The all-new Audi RS6 has been one of the most frequently rendered cars on the internet, but we didn't share most of the studies we found because all of them looked the same. An RS6 pickup truck, now that's something you don't see every day.
We looked long and hard but couldn't find any connection between Audi and pickup trucks. A few people have converted the A4 into a ute, and every few years, somebody thinks of putting a bed on the Q7 via Photoshop. But nobody ever wanted a go-fast RS6-based pickup.
It's a bad idea anyway, to tear up a $120,000 vehicle that's already practical and built to high German industry standards. But you have no such concerns in the digital world. And it's not like Hugo Silva even cut up a digital RS6.
No, the rendering is based on the Volkswagen Amarok pickup. Like anything wearing the VW badge, this is a popular tuner's car in Europe. We've even seen people dropping in some V8s, so the RS6 4-liter bi-turbo motor might even fit.
But because of the tall, boxy greenhouse, the face swap also ends up looking out of proportion. It kind of reminds us of the Startech Range Rover pick, but with bottomed-out suspension.
To really sell the race truck look, Hugo also opted to make his own widebody kit going on top of the Amarok body and the Audi face swap. And to tie everything together, we have brown metallic paint with a hint of orange shimmer.
We've seen our fair share of low-riding trucks to know what's needed for this crazy stance to exist. You'd have to completely strip down the Amarok, modify the frame, and "box in" the fenders. The job might actually cost more than chopping a hole into the back of a real RS6.
