Cargraphic Kicks the RS6 Up a Notch

    3 Ratings
    Just the Facts:
    • Cargraphic tunes the Audi RS6 for 656 horsepower.
    • Some of the additional power comes from sport catalysts and a new stainless-steel exhaust system.
    • Cargraphic GT-R three-piece rims with 285/30R21 performance rubber complete the package.

    LANDAU, Germany — The Schnarr brothers at Cargraphic must hate to see good things come to an end. As the Audi RS6 nears the last few months of its production run, the German tuner has added some kick to the turbocharged 5.0-liter V10 and dressed up the exterior just a bit.

    The direct-injection engine has been massaged to produce 656 horsepower, a substantial increase over the standard 571 hp.

    Some of the additional power comes from sport catalysts and a new stainless-steel exhaust system, which can be ordered with quad pipes exiting through twin oval exhausts. An optional black enamel finish is available on the tailpipes.

    The other exterior enhancement is the addition of Cargraphic GT-R three-piece rims with 285/30R21 performance rubber.

    I drove this car on the autobahn in Germany, and it is a completely insane animal.  Nothing can brace you for how fast this thing is.  I drove the regular RS6 not this tuned version, but the last thing it needed was more power.  Amazing car.
