Mansory’s Rare Moment of Restraint
Few names in the tuning world divide opinion as much as Mansory. The German tuner is known for skipping subtlety in favor of exposed carbon fiber, bold colors, and big power numbers. Sometimes the result works, but more often, it misses the mark.
Once in a while, Mansory comes up with something that feels almost restrained – at least by its own standards. This Audi RS6 Avant is a good example. It is still bold and heavily modified, but it avoids going over the top. That alone is a step forward compared to some of Mansory’s earlier work. This is not the company's first RS6, either. Earlier builds already pushed the wagon to its limits, but this latest version takes things even further, especially when it comes to power.
Carbon Everywhere, Mint Included
Outside, the hot-selling RS6 Avant gets the usual Mansory treatment. The front has a new apron with side blades, updated fender trim, side skirt extensions, carbon mirror caps, and a vented hood. At the rear, there is a large wing, a tailgate spoiler, and a big diffuser with a center brake light. Forged wheels fill out the arches and finish the look.
The car is finished in glossy black with forged carbon accents, broken up by teal details that carry over into the cabin. Inside, the mint color theme is everywhere – on the seats, door panels, center console, dashboard, steering wheel, seatbelts, carpets, and floor mats. White piping adds some contrast, and there are a few red highlights. Carbon fiber covers most surfaces, and illuminated Mansory logos plus a star-style headliner add some extra flair at night.

More Power Than Before
Thankfully, you'd be happy to hear that Mansory’s upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 now makes 1,085 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque. That is a big jump from the stock RS6’s 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, and it even tops Mansory’s previous RS6 builds, which reached about 986 horsepower.
The extra power comes from more extensive engine work and new turbochargers, putting this wagon in the same league as some hypercars. Mansory has not shared performance numbers, but since the stock car already does 0-62 mph in just over three seconds, the improvement is probably there, but not by a huge margin. Whether a family wagon needs this much power is up for debate, but who’s complaining?
