• New RS 6: a sporty Avant for all purposes 
• V8 twin turbo: 4.0 TFSI producing 600 metric hp and 800Nm

Al Nabooda Automobiles, the exclusive importer and distributor of Audi in Dubai and the Northern Emirates announces the arrivals of the Audi RS 6  Avant and RS 7 Sportback to its showrooms. With the release of these two models, Audi is ushering in a new chapter in the history of the high performance cars: Even more performance combined with increased efficiency thanks to a mild hybrid system. The RS 6 and RS 7 have been refined in a way, that allows for even more suitability for every day use combined with incredible performance and a stunning design. 

The new RS 7 Sportback shares the coupé-like lines of the base model’s body, but only in four areas: the hood, the roof, the front doors and the tailgate. The RS-specific exterior design gives the grand tourer a character all of its own. Large front air inlets and vertical fins in gloss black add to the aggressive styling. A horizontal blade marks a distinctive downward edge to the front end. The side view of the new Audi RS7 Sportback reveals sharply defined lines and curved surfaces like well-toned muscles. The flared wheel arches emphasize the relentlessly sporty nature of the high-performance model from Audi Sport.

A stripped-down look with sporty accents are the key stylistic elements in the interior of the new Audi RS 7 Sportback. Much like the exterior design, the design language combines taut, sinewy surfaces with clearly defined contours. There is plenty of space for the driver and passenger, with the architecture of the interior accomplishing a seamless transition to the futuristic user interface.

Special RS displays in the RS 7 as well as the RS 6 use the Audi virtual cockpit to provide details of tire pressure, torque, performance, oil temperature, boost pressure, lap times, acceleration, and g-forces.

The new Audi RS 6 Avant is no wolf in sheep’s clothing – it shows off its distinct design with great confidence. Aside from the front doors, the roof and the luggage compartment cover, all body panels are RS-specific. The new hood with powerdome, the striking lateral air inlets with vertical wings, and the wide flat Singleframe leave no doubt as to the unconditional drive of the RS icon.

The interior design of the new RS 6 Avant is forward-looking and markedly driver-oriented. The user interface of the fully digital operating system MMI touch response is easy to read and harmonizes with the sleek black panel design. The two displays with haptic and acoustic feedback are positioned one above the other and can be operated via touch and swiping movements. 

RS sport seats with a rhombus pattern and RS embossing in Alcantara/leather combination are fitted as standard. Alternatively, the seat upholstery is available in perforated Valcona leather with honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. 

Al Nabooda Automobiles offers both models with the RS matrix LED laser headlights and LED rear lights which are equipped with dynamic turn signal lights and run through RS-specific sequences when the vehicle is locked and unlocked.

Thanks to its mild hybrid system (MHEV) with a 48-volt main on-board electrical system, the 4.0 TFSI combines maximum performance with high efficiency. The cylinder on demand (COD) system in the RS 7 and RS6 is another weapon in the vehicle’s armory when it comes to efficiency. In higher gears at low to medium loads and engine speeds, it will deactivate cylinders 2, 3, 5, and 8 by halting injection and ignition and closing the intake and exhaust valves. In four-cylinder mode, the operating points will switch to the active cylinders at higher loads, thereby improving efficiency, while the deactivated cylinders continue to run like gas springs, largely without any losses. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal, they are reactivated immediately.

The four-liter engine produces a full-bodied and sporty V8 sound. The Audi drive select dynamic handling system allows adjustments to the sonorous growl of the power unit. RS sport exhaust system with black tailpipe trim provides an even fuller sound. 

The power produced by the 4.0 TFSI flows via the standard eight-speed tiptronic transmission with optimized shift times and a new launch control function to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. 

Al Nabooda offers the RS-specific wheels with a 22-inch 5-V-spoke design with 285/30 tires in gloss turned anthracite black finish with red RS brake calipers. 

The Audi RS6 Avant is available at Al Nabooda Automobiles at AED 589,050 and the Audi RS7 at AED 599,550.
