Highlights
- Japanese import with just 63,699 km
- Stage 1 performance map increasing output to 630hp
- Aftermarket Milltek exhaust system
- Fully loaded specification with sunroof and heated leather bucket seats
- MOT valid until June 2026
The Appeal
The Audi RS6 5.0 V10 TFSI was, upon release, the most powerful machine Audi had ever built, and positioned the car ahead of its closest competitors, the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. In the battle of the German marques, these truly were the big guns, capable of 572bhp and remarkable speeds.
This particular example benefits from a Stage 1 performance map, boosting that already impressive plant to 630hp, complemented by an aftermarket Milltek exhaust system that enhances both performance and sound. This 2008 Japanese import appears in smart condition for its age with relatively low mileage of just 63,699 km, and boasts a remarkably full option and spec list.
