Abt Sportline has announced a new tuning program for the Audi A6 Avant.

Looking tastefully restrained, the model has an aerodynamic body kit with a front spoiler, side skirts, a rear bumper insert and a tailgate-mounted spoiler. There's also a four-tailpipe exhaust system and a variety of wheels in sizes from 19- to 21-inches.

Under the hood, the 3.0-liter TDI engine can be tuned to produce 240 PS (177 kW / 237 hp) and 300 PS (221 kW / 296 hp) - increases of 36 PS (26 kW / 35 hp) and 55 PS (40 kW / 54 hp), respectively.

With the 3.0-liter TFSI, it can be modified to develop 420 PS (309 kW / 414 hp) instead of the standard 300 PS (221 kW / 296 hp). In this state of tune, the wagon accelerates from 0-100 km/h in five seconds flat.
