And the old squared fenders look better than the new one also.

Yupp, what I also said before. It's Audi history from the SportQuattro, and I will miss them very much.

I suppose it´s only a matter of time that some talented artist renders the RS7 with the same exterior kit than the RS6.

I hope that they won't go the same way. I mean, it would be cool to have the RS4, RS5, RS6 and RS7 with their uniqueness.
For now, they look damn good all of them. And they differ. Before, pretty much all RS bumpers looked the same.
But now:

There is already a letter put together from some people on RS6.com

"December 5th, 2012
Dear AoA,
It was with baited breath that each of us here in the United States and Canada read the introduction of the new 2014 RS6 Avant to the world (article dated December 4th, 2012 and attached for reference). It would appear from follow on responses supplied to the press, once again, the North American market is being left in the cold.
We the following, represent the forgotten RS6 ownership here in North America. Only delivered in 2003, and subsequently 2004 in Canada, many of us have been faithful RS6 owners either from new, or from close to new. Some of us have owned two or three of them, over the last 10 years.
We are the heart and soul of twin turbo - eight cylinder Audi ownership. We were the first with DRC, we were the first with massively oversized eight piston brakes, we were the first with ZF transmissions not quite up to the task to take on the massive torque delivered by these wonderful vehicles. We lived with EGT sensors that required the removal of the block to change. We ARE the RS pioneers! And yes, we all still own and love them.
For the last 10 years……we have waited. We have waited with the hope that Audi of America will listen to its customer base. Waited with the hope that AoA would read our emails, answer our many phone calls, and finally we have waited for AoA to do the ‘right thing’.
We want, we need, no we deserve the 2014 RS6. Furthermore, we need the Avant! Now that Mercedes had announced the 2014 E63 AMG 4matic Wagon will be delivered to the US, there are many of us that will leave Audi in favor of the Stuttgart brand. Not out of choice, but out of necessity. Wagons are regaining popularity in this country following a mulit year dip. Having both the E63 AMG wagon, and the Cadillac CTS-V wagon available here, the Sport Wagon has started to gain momentum. Audi needs to bring the RS6 here to compete.
Don’t forget, we are the same market segment that buys the S8 for our date night car, and the A4, or a TT for our kids when they go off to college. There are MANY of us signed below that own 2 or more late model Audi’s, and when we switch to buy the E63AMG 4matic wagon, we will switch for everything.
If AoA’s opinion is that there is not a market for the RS6 here in the US, we would conclude that you have failed to truly understand your market. In fact, with the recent rise in popularity of Audi across North America, you are missing the chance to DEFINE a market. Isn't that what your billboard at Dulles Airport refers to...the brave thinkers that brought AoA to Washington DC?
The question that each of us here is asking….are you listening?
With over a hundred registered email addresses as signatures below, we implore you to reconsider, and bring the RS6 to the US. Most of us wait with our checkbooks in hand, ready to sign for an upcoming allocation.
Don’t let your greatest legacy in RS history be tarnished with the thought of ‘what if’ we had brought the RS6 Avant to the US?
We eagerly await your response, and your willingness to get behind us…your customer!

Warm regards,

The RS6.com Users Group"

We will probably get RS7. RS6? I doubt it. Why would Audi USA fragment the miniscule market for RS cars here in US? But I hope I am wrong and we get the RS6 wagon instead.

^I'm sure if AoA get enough interest for an RS6 Avant they could bring it to the States in a limited 250-500 run, remember what they did with the TTRS.

The one thing that I loved about the last RS6 compared to its rivals was the type of usable performance on offer, Merc have seen this and answered with the next E63 getting 4matic, I can only imagine that BMW will follow in the near future.

 

[Tumbo]

The previous generation of RS6 hit everybody with a BOOM! It had 130hp more then the car it replaced, and a whole massive 73hp over the M5. So, everybody was excepting wonders. Yeah, the car was fast as hell, but not AS FAST as it should have been with those 580hp. I think that this generation RS6 will be a totallly different story. I think it will be a rocket both straight, and on track. Just look how good the current S6 is, while nobody cared about the S6 V10.

Actually BMW been talking about AWD for at least two years now. Current M5 almost got AWD as an option but in the end it ws declined but expect to see AWD for the next generation, at least is going to be optional.

Okay now...breathe...

The dream.
Unfortunately...just a CGI.

 

[Deckhook]

I don't have any figures to back this up but I reckon the A7 is probably selling as well as the A6 in the USofA so there's no real need to confuse matters and dilute sales by offering a saloon as well. I think if they wanted additional sales they'd bring the Avant in small numbers which I reckon could still happen regardless of what is officially said.

And they should have stuck with it! Made the RS6.

Exactly!

I read that it was a matter of saving money, that they chose not to go with those fenders on the RS6. Such a huge huge shame.

 

[Kowalski]

Are those carbon fibre mirror housings?

 

[SKY]

Oh my... This car is sex on the wheels, so so beautiful!!

 

[Tumbo]

Excuse me and my language.. But this is sunday evening PORN!

When I look at this picture...

I think of this:

And yes, this is the carbon/black package. Carbon mirrors, grille, front bumper fenders etc. Just as you wanted man

And looking on this pic:

1. I miss the sportquattro fenders so much, I think i'm gonna start crying
2. I don't like the wheels

 

[Deckhook]

I remember the complaints when the old RS6 switched to the square arches because the old B7 RS4 looked so aggressive and now we have the same complaints because they switched back.

Personally either arches looks great.

Really? From who? I've never heard any complains... Most Audi owners/fans adore the sportquattro arches. :/

 

[IanDriver]

Looks awesome with carbon pack. Like a BOSS!

BTW I also don't like these rims, good that the you can select a different

Quite a few I knew on different forums hated the idea of square arches again, for them the RS4 was just so aggressive that the switch lost some of this aggressiveness and to be honest I kind of seen their point, an arch that's stretched over the wheel always looks meaner. It's why I love the look of the 1M coupe.
