A few days ago we published shots of a more extreme RS 6 Avant spied testing. With manufacturer test days going on at the Nürburgring, the car has popped up again and this time video was captures by the Automotive Mike YouTube channel. Watch it below with the volume up.

When this RS spec C8.5 test mule was spied the first time, we labeled it RS 7, and for good reason. Audi began shifting even alphanumeric nomenclatures to its electrics with the e-tron facelift that took on the name Q8. Factory sources have confirmed the strategy, one that'll see the MLB Evo B10-based A4 ICE replacement become A5 while an electric equivalent remains A4. With an A6 e-tron based on the brand's new PPE electric architecture...

Further evidence of an updated version of today's Audi RS 6 Avant just popped up yesterday doing manufacturer testing at the Nürburgring in the form of this test mule. Though somewhat masked by camouflage wrap, changes are obvious including augmented flares, bigger rear upper spoiler and freshened front and rear bumper are plainly seen.
We reported recently on rumors of a hotter RS Avant in the spirit of the RS 6 GTO concept from a few...

Audi revealed the higher-performance RS 6 performance just a few months ago, so recently in fact that it's just gone on sale in Europe and has yet to drop Stateside (even though it is coming). Now, rumors out of executives on hand at a recent Audi Sport focused event confirm the suspicion of an even hotter RS 6 variant inspired by the RS 6 GTO concept.
Here's what we know. First up, there's the RS 6 performance. That car gets unique wheels first se...

Here's an interesting test mule spied by our photographer sources in the Alps showing what appears to be the upcoming sedan version of Audi's mid-sized RS cars. Expect it to be called RS 7, though there's no RS 6 nor RS 7 sedan on sale currently.
Though hotter "performance" versions of the C8 RS 6 and RS 7 models have been shown, neither have gone through full mid-lifecycle freshening just yet. This car could represent such a product improvement (P...
