The

Audi RS6-E Hybrid Avant is a prototype created by German tuner ABT. Its electric motor, located on the rear axle, delivers a genuinely fascinating extra boost.

The Audi RS6 Avant has received an interesting makeover at the hands of ABT. The German tuner has created a prototype of this super family saloon that features a hybrid drive system. The car has been christened Audi RS6-E Hybrid Concept and offers performance far superior to the production version. Unfortunately, ABT has not confirmed that it will put this hybrid version of the Audi RS6 Avant into series production.

This hybrid prototype of the Audi RS6 Avant incorporates an electric motor on the rear axle that is activated by pressing a button, unleashing an additional boost: the combined output of the electric and combustion engines is 1,004 CV of power and 1,291 Nm of torque. This means an increase of 407 CV over the standard Audi RS6 Avant, and 284 CV more than ABT’s previous tuning of this car. The propulsion system is also linked to a 13.6 kWh battery.
