ABT Celebrates 120 Years With Limited Edition Audi RS6 "1 of 12"
In celebration of its 120th anniversary, ABT, the globally recognized Audi tuner, has introduced the limited-edition ABT RS6 “1 of 12". A rare automotive beauty, this model is strictly limited to twelve units, showcasing a daring blend of sportiness, power, and exclusivity. The model made its first appearance at the Geneva Motor Show, stirring up a wave of anticipation among Audi enthusiasts and speed aficionados alike.
Power and Performance
The ABT RS6 “1 of 12" is equipped with a heart-thumping 735 hp (541 kW) powertrain, a notable 175 hp (129 kW) increase from the standard RS6 model. A torque of 920 Nm, a peak speed of 320 kph, and ABT POWER S's specially developed engine control unit - these elements come together to promise a high-octane performance. The RS6 “1 of 12" is poised to conquer any driving situation, matching, if not surpassing, the prowess of many racers out there.
Design and Aesthetics
The RS6 “1 of 12" exudes a unique charm through its distinct design and understated elegance. Its assertive stance, even at rest, is a testament to its performance capabilities. The car's aerodynamic package, featuring components such as air inlet panels, front flics, and mirror caps, mostly made from exposed carbon, adds to its dynamic elegance. Its rear view is especially captivating, sporting a carbon rear spoiler with the "1/12" logo and four matching tailpipes.
Wheels and Interiors
Adding to the car's stylish design, the ABT RS6 “1 of 12" is outfitted with a set of ABT FR wheels featuring five double spokes and shod in Dunlop high-performance tyres, suitable for top speeds. Inside, the vehicle is an epitome of luxury. The cabin is decked with bi-colour leather sport-type seats, Alcantara-covered pillars, headliner, and tailgate. The dashboard, door panels, and the steering wheel carry a beautiful combination of leather and Alcantara, with the latter featuring colourful decorative seams. The “1/12“ signet and the “120 years” lettering are tastefully placed, reflecting the car's exclusive status.
Exclusivity Above All
ABT’s CEO, Hans-Jürgen Abt, justified the decision to limit production to just twelve units instead of 120, stating it preserves the car's exclusivity. The limited production run ensures the owners belong to a highly exclusive club, with each vehicle telling a unique story in its own right. Given the ABT RS6 "1 of 12" model's enticing blend of performance, luxury, and exclusivity, it's safe to predict that these beauties will soon be sold out, becoming treasures in the collections of discerning automotive enthusiasts.
