The new Audi RS6 is currently under development. The C9 generation will be based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture and will be offered in both Avant and Sedan body styles.
The new-gen RS6 was initially expected to debut by the end of this year. However, we’ve been told that the official reveal will take place in March 2027.
Gone are the days when the RS6 was powered by gas-guzzling V8 and V10 engines. The new model will switch to a V6 with a plug-in hybrid setup. While there have been reports about the new RS6 getting a twin-turbo V8 PHEV version, our sources have told us it’s highly unlikely.
That being said, the new V6 plug-in hybrid is no slouch. It is estimated to deliver around 750 hp. Couple that with the all-wheel drive, and you will have a station wagon/sedan that’s both practical and sporty.
Once launched, the C9 Audi RS6 will rival the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63. American customers can rejoice, as the next-gen RS6 Avant will be coming to the US for the 2028 model year.
