Audi RS6 Avant testing spy shot

Spy photographers were able to catch the Avant version testing during winter conditions somewhere in the coldest areas of Sweden. A more aggressive front fascia, wider track, and add-on fender flares make this a pre-production prototype of the RS6 Avant.

Like its sedan brother, the RS6 Avant will feature some modifications on the lower intakes, but the add-on flares will have integrated fender flares and possibly box flares like those seen on the Ur-quattro. Audi, along with everyone else, is also working on reducing the car’s weight by as much as possible, meaning that many of the car’s elements - like the front fenders we’ve already seen on the RS3 - will be built in lightweight Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). The wheels have also received big ceramic brakes.
