    Audi Hints Future “Performance” RS 6 and RS 7 To Be Plug-In Hybrids

    The new Audi RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback pack 591 horses (441 kW) which is plenty grunt for most individuals but in this crazy world of uber-high-performance luxury cars, there is no such thing as too much power.

    We just mentioned that the next-gen RS 4 will receive a plug-in hybrid powertrain but it sounds like the “Performance” variants of the above-mentioned machines could get a substantial power hike thanks to the same plug-in hybrid treatment.

    At a roundtable with US media, Audi Sport co-managing director Oliver Hoffman said “In the future, we will have plug-in hybrid technology in our RS portfolio,” adding that they would represent a step beyond the basic RS cars. He didn’t say which RS models would go plug-in, but it’s fair to guess that the RS 6 and RS 7 will get the treatment.

    These would likely be the range toppers just like Porsche has done with the Panamera and Cayenne. The RS 6 and RS 7 share their 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with the Panamera and Cayenne Turbo, though Audi’s version makes more power.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
