A6/S6/RS6 2026 Audi A6/S6 C9 Spyshots

Good timing for it now that Mercedes doesn't offer a V8 E63.

2027. E63 V8 returns.

So glad to hear it's still going to be a V8.

What is the source? I know the CLE will get some version of the new flat plane crank V8.. haven’t heard about the E though.

The 4.7L will be Crossplane the 4L Flatplane.

I am curious which engine will eventually end up in the E63.

My source told me for months that the RS6 will be hybrid V8, of course it's not confirmed yet and my source can be wrong but it's VERY rare.

Hybrid v8 723hp just say it, is not like you are giving names and put somebody in trouble

Well i din't know about the power, he only said V8 hybrid to me. 723hp is huge number this thing will be amazing.

The renders look good but I dont think they look aggressive enough for a RS6. They should add wider wheel arches front and rear then it will look hot.

A6 Allroad

 

[Design FIRST]

A6 Allroad

I think I prefer the extented wheelarch lip visual to that of the very broad haunched look of the upcoming C9 RS6. It somehow looks..."leaner and meaner" while maintaining that purposeful wide tracked appeal. Reminds me a bit of the C5 RS6.

Especially the view from the rear looks very good IMHO.

Quick note from DE storage accessories and so on
The only one positive note for the split lights like the Q3 or the PPE platform cars, is that if one is broken or in a small accident you can replace only the top or bottom light (which is broken)
Top left DRL Q3 costs Eu 1800, bottom matrix light Eu 2370
For example on the PPC A5/A6/Q5 matrix lights you have to replace the whole unit for Eu 4600

or....you can save an arm or leg by buying used headlights on ebay for a 10th of the cost.

Final test models are on the road and looks like rumours were true, the A6 allroad will be receiving the RS 6 wide front and rear fenders, with thin allroad cladding on the edges of those wheels arches.

Here's the front and rear bumpers of the RS 6 C9 V6 PHEV.

Unfortunately missing the grilles in the front bumper unlike the B10 RS 5 front bumper "leak"

So its lock on for both Rs5 and Rs6 to be V6?

The only places reporting V8 are basing it off of Autocar which is known to not have the most correct information.

Parts catologue for Audi is showing V6 for the RS 5 and RS 6 per another Audi forum I'm in.

For the MOT codes involving the EA839 evo base engines, we have five that are listed:
D5A = TH9 base engine, 270kW, DWVA -- listed for FU (S5), GU (SQ5), and FN (A6)
D8T = TH9 base engine, 270kW, hybrid, 360kW combined -- listed for FN (so I assume this is the S6)
M9P = TI0 base engine, 375kW, DYAA -- this only shows up, currently, under the type GU
M0S = TI0 base engine, 375kW, hybrid, 470kW combined -- listed for the FU (so I assume this is the RS5)
M10 = TI0 base engine, 375kW, hybrid, 550kW combined -- listed for the FN (so I assume this is the RS6)

510hp out of the V6, that sounds about right.
