We have just received this set of spy shots picturing the next Audi RS6 Avant during a winter test on the cold roads of Sweden: the model is wearing very little camouflage and uses wider wheel arches hiding a larger track. The final version is expected to use a similar front fascia, but shape and size of the integrated air-intakes might not be the definitive ones. Besides, we would expect some LED technology to appear in the fog-light area, and we wouldn’t be surprise to see some CFRP bit here in there as in the case of Audi RS3. As for the rear end, the new RS6 Avant might end up replacing that double pair of exhaust piped with on pair of oval-shaped cans as in the current version of the model, while other subtle cosmetic changes might also be in the cards. We also notice big ceramic brakes underneath A8 wheels, which is a further confirmation of this car’s RS status.
La new Audi RS6 Avant will probably be equipped with a 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 delivering 580 hp, meaning the same output of the model it will replace. It should be the same engine that - in different power steps - will be used for S8, S7, S6 and the recently unveiled V8 range of the Bentley Continental GT. The new model is expected to emerge in its definitive form by the end of this year.
