Spy shots of an Audi sports car have recently surfaced on the web, suggesting that a new and exciting model will enter its final tests. This is also a clear indication that we might be dealing here with the upcoming RS Q6 that Audi has been planning for so long.
The body already shows production-ready details, with only a patterned wrap left across the surface.
The front section differs from the Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron in several visible areas. A revised bumper appears up front, paired with a lower intake shaped in a different way under the grille. Side openings also take a separate form, and the lower edge carries a stronger profile than the SQ6 version. At the rear, a fresh bumper work appears again, together with a modified diffuser. The spoiler fixed to the tailgate looks unchanged when placed next to the SQ6.
One detail stands out once the car is viewed from the side. The body sits lower over the wheels than the previously photographed SQ6 prototype, and the alloy set seems unique to this version. Brake calipers visible through the spokes look larger as well. Audi appears to have prepared extra stopping capacity for the higher output expected here.
The model uses the PPE structure shared with the Porsche Macan Turbo Electric. Audi is expected to match that dual-motor all-wheel drive layout and keep the same 100 kWh battery pack. The reference point inside the segment stays clear because the Macan Turbo Electric delivers 630 horsepower and 833 pound-feet, or 1,129 Nm, of torque. Audi is expected to stay below that mark.
Acceleration figures are not official yet, though the benchmark nearby is easy to identify. The Porsche reaches 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and tops out at 162 mph, equal to 261 kph. Audi is expected to trail by a small margin rather than challenge those exact numbers.
Battery range points in the same direction as existing PPE products. The 100 kWh pack used by the Macan carries an EPA figure of 293 miles, equal to 472 km. Audi is likely to stay close to that figure because the core electrical hardware appears shared.
Price positioning also points lower than Porsche. In the United States, the Macan Turbo Electric starts at $112,700. Audi is expected to sit below that level once pricing becomes official.
Audi has not attached a firm launch date yet. Based on how advanced the prototype looks, dealer arrival later this year for the 2027 model year appears to be the most likely path.
