The legendary Audi RS6 will not disappear. It has to be replaced by an electric car

Audi is slowly but surely approaching a time when it will no longer develop any more cars with internal combustion engines. The Audi Sport sports division must also get used to this. While in the standard models the RS versions figure practically across the entire offer except the smallest A1, in the case of electric cars the e-tron GT is the only representative of the RS for the time being.

However, this should change in the future, because another powerful electric car is looming on the horizon. Audi recently introduced the A6 e-tron concept, which is set to hit the market in 2023 as an electric sedan and station wagon. It will not be a successor to the conventional A6 yet, they will be sold in parallel for a few years, but it will certainly replace this management icon in the future.

According to information from the British Autocar website, it is already clear from inside the carmaker that Audi Sport will also focus on this car – more precisely on its station wagon variant. This will create an electrical replacement for the RS6 Avant.

The new sharp electric car is to continue the tradition of powerful large station wagons that Audi has held since 2002, when it introduced the first RS6 with the C5 generation. The standard version, like the one with a powerful electric motor, is to be built on the premium shared PPE platform, and the design of the cars will be more similar than we are used to with the current A6 and RS6.

At present, all other information about the sharp electric station wagon from Audi is only in the realm of speculation, but various data have already appeared on the Internet, which say that the RS6 E-tron can have a power of 600 horsepower, which would compete with dignity. the current model. What is certain is that Audi Sport will have to introduce additional RS versions for new electric cars to meet the high demand for top versions of Audi models.
