Fastest vehicle on ice

What to remember

An Audi RS 6 set the fastest certified speed on ice. On 9 March 2013, Janne Laitinen drove it to 335.7 km/h (208.6 mph), a mark certified by the FIA.

The RS 6 is the high-performance version of the Audi A6 range, built since 2002 by Audi Sport GmbH, the performance arm of Audi AG, itself part of the Volkswagen Group. The first two generations came as both Avant (estate) and saloon; the third and fourth are Avant only.

On ice, no vehicle has gone faster than Laitinen's run in the RS 6.
