Being a development driver has to be one of the most fun jobs in the world. That’s until you bin an expensive prototype.
It’s exactly what happened to an Audi test driver at the Nurburgring. He was piloting a 2027 RS6 Avant mule around the track when he went off at the right-hander just before the carousel. The test vehicle understeered and smacked the barrier, causing minor damage.
The new RS6 could get a plug-in hybrid V6 under the hood. Some reports also talk about the possibility of a twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid setup. However, the last time Audi built an RS6 sedan, it was powered by a 5.0 liter twin-turbo V10 engine producing 571 bhp and 479 lb-ft of torque.
The new Audi RS6 will be based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture. It will compete with the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63.
