The 2025 FIM MotoGP World Championship saw motorsport champions Marc and Álex Márquez finish in a 1-2 position, respectively. And to commemorate this achievement and their performance throughout the season, they were each gifted a customised Audi RS 6 Avant quattro performance from Audi Spain.

Finished in Mythos Black paintwork, replete with Daytona Grey wing mirrors, Marc’s RS 6 Avant rolls on Matte Black 22-inch alloy wheels. Sited behind the latter are red carbon-ceramic brake callipers. Álex’s example features Daytona Grey exterior paint, Mythos Black wing mirrors, Matte Titanium Grey alloys, and blue brake callipers. The two examples also feature distinctive wheels.

Further distinguishing these RS 6 Avants from the “standard” model, in lieu of embossed ‘RS’ logos, the seats of Marc and Álex’s RS 6 Avants feature their racing numbers – 73 and 93, respectively. The pews of their respective examples also feature contrast stitching resembling their teams’ hues: red for Ducati Lenovo and blue for Gresini for whom Marc and Álex races, respectively. The duo’s racing numbers, along with ‘Audi Sport’ and their initials appear on their respective cars’ illuminated door sills.

As a reminder, the RS 6 Avant quattro performance’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol motor produces a healthy 463 kW and 850 N.m of torque, the latter available in a broad 2 300 to 4 500 r/min swathe of the rev band. According to the Ingolstadt automaker, these figures allow the high-performance wagon to launch from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The top speed is electronically governed to 250 km/h, though can be lifted to 280 km/h as an option.
