Revealed: Audi RS6 Avant

Images of Audi’s new super-wagon has appeared ahead of the car’s unveiling at next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show. According to the guys over at Jalopnik, the new RS6 will be sporting a V10 engine with FSI technology and two turbos bolted on.
We recently reported that leaked vehicle chassis codes for the new Audi RS6 specced the output from its twin-turbo V10 engine at 571hp (426kW). However, new information from a source at Audi has put this figure in doubt. The reliable source claims that the 571hp will only be the specified figure Audi will market the car with. True output will be upwards of 600hp, with 610hp (455kW) pegged as the most likely figure.
It looks like Audi is taking no chances with the ultimate “wolf in sheep’s clothing” model and even BMW’s excellent V10 motor will struggle to compete with this kind of power output.
