Audi wants in on the BMW X6’s apparent sales success. A rumour reported by Autoweek suggests Ingolstadt cannot simply close its eyes to the X6 and is now seriously investigating its own for the segment. Some are calling it the Q6, while others prefer the name Q8. Whatever it will be named, the SUV coupe should be a hit on showroom floors.
A Q6/ Q8 would stand between the Q5 and Q7, probably hit the market in the year 2015 or 2016 if development has already been approved. By then an all-new X6 will also be available for sale. Engines would naturally be shared with the Audi family of upper-class vehicles, including the Q7, A7 Sportback and A6. Even a hybrid is possible at that level, while an RS model would certainly come into play.
