      Tu acceso exclusivo a los automóviles del futuro y a prototipos secretos, directamente de nuestro fotógrafo espía.

      Al igual que tú, somos entusiastas de las rancheras con motor V8. El Audi RS6 es increíble (a pesar de su peso similar al de una pequeña locomotora), y nos ha animado la reciente confirmación de Audi sobre el mantenimiento de esta fórmula. No es necesario mencionar que nos emocionan aún más las nuevas fotos espía del sucesor de este imponente alemán.

      Y por si fuera poco, nuestros espías nos sorprendieron esta mañana con más buenas noticias: ¡la ranchera no es el único RS6 que regresará en 2027; el sedán también volverá! El autor de este artículo es un ferviente miembro (y, además, propietario de un Cadillac) de la comunidad de sedanes deportivos, así que me considero particularmente interesado.

      Ya hemos visto el nuevo RS6 Avant en dos ocasiones: una por cada variante de tren motriz del súper familiar (sí, al parecer el modelo eléctrico sigue en proyecto). Solo con observar este prototipo se nota que es la versión RS. El paquete de llantas y frenos ya es una pista bastante sólida, pero los pasos de rueda ensanchados y las rejillas abiertas, junto con las salidas de escape ovaladas en la parte trasera, realmente lo confirman. Y debo decir que parece sorprendentemente compacto. Así es para 2025.

      ¿Estoy loco, o tiene cierto parecido con el Subaru Legacy de principios de los 2000 en esa parte trasera? Y lo digo de manera positiva; el Spec.B de 2006 contaba con un diseño elegante y líneas limpias, evitando las típicas exageraciones de rally de Subaru. Si inclino un poco la cabeza, también puedo ver algo de Saab en esa zona trasera.

      Debido al habitual ritmo de lanzamientos de Audi, podrían pasar uno o dos años más antes de que veamos alguna de estas variantes en los Estados Unidos —y seamos sinceros, las posibilidades de que el modelo eléctrico llegue aquí son escasas o nulas.

      Hubo un tiempo en que se pensaba que el nuevo RS6 Avant sería completamente eléctrico, pero dada la realidad actual, esa estrategia ha quedado completamente descartada. Informamos en junio que Audi probablemente optaría por una variante híbrida enchufable de su V8 biturbo de 4.0 litros. Dado que ambos prototipos de gasolina han mostrado calcomanías que indican que tienen baterías híbridas a bordo, parece un hecho.
