    Rare Audi RS6 Avant GT Review: Performance, Heritage, and Exclusivity
    Published on
    TheSmokingTire reviews the rare Audi RS6 Avant GT, a limited edition with 621 horsepower, inspired by Audi's Trans Am racing car from 1989. Differences from the RS6 performance include carbon fiber hood, new front splitter, and 10-piston carbon ceramic brakes. The GT lacks a roof rack and sunroof, features a unique rear differential for a more rear-biased feel, and comes with triple adjustable coilovers instead of adaptive air ride.
