2013 Audi RS6 Avant: The Super Wagon
The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant might be the best super wagon on that market. With a whopping 552HP and an equally impressive 516 lb-ft of torque this Audi is no laughing matter. Mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic, this Audi also has the perfect transmission to work alongside this beast of an engine. The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant his 0-60 in only 3.9 seconds making this one of the fastest production Audi’s ever. Of course, the brilliance of this power and speed comes from the twin turbo 4.0L V8 that is starting to become the staple of Audi’s high end performance cars. This is the same engine that powers the Audi S6 and S7, but of course instead of 420HP you get an extra 132P in this setup. Considering those vehicles hit 0-60 in about 4 seconds, that 3.9 second number here is looking very conservative.
