Yes, probably, with 580 hp and expensive
The rumours say that it will have a twin turbo 5.2-liter V10 with 580 hp. Others say that it will have 550 hp regular V10. I sure hope it is the turbo. However, there have only be a couple of spy shots on the 'Ring and some articles that say that it might not come out because it would be too expensive. In other words there has been doubt about the RS6. When it does come out it will probably be approaching 100k. It has been assumed that it is likely to debut at Geneva this March, but the A5 will definitely debut there so it is possible that the RS6 might debut elsewhere.

The RS6.com forum seems to think so.....
but I suppose that is to be expected. 
FWIW, here's a quote from a post there today:
"Confirmed from Audi insider:
New RS6 engine: 5.2L FSI 550HP@7900rpm 530Nm@4500-6000 (same engine as new 2008 Gallardo)
I do not know what auto tranny it's use, hope they will use 7sp DSG from Veyron."
I think it is still anyone's guess.<ul><li><a href="http://www2.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9599&page=12">http://www2.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9599&page=12</a</li></ul>

Unless people call for it strongly soon, it won't come to North America. Price point around
the R8. Forced induction almost a certainty. The Plus version should have well over 600hp.
A real beast by all accounts.

Re: Looks like a regular A6 with a custom diffuser, exhaust tips, and wheels.
A6Dre, your right on the money. It's a 2005 A6 4.2 Quattro AWD customized. The first time I saw it, I thought it was either an S6 or and RS6 until I found out neither were made in 2005.
