Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
The star on the Audi stand at the 2002 Geneva Auto show was the RS6 with its unique high-tech package, powerful engine, Quattro permanent four-wheel drive, advanced braking system and innovative DRC suspension, all setting new standards in the high-performance vehicle segment
Motivation was courtesy of a 4. 2-litre, twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 444bhp and 413lb-ft of torque to all four wheels through a five-speed ZF automatic transmission
This example was acquired by our vendor from an Audi specialist around 10 years ago accompanied by a detailed history. The indicated mileage at that point was 88, 000 and it still displays under 100, 000 miles almost ten years later
Finished in Mugello Blue with brushed aluminium-effect door mirror covers, over a charcoal grey cabin with contrasting cream leather upholstery and featuring Recaro seats embossed with ‘RS6’ on the seat backs
Upgraded from the original DRC suspension, it's now on KW1 coil-overs and the engine has been sensibly modified
This is a well maintained example of these super competent, super quick saloons and has patently been cherished
