2026 Audi A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro and A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro

Audi has expanded its fleet with two new versions of the A6 model that combine efficiency and performance, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro and the A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro. Both versions come with a longer wheelbase and wider track.

These A6 hybrids firmly position Audi in the premium hybrid market by combining efficiency, power and luxury. Apart from minor design changes, the rest of the car is identical to the standard A6, with the addition of an improved three-zone air conditioning system and acoustics that are now 30 percent better. The biggest changes are under the bonnet.

The sedan e-hybrid quattro is powered by a 2.0-L TFSI engine combined with an electric motor for a total output of 299 hp and 450 Nm of torque, which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6 seconds. In the case of the Avant e-hybrid quattro, the same hybrid combination is used with slightly more power, 367 hp and 500 Nm of torque, but also faster acceleration to 100 km/h (5.3 seconds).

Audi has improved the recuperation system that allows you to adjust the energy recovery via paddles on the steering wheel. Drivers can also count on two driving modes, EV for fully electric drive and Hybrid for optimized efficiency, which allows automatic adjustment depending on driving conditions. All modes include a four-wheel steering system, which improves agility and stability.

When it comes to price, the Sedan starts at 65,800 euros, while the Avant is slightly more expensive and costs 68,300 euros. The more powerful versions, with 367 hp, are more expensive and cost 75,050 and 77,550 euros.

Audi RS Q8 with 1,000 HP

The RS Q8 is the largest SUV in Audi’s fleet and is now the basis for a new Mansory project. The German tuning company has made it better and more powerful.

This car is a true beast in the world of SUVs, and it showed it on one of the most famous tracks, the Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it set the fastest lap time in the production SUV category. Last year, a refreshed version was presented, powered by a 4.0-L V8 biturbo engine with 640 hp and 850 Nm of torque, which is enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 306 km/h.

The Mansory version has a black body and a yellow leather-covered interior. The leather can also be seen on the body details, rims and huge brake calipers. At Mansory, the most attention was paid to increasing power. Under the bonnet is still a 4.0-L V8 biturbo engine, but with 1,000 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque. While Mansory hasn’t revealed performance data, what we do know is that the car gets a modified ECU, new turbochargers, new water-cooled intercoolers, more open air filters, new tailpipes and a new exhaust system.

Audi offers the R18 LMP1 and RS 5 DTM to an exclusive clientele

Due to the difficult situation on the car market, many manufacturers are trying to find different solutions in order to keep the existing ones and get closer to new customers. Audi recently decided to offer racing cars to a certain number of customers and provide them with technical support. The first to be offered are the R18 LMP1 and the RS 5 DTM.

“We are rebuilding these chassis together with reconditioned parts from that time into racing cars according to strict standards and with a high level of expertise. In some cases, even the developers from that era are involved in the current projects. The Audi R18 e-tron quattro and the RS 5 DTM are two of the fastest racing cars we have ever built. Customers can look forward not only to extremely sought-after racing cars, but also to a firework display of driving emotions. Our customers become part of a select circle, benefit from our motorsport expertise and receive comprehensive support,” says Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH.

Both models have an impressive racing history, and although they are more than a decade older, only the F1 cars are more technologically advanced. The R18 LMP1 (chassis #207) achieved good results in the 2012 season. It won the 6 Hours of Spa, finished 5th at Le Mans, and managed to climb the podium in the remaining races of the season. It is currently unknown how many cars Audi will offer.

The RS5 DTM is not a typical sports car. It is a prototype with an RS5 body and is powered by a 2.0-L inline-4 turbocharged engine with around 600 hp. This chassis #107, which won the DTM final in Hockenheim in 2015, is equipped with numerous aerodynamic components.

Audi has announced that all deliveries will be made this summer, so hurry up if you are interested.
