Avus Performance Tuners over there in the most liberal place on Earth, Germany, really need to rethink how they choose names for their Audi projects. Or maybe they shouldn’t let the guy who does “WWII reenactments” alone in his house on weekends pick the name of their tuned Audi RS6 – The – WHITE POWER RS6 – we shit you not. Maybe it translates differently into German?
–UPDATE– AVUS Performance has issued a press release announcing the use of the “White Power” title is a mistranslation:
Dear visitors, readers and customers,
We are very sorry and unfortunate for what has actually happened and is currently happening to our first press report. Due to a mistranslation of our latest project car – the Audi RS6 V10 biturbo – there were lots of radical right-wing rumors on all different blogs and pages that received our first press report. We distance ourselves from the project title – it was done by our press agency which obviously mistranslated our German project name into English. Furthermore we distance ourselves from anything that has to do with that group synonym and we would also like to say sorry if anyone got personally touched.
Deepest Regards
The AVUS PERFORMANCE Team
Aside from being the worst vehicle name since Nova (and also kinda racist), The Avus 58 Horse Power RS6 features a fantastically tuned suspension and high performance exhaust system. The maximum power can be increased up to 700 horse power, with a 0-60 mark of only in 3.9 seconds, and 0-120 in 12.1 seconds! The RS6 is electronically limited at 211.27 mph, oh those Germans, always trying to regulate something! Full detail in the press release below.
With its 580bhp and an impressive 650Nm ( 479.35 lb/ft) of torque the actual Audi RS6 is the perfect symbiosis of an estate and a super car. For AVUS Performance, based in Berlin, that starting basis was not enough.
As the importer for Sportec products in Germany they equipped the RS6 with a new high performance exhaust system with a diameter of 70mm, racing catalysts and a new ECU software. The maximum power increased up to 700bhp and an astonishing 800Nm (589.97 lb/ft ) of torque are now tearing all 4 wheels.
The results are 0-60 in 3.9s, 0-120 in 12.1s and the RS6 is electronically limited at 211.27mph to not overstress the tires of the V10 biturbo. To get the power to the ground at best Avus Performance mounted a set of 22″ wheels in the classic Sportec Mono 10 design.
Besides the better grip these have great impact to the overall look. The already good standard factory suspension with electronic settings was only slightly modified with lowering springs which help to lower the car by 40mm. The handling improves noticeable and the car gets much more agile. On the other hand it fits perfectly to the complete look of the car and makes sense in combination with all the other options. Last but not least a carbon front-lip and a rear diffusor are also offered and are the icing on the cake.
