Audi RS e-tron GT Avant Rendered in AI

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="96322"] We’d heard a credible rumor once that an Avant version of the e-tron GT / RS e-tron GT had been in the initial planning. Porsche certainly got there with the platform-sharing Taycan Sport Turismo, but thus far Audi hasn’t shown any in kind addition. And given we’re nearly at the mid-lifecycle refreshening of the Taycan and e-tron GT, it’s probably safe to assume an e-tron GT Avant isn’t coming… and that’s a shame. Sinc...

A6 e-tron Avant Spied Testing Nearly without Camo

[gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file" ids="95898"] We’ve known the A6 e-tron is coming, along with Avant body style, for quite sometime now. So, while seeing an A6 e-tron Avant test mule is always interesting, seeing pics of one nearly without camouflage is even more interesting as it gives us a much better idea of what the final product will look like.

Find of the Day: 1993 C4 Audi S4 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="94927"] photos: AutoScout24.com When the Audi S4 showed up in 1991, it was based on the C4 100. After 1994, the 100 name was dropped in favor of A6. The C4 S4 became the S6 and the S4 name disappeared for a couple of years. Way back when I didn't know much about Audi, I was so confused that I thought the Ur-S4 and the Ur-S6 were the same car...I was wrong and right. Anyway, enough of my rambling. This is a Ur-S4 Avant and here's the ad: [galler...

Spy Photo: Audi RS 6 Avant Audi sport

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="93780"] Audi Sport is working on a hotter version of the RS 6 Avant, possible as a final good bye. This more hardcore model looks even meaner than the “regular” RS 6 Avant and has a different front bumper with a lower lip, fender vents and a bigger rear spoiler that we almost could call a wing. The big oval exhaust pipes are still there but the rear bumper around them including the diffusor looks re-designed. We can also see some of the Audi ...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="93491"] We have some new photos showing the all new Audi A5 Avant. You likely also already know that next-generation internal combustion offerings will go for odd numbers (A3, A5, A7, etc.) while all-electric e-tron EV versions will go for even numbers (A2, A4, A6, etc.). These new photos are the most revealing up to date due to the lack of camouflage. There is some smaller amount of tape around the front lights, the logo in the grille up, and at...

Spy Photo: Audi A6 Avant e-tron

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="91778"] Audi is not going to let BMW have the market for the electric premium wagons alone with the i5 Touring so it’s only natural to bring the A6 e-tron as a long-roof as well. The Audi A6 Avant e-tron was pre-viewed by the beautiful A6 Avant e-tron Concept back in March 2022 so we knew it was coming.

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88631"] photos: Jacob Lauck Ask any Audi enthusiast what their favorite body style is and most would say the Avant (totally unscientific fact not backed up by anything other than my own personal opinion as a wagon enthusiast).
