Sportec calls it the Noble Power limousine. A more appropriate name might be the T-Rex in stilettos. This is the RS700 which is introduced to the world via the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show by specialist tuner Sportec.

The RS700 is what Sportec wishes Audi would have done to the RS6 in the first place. The 5.0-litre V10 engine's capacity was retained but some changes were made. The ECU was reprogrammed and new high-performance catalysts with higher flow rate fitted to the exhaust system.

The engine now makes more than 700hp (522kW) and torque is a huge 800Nm. Standard figures are 580 hp (426 kW) and 650Nm respectively. The large quattro AWD-driven sedan takes the 0 -100km/h sprint in 4 seconds while 0 - 200km/h takes 12 seconds. Maximum speed is limited to 310km/h.

The light alloy 20-inch wheels come with 265/30 tyres that are suitable for high-performance purposes. The suspension system which can be lowered by 30 millimetres along with the rear diffuser give the car much of the downforce it needs to handle better. Inside Sportec fitted aluminium accessories like the pedals and footrests among other things.

Sportec RS700: Noble Power Limousine

Not only the wishes of Porsche Drivers are fulfilled at Sportec from Höri - also Audi Driver can help themselves out of the program of the this noble high-tech forge.

Sportec offers from now on a complete refining program for Audi RS6.

The main point consists in the increased performance of the 5.0 litre V10 Biturbo aggregate. For that purpose the Swiss specialists exchange the original catalysts by high-performance catalysts with higher flow rate.

As an option the originally installed exhaust system can be substituted by a Sportec high-performance exhaust system with four ø76mm tail pipes and sportive sound. Hereafter the new components of the vehicle are tuned in the Sportec 4-wheel test rig. In combination with the new programming of the engine control unit the RS6 reaches a maximum output of more than 700 HP. The torque increases up to fulminate 800 NM. As a result the 4-wheel limousine sprints to tempo 100 in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h are achieved after only 12.0 seconds and then reaches the electronically regulated maximum speed of more than 310 km/h.

In order to keep so much power safely on the ground, Sportec offers a lowering set which lowers the body by 30 millimetres perfectly harmonized with the electronic chassis. This breathtaking demonstration of engine force is transferred to the 265/30 tyres which are mounted on special light 22 inches Sportec Mono/10 rims. Beside this, the design of the Mono/10 lets the RS6 appear even more sporty - and gives to the overall optics of the limousine more easiness which is complemented by the Carbon front spoiler lip and the Carbon rear diffuser.

Sportec impresses with noble aluminium accessories for the interior. This is accented in form of aluminium pedal sets and aluminium footrests.

And to be honest, these are to big. 21" would have been better with a 5.5cm lowered chassis. On these pics, the car likes like an Allroad. Otherwise, pretty nice as often with Sportec.
