2003 Audi RS6 Avant (C5) - 4.2 V8 Bi-Turbo Quattro - Full History - Modern Classic
The Parts Hangar Ltd is proud to offer this stunning Audi RS6 Avant C5 one of the original and most iconic high-performance "sleeper" estates ever produced.
Developed by Quattro GmbH (now Audi Sport) to rival the BMW E39 M5 and Mercedes E55 AMG, the C5 RS6 combined brutal performance, understated styling, and everyday practicality in a way very few cars have managed since.
Powered by the legendary Cosworth-developed 4.2 litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing around 450bhp, paired with Audi's renowned Quattro four-wheel-drive system, this RS6 delivers effortless performance, immense grip, and genuine supercar pace whilst still being practical enough for family or long-distance use.
This example has covered 138,000 miles and benefits from a comprehensive full service history with a substantial supporting history file including invoices, receipts, MOT certificates, and maintenance records. The car has clearly been cherished and maintained properly throughout its life, including servicing and work carried out by respected Audi specialists including Victoria Audi London.
