    “More Extreme” Audi RS6 Could Be On The Way

    Just a few days ago we mentioned that Audi may not be finished with the RS3 and now we are hearing the same thing about their RS6 Avant.

    From 2026, Audi will only launch electric vehicles so could we see the brand from Ingolstadt deliver some impressive ICE swansongs?

    While talking to Autocar, Audi Sport boss Sebastian Grams strongly suggested there’s more power coming from the V8 that goes inside the RS6 Avant (and others of course).

    The twin-turbo 4.0-litre engine currently punches out 621 hp (463 kW) and 850 Nm (625 lb-ft) of torque in the RS6 and RS7 Performance models launched late last year. When asked whether the German luxury brand is done with the RS6 upgrades, Audi Sport’s head honcho said: “No, we can go more extreme. We can make the car even stronger, even more performance, even sharper.”

    Unfortunately, he did not elaborate on what he meant but if you recall we have seen a very hardcore RS6 already with the GTO concept built to celebrate 40 years of Quattro.

    Modelled on the legendary Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO racer from the late 1990s, this outlandish one-off (seen above) donned a retro red-and-white livery, track-style one-piece rims and a sprinkling of bespoke aero-enhancing bodywork elements. It was stripped out inside, too, to make way for a roll cage and bucket seats – although Grams’ preoccupation with everyday usability suggests these elements will remain on the drawing board.

    We can only hope whatever Grams is hinting at is something like that.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
