Report: Next Audi RS4 Avant, RS5 Coupe Will Use Electric Turbo V-6 - Automobile

Though previous versions of the RS4 and RS5 used a naturally aspirated, 4. 2-liter V-8, this move to forced induction doesn’t come as much of a surprise. We’ve detailed Audi’s plans for electric turbocharging before, and the RS4 will reportedly represent the first use of this technology on an Audi production car, with the RS5 coupe to follow shortly afterwards. The last Audi RS4 sold in the U. S. offered both sedan and wagon bodystyles, but the new RS4 is likely to remain Avant-only like the outgoing RS 4 sold in Europe. Source: www.automobilemag.com
