Drivers who want more practicality can opt for the RS6 estate, while those who prefer style can choose the RS7 four-door coupe. It's a matter of taste or needs. Meanwhile, if you want to increase the engine power of these cars, StartLine Motors offers identical options.
Both models (C7/4G RS6 and 4G8 RS7) are fitted with an identical 4.0-litre, V-shaped, 8-cylinder petrol engine with twin turbos. Both cars have the same standard output of 550 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque.
The powertrain is also the same, with a Quattro all-wheel drive system and an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. This combination enables both the RS6 and RS7 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Both cars debuted in 2013 and their performance today still allows them to be very fast against the latest models. But with the help of StartLine Motors, the RS6 and RS7 can be transformed into some of the fastest cars in the world.
To achieve a significant power increase, these models only need to undergo a first stage of power enhancement, which reprograms the engine management computer and uses factory resources. This work increases the power output of the RS6 and RS7 engines to 650 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque.
The second stage modifications increase engine power to 720 horsepower and torque up to 1000 Nm. To achieve these power levels, the air intake and exhaust system will need to be modified and the cooling of the air entering the turbines will need to be improved.
The third stage of the StartLine Motors power enhancement package provides 800-900 horsepower and 1100 Nm of torque. In this case, new, higher performance turbines and higher capacity fuel pumps will need to be added to the list of modifications.
Finally, for those who want to exploit the full potential of the RS6 and RS7, there is a fourth stage of power increase, which, depending on budget, allows for 1,000-1,200 horsepower and 1,100-1,200 Nm of torque.
If the customer needs 1,000 horsepower, then the gearbox reinforcement is sufficient and the standard engine assemblies are robust enough. For maximum performance, more modifications are required, both to the engine (connecting rods, liners, pistons) and to the powertrain (front and rear reduction gears, half axles).
In order to increase the power of the RS6 or RS7 engine, StartLine Motors has carried out a series of tests on racetracks to test not only the efficiency of the modifications, but also their robustness. All modifications are carried out in the StartLine Motors workshop, and experienced technicians will increase the car's power output according to the personal needs of the customer.
