Mansory Audi RS6 Avant P1100 Performance

Another Mansory Audi RS6 Avant, here in black, with an aero body package (front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser, rear roof spoiler...), a carbon fiber hood, a sports exhaust system, 22-inch wheels with turquoise accents and a new brake system with turquoise calipers

Mansory is probably best known for its exterior styling. The bold and brash looks can often rub people the wrong way (including us on multiple occasions). Appearance parts aren't the only things Mansory makes, though. It also provides performance upgrades for a variety of vehicles, and the shop has created some machines with mad power. Among them is the Audi RS6, for which Mansory offers three different levels of performance upgrades already, and it's about to release another.

The top performance package Mansory lists for the RS6 on its main website is a Stage 3 kit, which brings the German wagon's impressive 621 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque to a wild 986 horses and 922 pound-feet. As shown on its Facebook page, though, Mansory one-upped itself. It doesn't have a specific package name, nor does it have details on the components included, but it has the numbers. While the torque is unchanged from the Stage 3 package, horsepower has climbed about another 100 to 1,085. That comes to 1,100 PS, which is proclaimed on the fender vents.

We presume that this new RS6 uses all the bits of the Stage 3 kit with perhaps some other small additions or software tweaks. That kit, in addition to a custom tuned ECU, features upgraded turbochargers, exhaust downpipes without catalytic converters, air-to-water intercoolers, and freer-flowing intake manifolds and piping. That package also removes the speed limiter, and Mansory claims a top speed of 202 mph. We wouldn't be surprised if this new version will go just a bit faster.

For better or worse, Mansory still spent plenty of time on the exterior and interior of this RS6. There's no shortage of carbon fiber to be found. It makes up the hood, front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, fender vents, rear wing, and many, many little trim pieces. They're also made of "forged" carbon fiber, and while the shapes might not be to everyone's taste, the quality of the parts is evident. Speaking of the shape, every piece is sharply angled, and Mansory even created crisp-cornered exhaust tips to match. It sits on 22-inch forged wheels, with almost glowing turquoise brake calipers.

And what awaits inside is…turquoise. Almost entirely. Mansory didn’t just add accent stitching or seat inserts—it went all in. Nearly every surface is wrapped in bright blue-green leather, broken only by carbon trim, glass, and the occasional strip of white hide. It’s the kind of interior that makes you wonder whether subtlety was ever considered, then immediately dismissed. Illuminated door logos and a “starry sky” headliner complete the experience, because of course they do.

Those calipers and some other highlights such as the front canards, accentuate the almost solid turquoise interior. We're not exaggerating, either. Except for carbon fiber trim pieces, screens, and most of the vents, every surface in this RS6 is wrapped in bright turquoise leather. There are a few strips of white leather and piping in between, but everything else is a bright blue-green. If that wasn't enough, Mansory even added illuminated logos in the doors, and a starlight headliner.

This RS6 appears to be a regular RS6 based on the design of the front bumper and fenders. On Mansory's website, however, the company doesn't just list that wagon, but also the RS6 GT. The company doesn't list any actual parts or packages for it, but it certainly seems to imply that it intends to offer modifications for the special edition.

As a reminder, the RS6 GT was an extremely limited-run version of Audi's super wagon with just 660 units globally. Fewer than 100 came to the US. It was also the first version of the RS6 to get the now standard 621-horsepower powertrain. Audi gave it unique fenders with big vents and a more aggressive front bumper. It sounds like just the kind of car Mansory would want to modify, if not die-hard Audi fans. If Mansory does do something with one, we'll be sure to let you know.
