Audi RS6 Performance vs Porsche Panamera Turbo – Acceleration
In this video you will watch an Audi RS6 Performance vs Porsche Panamera Turbo Acceleration
Audi RS6 Avant performance
The Audi RS 6 Avant performance: built for drivers who want more. More power. More dynamics. More exclusivity. More adrenaline. Even more agile thanks to the reduced power-to-weight ratio. Even more powerful thanks to the overboost function. Even more control with Audi drive select. The vehicle’s character changes at a push of a button. And so does the performance. Deeply impressive values. With hardly any room for improvement.
Powerhouse: the twin-turbocharged 4.0 litre V8 FSI engine with 445 kW and maximum torque of up to 750 Nm with overboost guarantees truly staggering performance. The figures agree: 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds. Top speed of up to 305 km/h on request. Efficient too: with Audi cylinder on demand and start-stop system, fuel consumption and emissions are dramatically reduced. The 8-speed tiptronic transmission delivers rapid gear changes at optimum shift points, for an incredibly responsive and efficient driving experience.
The muscular lines of the Audi RS 6 Avant performance draw back from the distinctive Audi Singleframe with honeycomb structure, signalling superiority. Characteristic signs for experts: the details in matt titanium look. Such as the air inlet duct with quattro logo, offset by the 21-inch aluminium wheels in the same finish. The Ascari blue, metallic paint finish emphasises the performance statement. Even when stationary. And most certainly while driving.
An aesthetic of pure sportiness: the interior. The RS sport seats in Valcona leather and honeycomb stitching offer excellent lateral support, even in the most spirited of driving situations. First-class materials. Perfect workmanship. Down to the last detail. Such as the inlays in carbon atlas, crisp instrumentation and tactile interfaces. Or the RS multifunction sport steering wheel with gear shift paddles. All culminate in a truly dramatic driving environment

Porsche Panamera Turbo
While the Panamera S and 4S eschew V8 power for a more frugal twin-turbo V6 engine, the Turbo retains its force-fed 4.8-litre V8. Its power is up, too, boosted from 493 to 513bhp, while peak torque remains at 516lb ft. While this results in improved performance figures – 0-60 now dipping below the 4.0sec mark and the top speed climbing to 189mph – fuel economy and CO2 emissions have benefitted from the update, too. They are now rated at 27.7mpg and 239g/km respectively.
The economy gains are assisted by new technology for the PDK twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox; as well as its traditional seven speeds, intermediate gears between them increase efficiency when travelling below 50mph. It’s a curious technology already seen in the 911 Turbo S, the gearbox shifting up earlier than it usually could but without stalling the engine, slipping the clutch to bring the revs up to a workable engine speed. The stop/start system engages from 4mph during deceleration rather than waiting for the car to come to a halt and there’s a coasting function, which allows the engine to run at idle during some cruising speeds.
The springs and dampers have been tweaked to boost comfort, while improved steering box mounts are said to provide a more direct response. Otherwise, tweaks are kept to the usual nip’n’tuck for headlights, taillights and body creases, while there’s a debut for Porsche Car Connect, which allows remote operation of some of the car’s feaures. Highlights include the ability to find the car when you’ve forgotten where it’s parked, turning the heating on before you get in and being able to lock the engine if you think someone’s nabbed the keys.
