Oh, God, how do I love spies – thanks to them we can spend so much time in discussing and arguing about new model and its technical filling. This time we can speak about RS6 which was tested recently at the Nürburgring.
As is the general trend with German muscle, the new model will likely downsize back to a twin-turbo eight. The first RS6 packed a twin-turbo V8 good for 444 horsepower, and the second-generation model had a 571-horse V10. Output is likely to hover around that of its predecessor, trading two cylinders for as many turbo spools.
As with past models, the new RS6 is likely to come first in Avant wagon form before the sedan comes along soon thereafter. Whether any RS6 models make it Stateside, however, remains to be seen, but we can certainly hope.
