We have about three hours to go before the big Audi debut announced by Audi USA. And it really is the all-new RS6 Avant, not the RS Q8 we saw earlier, though that's probably coming next month.
Imagine that: a hot Audi Avant coming out in America and possibly going on sale there. We're keeping our fingers crossed for this one. And since we probably have the full photo gallery which Audi will release after the stock markets close, let's see if this is worth investing in.
Design-wise, this is one epic machine, clearly the best wagon design in the world right now. Sorry Porsche and AMG! Since we've been looking at prototypes for over a year, we immediately know what's been changed over the standard A6 and S6.
At the front, honeycomb mesh bulges out from the Singleframe grille, while a narrow slit has been cut over the top (probably not functional). The side intakes are much bigger and shaped like a triangle, while the chin splitter and other aero blades are a brushed silver color that goes nicely with this satin paint finish. That's one expensive-looking Audi!
Frech wheel designs, back by performance ceramic brakes fill much winder fenders. The rear is, oddly, one of the least appealing angles, as you can tell the large black grille is fake. But the RS6 should make up for this with a fantastic V8 soundtrack which is accompanied by an optional Audi Sport exhaust system.
The interior changes are quite subtle - a D-shaped steering wheel, some carbon for the console and honeycomb quilting on what looks like the S line seats. There's nothing to set it apart, like the little displays in AMG wheels and BMW's M shifter or red shifters. Still, it's an amazing cabin with probably the best screens right now.
According to media leaks, the beast makes 605 HP and 800 Nm from the predictable 4.0-liter V8 and will do the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds.
