This is the 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT — a very special version of an already special car. Limited to just 660 units worldwide (with only 85 coming to the U.S.), the RS6 GT takes Audi’s high-performance luxury wagon formula and injects it with a heavy dose of motorsport heritage, striking visuals, and some subtle but meaningful performance tweaks.
A Tribute to Audi Racing Icons
At first glance, the RS6 GT looks unlike any RS6 you’ve seen. The white body is dressed in orange-red, gray, and black graphics, directly inspired by the legendary Audi 90 IMSA GTO race car from the late ’80s. Side by side, the design lineage is unmistakable. From the white wheels to the double rear wing setup (toned down for the road but still distinctive), Audi’s homage to its racing roots is thorough and tasteful.
Unique touches include an extended front splitter, carbon fiber fenders with functional brake cooling vents, and a carbon fiber hood with exposed stripes. Even details like the GT-specific rear diffuser and special badging on the grille, rear, and fender vents reinforce the GT’s exclusivity.
In a move to save weight and lower the center of gravity, the RS6 GT also deletes the sunroof — a subtle nod to its race car inspiration. For U.S. buyers, the only available color will be white, keeping it true to the original IMSA livery.
Performance , Same Power, Sharper Handling
Mechanically, the RS6 GT keeps the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, producing 620 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque — the same as the RS6 Performance. While the powertrain remains unchanged, Audi has sharpened the handling with a set of manually adjustable coilover sports suspension, allowing owners to set the ride height across three levels. From the factory, the GT sits half an inch lower than the standard RS6, improving both its stance and its agility.
On the road, the difference is noticeable. The RS6 GT feels tighter, more responsive, and quicker to change direction. Steering is sharper, and body roll is reduced, making this one of the most engaging wagons Audi has ever built. The trade-off? A firmer, harsher ride, which will appeal to driving enthusiasts but may feel stiff to those used to the plush comfort of a standard RS6.
As for sound, while it can’t replicate the raw, side-exit exhaust roar of the IMSA race car, the V8 still delivers a deep, throaty soundtrack that’s satisfying and fitting for a car of this caliber.
Interior , Race-Inspired Details, Everyday Usability
Inside, the RS6 GT continues the theme of subtle exclusivity. Unique RS6 GT badging appears on the door sills, floor mats, door lights, and headrests. The production number plaque (out of 660) is proudly displayed on the center console and even on the key — a small but thoughtful touch.
In Europe, RS6 GT models come with carbon fiber bucket seats and manual adjustments. Unfortunately, U.S.-bound cars will stick with the standard RS6 sport seats, though they’ll receive RS6 GT embroidery. The dashboard in U.S. models also swaps Alcantara for carbon fiber trim.
Interior details include contrast stitching in red and white across the seats and door panels, as well as red seat belts that add a motorsport vibe. Audi’s Virtual Cockpit remains one of the best digital gauge clusters in the business, with configurable displays for navigation, performance data, and more.
The dual-touchscreen layout stays intact, with the upper screen handling infotainment and the lower screen dedicated to climate control. The system is responsive and intuitive, and drive modes can be quickly accessed via the RS button on the steering wheel, which links directly to the car’s customizable RS1 and RS2 profiles.
Practicality , Still a Wagon, Still Practical
Despite its track-inspired upgrades, the RS6 GT doesn’t lose the everyday usability that makes the RS6 Avant so appealing. Rear passenger space is unchanged, with ample legroom, heated seats, USB-C ports, and rear climate controls. The cargo area remains spacious, complete with folding seat latches and side storage nets, making this one of the most practical 600+ horsepower cars on sale.
Price and Final Thoughts
Pricing for the RS6 GT in the U.S. hasn’t been officially announced, but Audi has confirmed it will be under $200,000. That’s a hefty premium over the standard RS6 Performance (which hovers around $150,000), but with only 85 units allocated for the U.S., exclusivity plays a big part in the appeal.
While the RS6 GT doesn’t bring extra horsepower to the table, it compensates with sharper handling, motorsport-inspired design, and an undeniable cool factor. For enthusiasts and collectors, this is more than just a wagon — it’s a rolling piece of Audi history.
If you’re looking for a practical daily driver that doubles as a limited-edition homage to Audi’s racing past, the RS6 Avant GT might just be the ultimate flex.
