The Audi RS6 quattro, commonly referred to as the RS6 (properly RS 6), is a high performance mid-size luxury executive car, produced by AUDI AG's high performance private subsidiary company quattro GmbH, for the Audi marque, which is part of the Volkswagen Group. Available for limited time scales, the RS6 is the highest performing version, and top-of-the-line specification of the Audi A6 model range, positioned distinctly above the Audi S6.
Both versions of the RS6 are, or have been produced as a five-door five-seat "Avant", Audi's name for a estate car/station wagon, along with a four-door five-seat saloon/sedan. Furthermore, their internal combustion engines are all front-mounted, are longitudinally oriented, and are not shared with any other vehicle. The transmission is mounted immediately at the rear of the engine in a longitudinal orentation, in the form of a transaxle.
