A Deeper Look at the 2012 ABT AS6 Avant
Unveiled with the promise of luxury and dynamism, the 2012 ABT AS6 Avant proves to be more than just an attractive piece of machinery. With its unique blend of sportiness and comfort, it has set out to redefine long-distance travel. Boasting ample luggage space and the signature four-exhaust rear view, the AS6 Avant strikes an impressive figure, both on the road and at a standstill.
Engineered for Performance
Rooted in ABT's 115 years of tuning expertise, the AS6 Avant has been tailored to exude both confidence and class. It gracefully fits into the scene whether parked at an opera house or spotted at the Nürburgring. Encapsulated in the three letters A-B-T, the AS6 Avant is a testament to the company's race track heritage. Equipped with a choice of turbo diesel or gasoline engines, each variant offers a significant upgrade over its Audi A6 Avant base. The most potent 3.0 TDI engine churns out 300 HP, a substantial leap from the original's 245 HP. Moreover, the AS6 Avant stands out with its capability to reach 0 to 100 km/h in a precise five seconds, thanks to its performance-improved V6 gasoline engine, delivering a hefty 420 HP.
Distinct Aesthetics
ABT's design language is confidently showcased on the AS6 Avant, making it a sight to behold from all angles. Complementing its elongated form are the strategically placed side skirts and front spoiler, providing an elegant yet powerful stance. The finishing touch is the rear spoiler and rear apron, complete with the four exhaust pipes that we've come to associate with ABT. The AS6 Avant also boasts designer light-metal wheels, available in 19, 20, and 21-inch variants, reinforcing the car's commanding presence. High-speed tires can also be outfitted to match the vehicle's impressive performance capabilities.
Committed to Luxury and Practicality
Regardless of the engine chosen, ABT assures customers that the AS6 Avant is not just about raw power. It aims to deliver a balanced driving experience that caters to high-end tastes without compromising on everyday reliability or suitability for long journeys. This approach reflects the philosophy that one should not sacrifice comfort and luxury for the thrill of speed. Thus, in the AS6 Avant, ABT presents a delightful blend of sportiness and pragmatism.

Various options are available for engine configurations, from 3.0 TDI to 3.0 TFSI, with ABT's POWER and POWER S performance tunings boosting the output to up to 420 HP. Complementing these are aerodynamic components including side skirts, front spoiler, rear skirt insert, and rear spoiler, all contributing to the car's sleek profile.
