Here's hoping mine will be brought forward a couple of weeks!

Was in my dealer today about another purchase but presume you have all seen this: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electr ... oming-2024

Dealer confirmed current A6 will be killed this year and replaced with new all electric A6 in 2024 (will be revealed end 2023) and thus the petrol RS6 will also cease production. They recon the run of the RS6 performances will be a short one before the A6 goes fully electric next year
There will still be another ICE RS6. Please see the last 2 paragraphs of the article

Etron A6 has been paraded around for several years now, suspect 24 is realistic, main issue is UK infrastructure is still some way off.

A last edition ICE RS6 has been alluded to before, but no other information other than after the performance. I’d read something, probably on here, that suggested the performance and other one would be released at a similar time

Anyone know what the item circled in yellow is? I see some cars with and some without, only thing I can think of is something to do with air suspension vs DRC

Mine doesn't have it - DRC Suspension.

Could it be an auxiliary heater? Cant our friends in Europe heat their cars from their phone?

Since have wondered that as it appears to have a heat shield.

Not surprised to hear the build weeks are being pushed back... Good old AUDI.

Changes include bigger turbos which have been tuned for more boost pressure, resulting in 630hp and 850Nm of torque. That’s 30hp and 50Nm more than the standard cars.

Bargain for £15k extra...
