The RS6 Legacy Edition is presented as a tribute to the V8, and ABT makes it clear from the outset that this is tied to the closing chapter of the V8 era. Limited to 200 vehicles and marked accordingly as “1 of 200,” the RS6-LE positions itself as a high-performance sports car derived from the RS6 platform, but developed further with ABT’s own technical and visual signature.
Exterior
Visually, the Legacy Edition is uncompromisingly sporty from front to rear, with visible carbon components shaping much of its identity. The carbon front bonnet insert stands out immediately, not only setting an accent but also supporting heat dissipation for the performance-upgraded V8. The front lip, front skirt inserts with enlarged air intake grilles, wheel arch ventilation, mirror cap attachments, side skirts, rear skirt insert, and the clearly offset rear wing are all executed in carbon, many in carbon gloss finish.
Specific RS6-LE elements include the ABT front lip with RS6-LE logo and ABT front blades in carbon gloss, carbon gloss front skirt inserts with optimized airflow, a carbon gloss bonnet insert, and front wheelhouse ventilation in black gloss featuring the “1 of 200” emblem badge. Carbon gloss mirror caps, side skirts with ABT decorative inserts in black gloss, a carbon gloss rear skirt insert with an RS6-LE badge, a carbon gloss rear trim strip, and a rear wing with ABT aero blades complete the aerodynamic package.
The stainless steel silencer system integrates 4 × 102-mm ABT end-pipe trims, and the ABT exhaust system is specified as stainless steel with 2 × ABT double end pipes Ø 102 mm.
Interior
Inside, high-quality materials define the character. Micro-fibre fabric Dinamica, described as suede-like, is coated with Teflon and is water-repellent, flame-resistant, and extremely robust, while using less water and recycled materials in production. Dinamica is applied to shift paddles with the ABT logo, dashboard covers, seat frame covers, and entry area refinement.
The ABT steering wheel retains the standard wheel’s full sensor system and features a discrete red 12 o’clock marker. RS6-LE logos appear on headrests and floor mats, while the ABT start-stop switch cap, ABT boot mat, ABT integrated entrance lights, and door sill trim marked “1 of 200” underline the limited nature.

Conclusion
With its defined output figures, visible carbon construction, and clearly marked limitation to 200 units, the ABT RS6 Legacy Edition frames itself as a structured farewell to the V8 chapter, shaped through ABT’s technical and material approach rather than a simple cosmetic reinterpretation.
