Those who fancy a fast, handsome estate car have one obvious choice and that is the Audi RS6. But if that car is too powerful, too handsome, or just too damn expensive for your taste, the next logical choice would be a souped-up S6. And this ABT Audi S6 Avant is the best one of that.

There isn’t much on the outside by the virtue of which you can tell this car is a heavily tricked-out version. ABT Audi S6 Avant only gets a set of 21-inch wheels which to an uninterested eye look like the car’s stock rims. The suspension has been substantially lowered as well, but that is even harder you notice.

Inside the cabin there are more telltale signs that this car is something special, and not just because of the LED shift lights on the steering wheel or ABT floor mats. Once inside, you get to drive this car and that is when you notice it has a lot more oomph than a normal S6.

The 4.0 liter bi-turbo V8 engine in the ABT Audi S6 Avant has been revised by the tuner using new software as well as modified intake and exhaust systems. As a result it now makes 550 horsepower which is a hundred more than the standard and enough to give the car a top speed of 290 km/h.
