Mere hours after the first round of Audi RS6 Avant info and photos landed on the web, Audi released all the official deets. We covered the essentials for you last night, but if you follow the jump, you can now read the press release in full. There are a few new shots added to the photo gallery as well, so click and enjoy. In case you missed it the first time around, here's the RS6 Avant in brief:

580-horsepower/480 lb-ft V10 TFSI
0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-124 mph in 14.9 seconds
Top speed of 155 mph (electronically governed)
17 mpg combined-cycle
quattro permanent four-wheel-drive
Unique bodywork, interior trim
Up to 58.6 cubic ft of cargo space
Optional ceramic composite brakes
6-speed tiptronic
Exclusive new colors
Available in Europe April 2008

And here we thought the regular V10 FSI, as seen in the S6 and S8, was awesome. Silly us.
