The real reason we are all here is the RS 6 Avant GT, which has a V8 delivering an impressive 463 kW and 850 N.m of torque, allowing it to reach 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h. Not just any RS 6, the model came in Arkona White with accents in Audi Sport’s signature black, grey, and red, along with high-gloss white alloy wheels.
The auction, held at Cavalli Estate on 7 November, brought together enthusiasts, collectors, and philanthropists. The star of the evening was the final edition RS 6 Avant GT, a vehicle that epitomizes Audi’s commitment to engineering excellence. The event also highlighted a broader purpose, dedicating part of the proceeds to the Kutlwanong Centre to drive social impact.
