When Audi announced the RS 6 Avant GT in early 2024, it did so knowing full well the car would become an instant collector’s piece. Just 660 were earmarked for global production, with Australia receiving a grand total of 21 individually numbered examples. Every single one was spoken for before the ink dried on the press release. Now, one has appeared for sale at an Audi dealer in Sydney’s southern suburbs, listed as a dealer demo with just 2,000 kilometres on the clock.
The asking price? $445,565 drive away, or $345,643 before estimated government charges. For context, the RS 6 Avant GT’s original list price was $399,000 before on-roads, which already represented a $149,000 premium over the standard RS 6 Performance it’s based on.
What Makes The GT Worth The Premium
The GT doesn’t actually produce any more power than the RS 6 Performance. It still runs the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 pushing 463kW and 805Nm through Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. The 0-100km/h sprint takes 3.3 seconds and the top speed is pegged at 305km/h.
Where the money goes is into the mechanical hardware that transforms the car’s character. A quattro sport rear differential adds genuine rear-biased handling to the RS 6 platform, while manually adjustable coilover suspension (with spring rates 30 per cent stiffer at the front and a substantial 80 per cent stiffer at the rear) lets owners dial in their preferred balance. Three-way adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars round out the chassis package, with carbon-ceramic brakes as standard.
The visual changes are hard to miss, too. The bonnet, front fenders, and mirror caps are all carbon fibre. Massive 22-inch white-painted six-spoke alloys fill the arches, and the body wears graphics inspired by the 2020 RS 6 GTO concept, itself a nod to the legendary Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO racer that tore through American competition in 1989. Roof rails have been deleted entirely.
This Particular Car
The Sydney-listed example is finished in Arkona White (the only alternative was Mythos Black), built in March 2025 and complied in June 2025. It’s classified as a mild hybrid electric vehicle courtesy of its 12kW electric motor integrated into the drivetrain.
Inside, the spec sheet reads like a greatest hits of Audi’s options catalogue: leather and Dinamica bucket seats with matt carbon backrests, red seatbelts, open-pore carbon twill trim, illuminated RS 6 GT scuff plates, puddle lights, and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system.
One detail worth knowing: unlike the regular RS 6 Performance built at Neckarsulm, the GT was finished at Audi’s Böllinger Höfe plant, the same facility that until recently produced the R8 supercar.
Finding an RS 6 Avant GT for sale at all is notable. Finding one with just 2,000km on it, at a franchised dealer in Sydney, is about as close to a new example as anyone is likely to get from here on out. With only 21 in the country and Audi’s combustion-era performance wagons rapidly approaching their final chapter, the numbers are unlikely to trend downward any time soon.
