Spypics: Q7 W12 TDI and RS6 wintertesting in Sweden!
"Audi RS6 and Q7 V12 TDI Caught Cold-Weather Testing
Audi is developing the RS 6 to be sold as both sedan and Avant in Europe, as shown here in both sedan and Avant guise. If the car does come to the USA, something that hasn’t yet been determined, expect it in sedan form only. Audi product planners see the romance of the Avant, but sales of the C5 S6 were so lackluster that a business case is very hard to make for such a vehicle.
Also spotted in those wintry climes was an interesting looking Q7. With a dull color and factory 20-inch wheels, the car might easily blend in with the scenery, though taking a closer look suggests this to be a development mule of the upcoming Q7 V12 TDI.
Note especially the front fascia of the SUV, similar to that of the Q7 V12 TDI design study shown in Detroit last January. Also of great interest is the gargantuan set of ceramic brakes squeezed behind those 20-inch wheels."

and they're ceramic 
and, yes... I'm so excited to see how the styling of the RS6 will be..  black honeycombe grills, air vents, led's, and a real agressive, but subtle "audi-badass" styling. Only thing I miss is foglights. The S6 would have look better with them.

The RS6 mule based on the S6 looks really good in black. The new Q7 V12 TDI is simply badass.
I saw those pics many times in many forums, btw it's the kind of repost I don't mind.

Great cars. Audi is really stamping itself out as a competitor to Mercedes and BMW, and then some

That job was already reserved for Touareg as TG said, but Q7 can then move the bigger planets. |
Ah yes, that is true..
Move the sun then!
