ABT Sportsline Customizes New Audi A6 Avant

The latest generation of Audi's A6 Avant has received some aftermarket love from VW Group tuning specialist, ABT Sportsline, with the release of the AS6 package that includes both performance and styling upgrades.

The power gains are similar to those of the sedan model. The base 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel with 204HP gets a jump to 240HP, while the more potent version of the TDI with 245 factory ponies now makes 300-horsepower.

The 3.0-liter V6 gasoline TSI receives a bump from 300HP to 420HP allowing the A6 Avant to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 5.0 seconds.

There's an available body kit that comprises of a front apron, side skirts, a roof spoiler and a rear apron, while the look is completed by the quad exhaust pipes and ABT's alloy wheels in sizes 19- to 20-inches.
