Clad in a stunning deep black paint job, complemented by resplendent gold wheels, the Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Bronze Editions provide a trim package one notch above the standard model. Not stopping at appearance alone, Audi has imbued these special editions with enhanced features and an increased top speed, elevating the driving experience to new heights.

Built upon the foundation of the new Performance trim, the RS6 and RS7 Bronze Editions harness the might of a formidable 4,0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. With larger turbos and heightened boost, they generate a breathtaking 463 kW of power and an awe-inspiring 850 N.m of torque.

Audi engineers have spared no effort in refining the performance of these masterpieces. The inclusion of a smaller and lighter centre differential ensures nimble handling, while the newly designed 22-inch wheels, enveloped in sticky Continental Contact Sport 7 summer tires, deliver a precise grip on the road, all while reducing weight by 5 kg per corner.

The Bronze Edition cars arrive in a lustrous Sebring Black crystal effect paint, tastefully paired with matte neodymium gold five-spoke wheels that exude a motorsport-inspired allure. Complementing the exterior aesthetics are black-painted callipers and glossy carbon trim.

Stepping into the cabin, occupants are enveloped in opulence, courtesy of the Audi exclusive Valcona leather package, accentuated by bronze contrast stitching. Further enhancing the experience is a synthetic suede headliner, creating an environment that exudes both luxury and sportiness.

As a testament to their exclusivity, these models come equipped with a host of standard upgrades, including a high-performance Bang & Olufsen sound system, a sport exhaust system boasting black tips, and Dynamic Ride Control. The latter replaces the air suspension with three-way adjustable hydraulic dampers and steel springs, ensuring optimal handling and comfort.

The Bronze Edition cars also receive a substantial performance boost, as Audi graciously raises the electronic speed limiter from 250 km/h to an impressive 280 km/h, further amplifying the exhilaration of the driving experience. With the utmost exclusivity in mind, Audi plans to limit the availability of these exceptional vehicles in the United States.

A mere 125 Bronze Edition cars will be sold, with the RS6 Avant accounting for 75 units and the remaining 50 reserved for the RS7. While the pricing of these extraordinary machines remains undisclosed at present, it is unlikely that these special editions will arrive on South African shores.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
