The Audi RS5 TDI concept with 283 kW and 750 N.m has left everyone wondering about a diesel RS model from Audi.
When Audi released details about its RS5 TDI concept earlier this year, it left many Audi fans wondering if the company had plans to create high-performance, RS-badged diesel cars. The short answer is no. But don’t let disappointment sink in just yet.
In a recent conversation with Car and Driver, Quattro GmbH managing director, Heinz Hollerwege, stated that while a diesel RS doesn’t look likely, the company is interested in possibly creating performance oriented diesel vehicles under a different moniker so that it’s set apart from the RS models.
Other bits that Hollerweger threw into the conversation hinted at high-performance electric vehicles as well as the possibility of a new engine for its RS5.
