The First ABT Audi RS6-LE Arrives at Monterey Car Week
Monterey Car Week is always an exciting time for car enthusiasts, and this year is no exception. One of the highlights of the event is the arrival of the first Audi RS6-LE tuned by ABT in the U.S. This special edition Audi, known as the ABT RS6-LE (Legacy Edition), has been built by U.S. partner LCE Performance USA in Phoenix, Arizona, and is set to make its public debut at Exotics on Broadway this coming Saturday in Seaside, California.
The ABT RS6-LE features a stunning Dark Olive Green wrap that immediately catches the eye. Enhancing the aggressive look of the car is a new carbon fiber splitter at the front, as well as carbon fiber wing mirror caps, distinctive side skirts, a rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser. The hood has also been modified with a prominent carbon fiber insert that not only adds to the aesthetics but also improves heat dissipation.
In addition to the exterior modifications, LCE Performance USA has fitted the RS6-LE with ABT’s IR22 forged wheels with a gold-painted finish. The car has also been equipped with lowering springs and new front and rear suspension stabilizers for improved handling. To enhance the exhaust note, a stainless steel exhaust system with new 102 mm tailpipes has been installed.
However, the most exciting aspect of the ABT RS6-LE lies under the hood. Each RS6-LE comes with new turbochargers, an upgraded intercooler, ECU remapping, and optimized cooling to unleash the full potential of the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. As a result, the RS6-LE produces a staggering 750 horsepower and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque.
Inside the cabin, ABT has added several special touches to make the RS6-LE feel even more exclusive. The steering wheel has been wrapped in Alcantara and features a 12 o’clock marking for a sporty feel. The seats have been retrimmed with ABT and RS6-LE logos, and new floor mats with the RS6-LE logo have been installed. ABT has also added a new start-stop switch cap, door entry lighting, and a new trunk mat to complete the luxurious interior.
ABT plans to produce only 200 examples of the limited-run RS6-LE worldwide, and it’s expected that North America will be one of its most important markets. With its stunning design, powerful performance, and exclusive features, the ABT RS6-LE is sure to attract attention from car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
