The first official images of the new RS6 sedan were released last week, now Audi has released a sweet video from its studio detailing the beautiful styling of the new model. The front end remains the same as the RS6 Avant which debuted last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but the rear end of the sedan reminds us of the new B8 Audi A4 and the recently facelifted regular A6 sedan.

Spec wise it’s no different from the RS6 Avant, both feature a 5.0-liter Twin-Turbo V10 engine producing 580 hp (426 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque, mated to a six-speed tiptronic automatic transmission system and power is passed to all four wheels via Audi’s permanent all-wheel drive system.

Performance for the RS6 sedan has increased from its Avant sibling, with power-to-weight ratio of just 3.4kg per HP, the RS6 sedan sprints from sprints from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds, shading an extra 0.1 seconds off the Avant’s time. The top speed is electronically limited at 250km/h (155mph) although consumers have an option to raise this to 280 km/h (174 mph).
