The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant was announced back in December with a twin-turbo V8 cranking out 560 horsepower, but Car is reporting that this badass grocery getter could get even more power with a new Plus model. In a conversation with Car, Stephan Reil, Audi's top guy at its Quattro GmbH division, told the magazine that the RS6 Avant Plus would produce around 600 horsepower, and it sounds like there is a growing family of RS Plus models being planned as well.

Aside from the more powerful engine, the specifics of the RS6 Avant Plus are unknown, but we'd suspect some weight-savings measures and updated features for improved handling. Like recent RS Plus models such as the TT RS Plus and R8 Plus, the RS6 Avant Plus will not be a limited-production unit when it goes on sale (most likely for the 2014 model year).How does a 600-HP Audi RS6 Avant Plus sound to you? originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:44:00 EST.

I'll bet we don't get ANY A4 or A6 Avant in the US. VW division may not even give us a JSW after 2013, and they have already killed the Passat wagon. I may have to defect to a BMW 328 Touring or a Prius V next time around.
