If you want reliable information about the engine in the next RS6, then you need to look at this site and then post it on the Swedish site. Not the other way round.
Search the forum and you'll soon find out about the RS6 engine!

The next RS6 will have a V10 turbo AND compressor and 600 hp.
This engine is supposed to be used in the LeMans quattro as well.
This engine type (turbo + compressor) is used by the new Golf, but the news release was not so big. My guess then was that they are saving it for something else within the VAG (=Audi).
Let's hope...at least it's some more wood for the fire.
Autumn 2007 - Next RS6 release.
And that is exacly what it says on that page!

I doubt that info is correct. The mechanical compressor is only needed in a small engine that doesn't move enough air mass to spool up even a small turbo.
Bigger engines can easily handle a twin turbo (small+big) or bi-turbo (2xmedium) set-up. 600hp from a 5.2 V10 is no problem. Hell, you can do it with a couple of cams (though it would destroy the powerband). There won't be a lack of airflow, so there is no reason for a compressor. It would just leech power.
Although VAG has been known to develop engines that were more a curiosity than an efficient innovation, I don't think the RS6 will feature a superfluous supercharger.
"quoted sources in Ingolstadt"
I think what we're seeing here is a German attempt at developing a sense of humor. Twin Charged V10, haha, good stuff.

Different Set-ups have been reported as "under research", the V10 Bi-Turbo with 650PS is the most seriously Option.
