Audi RS6 Wagon Bids Farewell With Special Nogaro Edition

A new Audi A6 is scheduled to arrive next year, which means the current-generation model has to go out with a bang.

The German automaker has announced the RS6 Avant Nogaro Edition, packing 695 horsepower and 649 pound-feet of torque while being limited to just 150 units. The bad news? Only Germany will get to enjoy the RS6 Avant Nogaro Edition, as it won’t be heading to any other markets. For North Americans, this is hardly a surprise since the standard RS6 Avant isn’t even sold in the U.S. or Canada.

Along with additional performance from the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, Audi has spiced up the interior with exclusive leather upholstery with blue Alcantara on the knee pads, seat center panel, and door panels. There’s also contrast stitching throughout the cabin, while the headliner has been redone in Alcantara with blue decorative stitching.

The Nogaro Edition earns its name from the iconic Nogaro Blue exterior paint, the color made famous by Audi’s original wagon, the RS2.

Built in collaboration with Audi tuner ABT Sportsline, pricing starts at around 124,200 euros ($154,400 USD) for the standard version, and 130,000 euros ($161,600) if you want the blue accents throughout the car. Of course, being a limited production car, each unit comes with an individually numbered plaque.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

ABT Sportsline 2016 CW33 ABT Golf GTI Clubsport with 340 hp

At the age of 40, many people discover gyms because they want to stay in shape. And the Golf GTI, always the fastest Golf, now turns 40 too, but has been in better shape from generation to generation. This especially applies to the ABT Golf GTI Clubsport , which has been upgraded from 265 hp (195 kW) to no less than 340 hp (250 kW), with torque now at 430 Nm (production car: 350 Nm). This GTI makes fun to drive, both when cornering and when overtaking. The Clubsport is the most powerful of four ABT POWER variants but they are all agile and active. After all, they have all been developed by racing professionals. For the ABT Golf GTI , and thus in part also for the Clubsport , the Bavarian enhancer has come up with a very powerful body package. The depicted car does not feature all the components, but they all become this “racing golf”. The front spoiler and head light covers form an assertive unit, and the side skirts, mirror caps and the rear skirt set with its 4-pipe muffler syste...
