Yes, it’s true. The RS6 Avant GT boasts adjustable coilover suspension, which is astounding for a car of this ilk. Compared to the model on which it’s based, the GT sits 0.4 inches closer to the ground. Despite the racier setup, Audi promises the GT blends comfort and dynamics seamlessly, emphasizing that it’s a high-performance street car, not a track tool.
There’s a higher spring rate and triple-adjustable dampers, while the stabilizers are 30% and 80% stiffer at the front and rear, respectively. All these improvements result in less body roll.
All the tools one needs to adjust the suspension are onboard. If you’re not the type to fiddle with your vehicle, Audi will happily offer the RS6 GT with RS sport suspension plus (with Dynamic Ride Control) or adaptive air suspension.
The wild wagon has Continental Sport Contact 7 tires measuring 285/30 R22. Audi claims they provide better grip in the wet and dry, reduce understeer at high speeds, and shorten braking distances.
