Recently, Audi unveiled the RS6 GT in a limited edition, which not only pays homage to the brand's history, but also makes fans wonder if this is the end and swan song of a high-performance station wagon with an internal combustion engine. A few days ago, some overseas ** asked Nils Fischer, the head of the RS6 GT project, for confirmation, and his answer is believed to be a little relieved for fans.

According to him, the RS6 **ANT GT should be the last goodbye to the A6 C8 generation, but let's not forget that by 2026, Audi will also introduce a series of models with internal combustion engines and mild electrification. Until then, there is still time for the brand to extend a series of performance features for the next generation.

In addition, Audi's Head of Technology and R&D Stephan Reil has confirmed that the next-generation RS6 will retain the internal combustion engine engine and be supplemented by electric motor technology to maintain strong output, which is expected to be optimised with the existing V8 engine technology in the absence of a new series of engines. However, according to the content previously reported on this site, the A6 series will be fully integrated into the A7 series in the future, so the new car name in the future should be RS 7 **ant.

If you zoom in on the market, competitors in the same class have not given up on the development of performance wagons, as the M3 Touring developed by BMW was robbed of the market as soon as it hit the market, and the brand has confirmed that the M5 Touring has completed a series of tests and is ready to fly. And the Mercedes-AMG, although downgraded the internal combustion engine to a four-cylinder and lost the iconic sound of the V8, is still a performance-oriented piece on the C63 Estate. Judging from this situation, the market still has great potential.
