And why are we so confident that this is indeed an RS6 Avant test car, we hear some of you ask? Well, there are several telltale signs proving that this is an RS model, including the honeycomb-style front grille and brake air vents, the wider wheel arches and of course, the twin-tail pipes, all of which are signature traits of Audi's RS lineup. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5f5ZGhrGlRc/T43YsXuNhFI/AAAAAAAHXds/v9Ps3zbV9VI/s1600/2014-Audi-RS6-Avant-8.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732476157506192466" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5f5ZGhrGlRc/T43YsXuNhFI/AAAAAAAHXds/v9Ps3zbV9VI/s200/2014-Audi-RS6-Avant-8.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); width: 132px; height: 90px;"></a>If you take an even closer look at the pictures, you will also see the massive brake discs trying to hide behind the five-spoke alloy wheels. Audi officials are keeping their cards close to their chest about the new RS6's drivetrain, but it is believed that the previous model's 571bhp 5.0-liter bi-turbo V10 could be replaced by an upgraded version of Audi's new 4.0-liter TSI that powers <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/frankfurt-show-preview-new-audi-s6-and.html">Audi's S6</a> and S7 (420HP) as well as the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/official-new-2013-audi-s8-gets-40-liter.html">S8 (520HP)</a> and the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/01/bentley-reveals-fresh-details-on-its.html">Bentley Continental models</a> (500HP). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/spy-shots-2013-audi-rs6-avant-shows-up.html#more">Read more »</a>

Hiding underneath the modified body of the current model is the VW Group's brand new and widely advertised, MQB transverse platform architecture. The same chassis debuted on the new <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/2013-audi-a3-is-newer-than-it-looks.html">A2012 Audi A3 hatchback</a>, while it will also form the base for a great number of future VW Group models. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/spied-audi-takes-mqb-based-tt-mule-out.html#more">Read more »</a>

If you take closer look at the pictures that follow in the gallery below, you'll see that Audi has tapped off the corners of the Q5's grille to make it look like the current model. What the Germans don't won't you to see is the redesigned, hexagonal front grille, which is present on all new Audi models including the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/2013-audi-a3-is-newer-than-it-looks.html">2013 A3 hatchback</a>. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/spied-2013-audi-q5-to-receive-trivial.html#more">Read more »</a>

This means it's almost time for the Ingolstadt-based automaker to present the second generation model. The brand with the four rings has already started work on the new Q7 with a test mule that uses a modified version of current model's body shell to hide its new and lighter platform architecture. As you can see in these photos, the test mule's fenders are wider while it appears that the front overhang may be shorter. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/scoop-audi-spotted-testing-next.html#more">Read more »</a>
