Audi RS6 e-tron: wider, bigger-wheeled EV coming in 2024
Audi will launch an electric RS6 e-tron next year, and the in-house reveal made 1,000 VW Group managers go “crazy”…
Rejoice! An electric Audi RS6 e-tron will be revealed next year, with design boss Marc Lichte telling TG the EV saloon will have a wider track and bigger wheels to set it apart from the upcoming A6 e-tron.
Both will be based on VW Group’s PPE platform, with the A6 e-tron set to get a 100kWh battery and 435 miles of range. Meanwhile the quickest models are set to chalk off 0-62mph in under four seconds flat.
And speaking at a preview of the Audi activesphere concept in Munich, Lichte confirmed that the RS6 would have “different” performance. Which we’re going to take to mean ‘more’, and probably ‘much more’ at that. Because obviously.
But he was more forthcoming about what the RS6 e-tron would look like: “It would be a pleasure for me to show you now the A6 e-tron, the Q6 e-tron, all these future RS models… I love these ones,” he explained.

The 2022 Audi RS 6 Avant Is a Family Hauler and Canyon Brawler
Truly fast wagons are rare these days, so we should celebrate them while we can. And the RS 6 Avant is worthy of lots and lots of celebration.
The RS 6 Avant is an incredible car that seemingly does everything well, but at over $150,000 for a loaded one, it’s not exactly the car that most people buy for schlepping their kids. It’s a niche enthusiast vehicle in a sadly dying form factor that celebrates all the best aspects of a brand known for making fast, practical cars. And for that reason alone, I love it.

We’re liking this Audi RS6 on retro wheels
1016 Industries sticks some carbon fibre onto Audi’s V8 estate
The current C8 generation RS6 is the first proper RS-spec wagon that Audi has ever sold in the US, and it would seem that American tuners are very happy about this indeed.
Just check out this circa $20k kit from Miami-based modifier 1016 Industries, for example. The extra aero bits are all made from carbon fibre and include a relatively subtle front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser.
There’s also a larger roof spoiler, a hefty bonnet scoop and those excellent retro-style RDB wheels. More than a hint of the old RS wheels by BBS about them, isn’t there?
Of course, if you did go for the full kit, the 1016 Industries conversion would make your RS6 rather expensive indeed. Prices start at $121,900 for the 592bhp, 4.0-litre twin turbo V8-engined wagon in the US right now, meaning you’d be paying well over $140,000 for the pleasure.

The ABT RS6 Legacy Edition is a 750bhp modified Audi estate
Regular RS6 too pedestrian? Seek help. Alternatively, seek ABT’s monster Avant
Following widespread criticism of its pedestrian pace, storied German modifications outfit ABT has addressed the controversy surrounding the comically slow latest-generation Audi RS6.
Dubbed the ABT RS6 Legacy Edition, the tuner’s new upgrade gives the RS6’s 4.0-litre V8 a much-needed power boost, increasing the ‘Performance’ version from 621bhp – an output most observers decried as ‘useless’ – to 750bhp. The car’s torque rises too, to 723lb ft, and while ABT hasn’t released any additional performance data, informed speculation suggests the RS6 LE will be capable of 0-62mph quicker than the factory car’s sluggish 3.4s sprint.
A raft of changes to Audi Sport’s asthmatic charging system include a new set of ABT turbochargers and intercoolers, along with better air routing via the “optimised” intake grilles up front. There’s also a new engine management system to handle the additional power, which – says ABT – now “demands proper respect”, something the RS6 has been sorely lacking in its current guise. Any guise, come to think of it.

Audi RS6 Avant Performance review: 621bhp evolution is the best RS6 ever Reviews 2023 | Top Gear
Is this a new special edition Audi RS6 Avant? No, the RS6 Performance now replaces the existing RS6 Avant. You can’t buy the mere 592bhp version of Audi’s ultimate A6 any more. Nein, the Germans insist you must now have 621bhp. Welcome to the most powerful factory RS6 yet.
