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

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

There is allegedy a 550hp of the V6 planned for a pure ICE version of the RS 5 but that's still TBD.

Also.. both the C9 RS and B10 RS will use the ZF8 instead of the DSG

I was actually surprised that the S5 didn’t use the ZF8.

Maybe that rumoured 2.9 version of the S5 will switch to the ZF8 for the US

So in audi line up the v8 will remain just for the sq7 and upcoming sq9 also with zf8 since dsg doesnt support that kind of power?

Perhaps Audi will add a V8 to the RS 6 down the line, just how Mercedes is doing a performance trim revision to the C and GLC and CLE..... but so far it seems it will be V6 + 2 e-motors.

TBH I wasn't expecting the PPC platform to get a ZF8 at all but yeah perhaps the SQ7 and SQ9 will keep the ZF8 also.

There will be an s6? If yes, i guess will get the rs5 engine

D8T = TH9 base engine, 270kW, hybrid, 360kW combined -- listed for FN (so I assume this is the S6)

M0S = TI0 base engine, 375kW, hybrid, 470kW combined -- listed for the FU (so I assume this is the RS5)
Based on this, no?!But why from cost efficiency point of view

THAT I think he's mis interpreting that info?

I believe the S6 will still retain the 2.9 and he confused information about the 3.0 V6 PHEV to be the S6. Tho we'll see
