Auto Car | 2008 IMSA Audi RS 6 | Beginning with the exterior, IMSA designers filled the bold flared fenders with center-locking 20 in. Challenge wheels. Complementing the wider stance is a revised suspension calibration of Audi’s advanced Dynamic Ride Control system. Together, the lower, wider track gives the car an even more menacing demeanor.
IMSA Tuning usually focus their efforts on the Lamborghini but in a rare shift to the mellow side they have taken on the Audi RS6 with this new performance package.
Power output of the stock 5.0-liter V10 engine rises from 580hp up to a respectable 650hp and 745Nm of torque, further complimented with a stainless steel exhaust system. A ride-lowering suspension system hugs the model to the road and a set of 20 inch wheels featuring a central locking system that is usually saved for just the Lambo range provides the grip that the additional performance will require.
The upgrades result a 0-100km/h time of 4.2 seconds down from 4.6 seconds on the regular Avant model and it reaches 200km/h in 13.8 second
With their extensive knowledge of complete Lamborghini performance engine rebuilds, the same type of treatment goes for the Audi, right? Well, not exactly (for this time around, anyway). Engineers over at Bruggen added only a free flowing stainless steel exhaust to the potent 580-hp V-10 powerplant. All told, the IMSA RS 6 makes a whopping 650 horses and 550 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough power to rocket the wagon to 62 mph in less than 4.2 sec.
Although not stated by IMSA, we’re guessing some more horses were bred by way of a new ECU or intake system. Compared to the MTM’s and ABT Sportline’s 700-plus horsepower, Ferrari beating uber machines we previously covered, IMSA’s carefully crafted tuning schedule seems fairly civilized. But then again, the Audi RS 6 isn’t exactly tame to begin with.
More mods from IMSA, the self-proclaimed Audi-mobili Lamborghini tuner, are said to be in the works, and given the tuner’s track record, we can’t wait to see what’s nex
