Audi RS6 Avant: More Aggressive Model Spotted at the Nurburgring

The Audi RS6 Avant is currently undergoing testing at the Nürburgring in preparation for its latest update. A spy video captures the high-performance wagon in action on the track as well as on the public roads near the circuit.

The updated RS6 Avant showcases a more aggressive design compared to the current model. Notably, the front fenders have been widened, featuring openings at the rear section just ahead of the doors. These openings are likely functional and could contribute to brake cooling or improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics.

Additionally, there are several minor revisions to the front fascia. The bottom opening now extends to the intakes in the corners.

The side sills have also been restyled, displaying a more intricate design.

At the rear, a larger wing is attached to the back of the roof. The rear bumper has been reshaped, while the presence of the oval-shaped exhausts remains.

Next-Gen Audi RS7 Spotted Disguised as S6 Sedan with Wide Fenders and Unusual Exhaust

New spy images have emerged of a heavily camouflaged Audi sedan undergoing testing. Upon closer inspection, the photos reveal the presence of wide fenders, raising questions about the upcoming model’s identity, particularly considering Audi’s plans to reposition its lineup.

Beneath the camouflage, the vehicle appears to be a standard Audi S6. However, the wider fenders hint at the possibility of a more powerful drivetrain lurking beneath the sheet metal. While some sources speculate that this may be the next-generation RS7, it’s worth noting that Audi currently only offers the RS7 as a liftback, whereas the car observed in the spy shots appears to be a sedan.

Next-Gen Audi S5 Sportback Spotted for the First Time

The Audi A4 is being retired and will be replaced by the A5 model. This transition will also affect the performance versions of the car, including the S and RS variants. As a result, the A4/S4 Sedan will be discontinued, leaving only the A5/S5 models for the next generation. Recently, spy images have emerged showing the upcoming S5 in Sportback form, with its final production body and lights.

Although we have already seen the S5 Avant (wagon) being tested multiple times, this is the first time we are witnessing the Sportback version of the S5. It is still uncertain whether Audi will continue using the “Sportback” suffix for this model or simply call it the S5. The prototype appears to have a tailgate rather than a traditional trunk lid, indicating that the conventional sedan might soon be phased out.

Watch Audi TT RS Roadster Hit Its 173-MPH Top Speed In Autobahn Run

It wasn’t much of a shock when Audi announced that the TT was dead after 2023 in the US. The brand’s boss suggested in 2019 that the two-door model’s future was already in doubt. The car retains the original’s sporty quirkiness and packs quite the performance punch as it prepares to leave the automotive stage. A new video captures the Audi TT RS Roadster reaching its top speed on the German Autobahn.

The Audi TT RS Roadster uses the brand’s turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine. It makes 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque that is pumped to all four wheels. The convertible can reach 62 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. It has an official top speed of 155 miles per hour but an option can increase that to 173 mph. However, the video shows the speedometer reading a bit more than that – 290 kph, which is 180 mph.
