Audi are planning to give the new RS6 Avant with a Plus variant that will boast around 600 hp, up from the 560 hp that’s being offered now.
That's the promise of Stephan Reil, boss of Audi's go-faster Quattro division. This follows the trend introduced with the Audi TT RS Plus and continued with the R8 V10 Plus.
The RS6 Plus won't be built in limited numbers either but a full production option. In addition, Audi wants to save high-performance naturally aspirated engines, and make future RS models lighter...
As for the current generation, Audi plans on increasing performance 8 to 10 percent according to Reil, which means something a little north of 600bhp.
He added the RS5 Plus could receive chassis changes and the RS lineup will also be lighter, which is 50 kg lighter than the standard R8.
