Audi RS6 GTO concept car pays homage to the Audi 90 Quattro GTO race car which raced in the US-based IMSA series for 1989. That iconic race car has a successful if not short existence, winning 7 out of the 12 races it competed in until the powers that be at Audi decided to shelf the project. It featured a fearsome 2.2L 5-cylinder engine with a giant KKK turbocharger bolted on to produce 710 hp whilst sitting in a tubular steel spaceframe and looking like a low, mean racer that could eat up any race track thrown at it.
For 2020, the tremendously fast RS6 family wagon has been tweaked in a project by apprentices at Audi’s Neckarsulm factory, creating the RS6 GTO concept. Special treatments include huge white center-locking turbofan wheels with wider wheel arches to house them, a large ear spoiler finished in red, side exit exhausts and of course a red, silver and black livery. Also included are bespoke side skirts, front splitter and rear diffuser, full roll-cage with six-point race harness and racing seats.
