It can reach 62 mph in 2.91 seconds.

The Audi RS6 Avant is already one of the most desirable wagons in the world. But ABT wants to make it even more unique by launching the Johann Abt Signature Edition. This limited edition of 64 cars marks the 125th anniversary of Abt’s establishment of its workshop in 1886.

The RS6 Avant Johann Abt Signature Edition produces 790 horsepower (589 kilowatts). The torque is 723 pound-feet (980 Newton meters) but can reach 738 lbft (1,099 Nm). A stock RS6 Avant produces 591 hp (441 kW), and 590 lbft (800 Nm).

This power allows the Abt-tuned wagon reach speeds of 62 miles an hour (100 km per hour) in 2.91 seconds , compared to 3.6 seconds for its stock counterpart. It can reach speeds of 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.79 seconds, and 186mph (300 km/h) in 28.35 second. ABT has installed turbochargers, intercoolers and an oil cooling system in-house to make the RS6 Avant even faster. A custom engine control unit is also available. The new exhaust has four, 102-millimeter-diameter matte black stainless steel tailpipes.

ABT can also fit a height-adjustable suspension with new anti-roll bars. The body’s new look features a revised front fascia and rear elements made of carbon fiber, with a red metallic thread in their weave. The wheels are forged to 22 inches and weigh in at 7.72 pounds (3.5 kg). The cabin has more red-tinged carbon fibre as trim. The “Since 1896” lettering is on the doors, seats, armrests, and door sills. Each car comes with a time capsule containing a fragment of the Abt-family’s original anvil.
