And if it wasn\u2019t for the swirly camouflage covering the front and rear ends, it might have flown under the radar, because the changes are very discreet for the most part.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-3668642152\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-321127240\"><!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/impfr.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25401758)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\r\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=320153&a=2263928&g=25401758\" target=\"_BLANK\"><img src=\"'+uri+'\" border=0><\\\/a>');\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that catches attention is the grille, which appears to be a hair smaller. If that\u2019s the case, then Audi cares that most people aren\u2019t necessarily fond of oversized grilles. Nonetheless, it could be some camo trickery, because it wouldn\u2019t make much sense to reshape the grille of the facelifted iteration, and we\u2019re tempted to go with this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flanking it are the new headlamps that still sport the same integrated DRL signature. The front bumper was also tweaked, and so was the rear one, which is a bit more aggressive than before. Look under it, and you will see the car&#8217;s breath, fat oval exhaust pipes as has always been with RS models. If it\u2019s one thing that doesn\u2019t seem to have changed here yet, that\u2019s the taillight signature, though the vinyl stickers might be doing their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We might expect a few changes when it comes to the interior, such as new software for the infotainment system and perhaps new upholstery options. Unchanged will be the 600-hp V8 under the bonnet (or the optional 630-hp \u201cPerformance\u201d variant) with a top-speed of up to 305 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"48043\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-001.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-001-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" data-id=\"48047\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-005.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-005.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-005-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"48055\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-008.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-008.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-008-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"48051\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-010.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Audi-RS6-Facelift-010-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AUTOMEDIA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of the unveiling date, the facelifted standard A6 might premiere in the second half of this year in the Sedan and Avant body styles, followed by the Allroad and S6. The RS6 snapped here will be the last one to be unveiled \u2013 likely in early or mid-2024 \u2013 and it will still be reserved for the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(js)g(24038478)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<sc'+'ript type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"'+uri+'\" charset=\"\"><\/sc'+'ript>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audi has presented the current RS6 back in 2019, and hence it\u2019s time for the four-ring brand\u2019s powerful estate to go under the knife and receive a mid-cycle facelift.
