hmmm .. While the new A6 has been spring 2011 for some time .. I have serious doubts Audi will spring a new RS6 until they have at least a year (or 2) on the design - they never have before

They have the RS5, TTRS running at the Moment .. they will do a RS3 .. and I'd put money on a RS1 of some type ..

So RS6 .. yes .. but late 2012 / early 2013

Happy to be proved wrong (round about May 2012 please and then I dont have to MOT this one )

Concur with all that has been said, RS6 won't be launched until min. 2012 if at all. There is no confirmation yet for a 'replacement' RS6 to the current C6.

Does anyone have any intel re what happened to RS6 C5 prices when the C6 was launched? I'm wondering if there is a point before the price really drops as we approach the new model C7.

There is also likely to be an RS7 before a new RS6 as well.

This whole RS thing has gone mad.

they are RSing everything now, no exclusivity anymore. When there was just the B5 and C5 it was really exclusive, now its like shelling peas......
