The Audi RS6 is a highly impressive car that has managed to balance performance, style, and practicality, making it a rare enthusiast car that is also a commercial success. With its 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, it’s already a formidable vehicle, outperforming many high-end SUVs in terms of speed, comfort, and space. However, the German tuning company MTM has taken the RS6 to the next level with its new Pangaea GT edition, which boasts an astonishing 1,100 horsepower and 885 lb-ft of torque.
The Pangaea GT is a limited edition model, with only 25 units to be produced, and features a custom racing interior, lightweight carbon fiber body, and aggressive design elements such as splitters, scoops, and flared arches. The result is a car that can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 2.6 seconds. While some may argue that the Pangaea GT is an exercise in excess, with its Bugatti-like power output and over-the-top design, it’s hard to deny the appeal of a car that combines the practicality of a wagon with the performance of a supercar.
That being said, the Pangaea GT may be a bit too extreme for some tastes, with its dramatic bodywork and interior crossing the line into bad taste. However, a toned-down version of this car, with around 800 horsepower and more subtle design elements, could be a compelling option for those looking for a high-performance wagon that’s still usable on a daily basis. Such a car would be reminiscent of a modern DTM racer, with its perfect blend of power, handling, and practicality. Ultimately, the Pangaea GT may be a niche product, but it’s a testament to the versatility and potential of the Audi RS6 platform, and a reminder that even the most unlikely cars can be transformed into something truly extraordinary.
