The dealer seemed pretty assured a Performance model is coming at least to the UK, but I'm waiting to hear more info and there hasn't been any update since Jan
Make sure you pick a colour I like, I may want to part with the RS4 when you are ready to sell!
(Hope you are well and life is treating you good)

Interesting comments re the Porsche but totally different car only room for perhaps a small handbag 🤣🤣 As for power and other brand comparisons 🤷‍♂️ What would you rather be seen in a Greek taxi ? A drug dealers wheels or a proper weapon Audi RS6 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣🤣

Audi dealer called me yesterday just as an update. Still no timelines on the RS6 performance but they understand its a matter of 'when' and not 'if' so lets wait and see

I popped into my dealer yesterday for the wheel/axel alignment recall and mentioned it to the sales guy there and no news. Depending on timelines I think the A6 etron avant RS might be a good bet

Dealer in Aus says “no info” other than “they normally bring it out later in the cycle” … and I’m looking to move on from my RS4 (maybe) but would prefer I get the PERFORMANCE RS6, rather than just the “f’n amazingly adequate” RS6 ….

So, still “thinking”

My dealer said they might skip the facelift, extend the life of the current model (no facelift, no performance), then kill it early when the new electric rs6 comes out.

There was video footage of something RS6 like testing round Nurburgring 6 months or so ago.

At 2.00 looks like a road registered existing rs6 doing some laps amongst the developments cars ? The black one with silver trim?
