Audi will fully electrify the RS6's next generation when it debuts next year. However, that doesn't mean the car's V8 will be going anywhere.

Reportedly, the combustion-engined variant will make as much as 720 horsepower. Moreover, Audi will expand the body styles offered by the RS6. It won't just be a wagon anymore, with a new sedan body in the works as well.
