- The RS6 will most likely be produced.
- TT V8 engine in 3.7 or 4.2 litre format. 440-470hp, 400+ lb-ft torque has been mentioned.
- 0-62.5km estimates are in the 4.7-5.0s range.
- Photos to date have been of the S6 with few exterior changes. Wheels, trim only.
- Rumor has it there were issues with the V8 running too hot, and melting various components.

What we don't know:

- Everything above.
- Sedan or avant, or both?
- Which transmissions will be available. Can a tip possibly handle 400lb-ft?
- What type of brakes this beast will use. How can Audi manage to produce a system to really stop this car not produced by Brembo or perhaps Alcon? 4klbs @ 175mph on Audi rotors?
- Where it will be sold, and in what quantities.

Basically, we know very little. ;)
