MFK has tuned the Audi RS6 to give the station wagon a more sporty appearance and larger power band. They were able to boost the 4.2-liter V8 engine that originally produces 450 hp. After the engine tuning, the Audi RS6 now boasts 520 hp which is quite impressive for the station wagon. For the exterior they installed a new front spoiler with larger air vents to bring more fresh air to the V8 under the hood. In the four corners are CC-Line 3-part wheels painted gloss black measuring 20×10.5 and wrapped with Dunlop high performance tires measuring 285/25/20. The huge wheel set definitely improves the handling on the MFK Audi RS6.
