The 3,0-litre twin-turbo diesel produces 230kW and 650Nm in standard guise, but it plus configuration it puts out a nice 250kW and 800Nm of torque.

The 0 to 100km/h acceleration time takes 5,1 seconds and the top-speed is limited to 250km/h. Audi claims a combined fuel consumption figure of just 6,6l/100km.

In terms of additional exterior kit, it comes with 21-inch alloys, gloss black inserts, diffuser and a new roof spoiler.
