For many years, Audi RS 6 sedans have been the desire of Audi Sport enthusiasts. The last hot four-door version of this car was the C6 generation, which was produced between 2008 and 2011 and had an even-firing V10 under the hood.
In line with the company’s new naming scheme, only it will be called the Audi RS 7 rather than the RS 6. Yes, it will also be offered as an Avant, which is just another way of saying station wagon in Audi lingo. For the four-ring brand to disregard its fan base for that long is rather impressive. But it appears that the future generation will actually see the development of such a device.
However, some enthusiasts have spent their entire life savings converting the current S6 Sedan into a four-door RS 6, even though Audi Sport looks to be preparing it with a fat body kit, reworked chassis, sportier interior compared to the regular A7 and a plug-in hybrid V8 supposedly with over 700 horsepower to rival BMW’s M5 (Sedan and Touring).
Over the years, we have written about several such rides, and they were all fantastic. But not too long ago, globalcartizen posted one of the most surreal interpretations of this model on Instagram. Regretfully, this is a Fantasy Land invention created by computer graphics. However, we believe it would be worthy of a place on the route. It should drive identically like its RS 6 Avant sibling, after all, and it looks amazing.
The C8 generation Audi RS 6 Sedan is seen in the unofficial renderings in a striking shade of green. Its design appears to have been influenced by the Audi RS 6 Avant Performance. With a rear quattro sport differential, dynamic all-wheel steering, and an enhanced top speed of 174 mph (280 kph), an actual one would therefore have the RS Dynamic Package fitted.
The optional Audi RS Dynamic Plus Package adds carbon ceramic brakes and raises the top speed of the vehicle to 190 mph (305 kph). Less soundproofing has been added to the deck so that drivers can hear the roar of the twin-turbo V8. In addition, the steering has been improved over the standard RS 6 Avant, and a new self-locking differential is featured.
With 627 pound-feet (850 Nm) of torque and 621 horsepower (630 ps/463 kW), the V8 powers the RS 6 Avant Performance to 60 mph (97 kph) in just 3.3 seconds. A hypothetical RS 6 Sedan Performance would therefore be one-tenth of a second faster, or almost three-tenths of a second quicker than the current BMW M5 Sedan, due to its somewhat reduced weight.
