Between April and September 2004, there was a final limited run of an even higher-performance RS6 named the Audi RS6 Plus. This had an increased engine power to 470bhp at 6000-6400rpm and was developed and manufactured in the UK by Cosworth Technology. The additional performance was achieved with a new engine control unit and two additional coolant radiators behind the side-mounted intercoolers. Official performance figures indicate the 0 - 100kph (62.1mph) as 4.4 seconds. The RS6 Plus carried on to reach 124mph in 20 seconds with an official top speed of 174mph. It came with Dynamic Ride Control as standard and also included a no-cost option of

'Sports Suspension Plus' which lowered the standard sports suspension by a further ten millimeters over the standard RS6. The brakes now included cross-drilled discs. The wheels were only available in 19-inch '5-arm design' alloys, finished in 'anthracite' (dark grey). The car was available only as an estate and was sold only in European markets. Visual differences for the RS6 Plus included the 'black optic pack' which consisted of black finish to the framing of the radiator grill, exterior window trims, tailgate lower trim, roof rails, and exhaust tailpipes. It quickly sold out once it was released. The last three digits of the Vehicle Identification Number are reproduced on a plaque inside the car, displayed on the centre console.
