New Audi RS 5 Avant PHEV Spy Shots: Can It Outshine the Mercedes-AMG C 63 With More Cylinders?

Mercedes-AMG's decision to stick with four cylinders for the 206 series may be a blunder, especially when competitors like BMW M and Audi Sport offer six-cylinder options. Audi's upcoming RS 5 Avant PHEV is turning heads with its combination of a twin-turbo V6 engine and an electric drive unit. Spotted testing in Sweden, this sporty wagon is expected to make waves in the performance car market.

With a wider track, distinctive design elements, and advanced lighting technology, the next-generation Audi RS 5 Avant is set to impress. Despite a higher starting price than its RS 4 Avant sibling, the RS 5 Avant offers a compelling alternative to competitors like the Mercedes-AMG C 63. The big question remains: can the RS 5 Avant compete with the C 63 S E Performance T-Modell's impressive power output?
