Audi RS6 2020

Post category:Audi

Overview of the new RS6 High-performance station wagons are a rare breed in America, but the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant aims to repopulate the species when it reaches our shores. Derived from the already-excellent Audi A6 sedan, the souped-up station wagon adds RS-specific bodywork and exclusive go-fast goodies. While alternatives such as the Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagon and the mightiest Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo currently rule the long-roof roost, the forthcoming 2020 RS6 Avant could conquer them all. Engine, Ride, and Handling Audi endows the RS6 Avant with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, which generates 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.

Although most of 4G cars have a reverse camera, mine doesn't.

Parts Required There are several parts you need for this: Module - the A6 part number is 4G0907441 but you can use a module from A8 - 4h0907441 - whatever you find cheaper from eBay, or at least that's what I did.Camera - camera number is 7P6827566 but you can get a cheap China clone which is actually better than the original one.

Switching to the much better looking facelift shifting knob or an RS style one requires a bit more effort than simply purchasing the knob itself and replacing it.

Post category:Audi A6 4G Electric Retrofits Interior Retrofits

Led sills look awesome on your car at night. There are numerous variants with S-Line, Allroad, S6 and RS6 illuminated ones.

Plus, chinese ones have circle cables that require you to drill through your car which is ridiculous. If you're getting them 2nd hand, make sure to peel off completely the old tape, clean it with alcochol and use the best one you can get your hands on to avoid dust and dirt going under. Parts Required Here are the parts you…
