The next Audi RS6 and RS7 (2013/14)

[bmwade]

To be fair to Audi of America they just don't sell enough A4, A6, A8, Q7s to get much freedom from Germany. BMW and Mercedes sell almost 2.5 times more cars per year in the US which makes special editions mucj easier to pull of. Add limited RS availability and euro to USD exchange rate and US certification costs and the limited US lineup begins to make sense.

How many 130,000 Q7 V12 TDI diesels would they have sold in America? Audi even canceled it in Europe.

They could have sold up to 2000 of them! You can sell that many of anything! Go try to build a Porsche Cayenne on their website....when I got done optioning it the price was $193,000...
also I think there are a lot of people currently driving AMG's and M's who would buy RS's if they were available! My guess is that if they expanded the RS lineup then they could easily take at least at least a 3rd of the hi-po luxury market! Audi just builds better cars (just go look at those pictures on the other thread), and if they bring them they will sell them!

I'm going to start a daily routine of posting about getting the C7 RS6 avant on Audi USA Facebook page. It may be ultimately useless but it's worth the 2 mins of my time to try! Anyone else care to join me? The more who do the better our odds of success!

Dear Friends,

after a successful time at the summercamp for obesity, the new Audi RS 6 has been sent back to the Gym to pack on some extra muscles. Not that it has been weak against its direct competition (has been on top already) but it has been considered as "needs more" to give the potential customer the most powerful and fastest Audi RS car ever.

Please admit muscles do not grow over night, due to that the release has been delayed. Other than that you would have seen the next Audi RS car in Paris next month.

Is the Audi RS 6 coming to the USA? The premiere of the next Audi RS car will not be in Europe.

PS: it IS a good thing to show AoA your appreciation and interest for the next Audi RS 6. Audi Germany engineers, builds and delivers what AoA is stating to be able sell. Talking about the Audi RS 6 Avant: if the US market demands the fastest production wagon and AoA can sell a adequate qoute for a reasonable price, why should the executive board decline? However in the end everything that counts are numbers, like with every business today. We might end up with a Website asking "Do you want the fastest...".

If I'm understanding you correctly you dressed this wolf up in sheeps clothing and tested it, realized you had built a car that was better than the best from AMG & M, so you decided to go full on Shock&Awe and build a car that's more or less aimed past them straight @ Brabus & Alpina? Like a demoralizing display of force? And better than that it will be debuting at either the New York or Detroit Auto Show? And it WILL be on sale in the US, possibly even as an Avant if enough of us beg hard enough? I realize you probably can't say any more than you already did, so you can just post a simley RS6 flag thing if I'm close!

Damn it Qisha. I think I just upped my budget.

I heard long ago (more than a year?) from my "sources" that we would be getting the C7 RS6. However, rumors are always subject to changing circumstances. Being that my sources are near, and have connections into, AoNA HQ in Reston, I took them at face value, but until it's announced, as far as I'm concerned, it's just not happening.

Regardless, a $180K price tag is just out of the stratosphere. And, if that's going to be the case, I will really struggle with what to replace my C5 with. At this point, I'd actually PREFER the Avant RS6, if I have the option.

I hope this extra delay is not going to make the RS6 arrive again just before the facelift. In the past the only reason that has stopped me from buying Audis is the fact that they were "old" on arrival and the new model even if no RS model was much more modern. Now I am so fed up with the Panamera Turbo that I am seriously considering the RS6. I love the new M5, but for me AWD is a must. I also hope the price will be reasonable. Where I live the previous model cost exactly as much as a Panamera Turbo, but with less standard equipment and a extremely high depreciation rate, as it was overtaken by the new model, even if with smaller engines.

I hope will be unveiled @ los angeles autoshow in November 2012 or Naias jan 2013

I didn't realize LA was in November! Duh! That would be much better!

Its tragic that all RS models are launched late in the product life cycle. It should have been the other way around.

if I correctly remember Quisha wrote on this forum some times ago, now rs models are made-produced by audi. quattro gmbh had problems to build rs cars in less time as customers wanted

Good news, just saw a full minute Audi S8 ad during the football game. If Audi is willing to advertise a "halo" yet low volume model such as the S8 I can see them spending the money on bringing the RS6 to the US to continue to build the Audi brand.

Dear US Friends,

who would be interested in buying a Audi RS 6 Wagon?

AoA reports demand is very low.
