The Audi RS6 4.2 Biturbo 480hp is a 4.2L turbocharged petrol engine producing 480 BHP and 560 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 520 BHP and 725 Nm — a gain of around 40 BHP (8%) and 165 Nm (29%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as moderate, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
