Audi’s New RS Q6 Is Essentially A Porsche With Different Badges

Image
The Audi RS Q6 Sportback e-tron was spied testing at the Nürburgring. The electric coupe gets a sharper face, fender vents, and a new diffuser. It will likely use dual motors and all-wheel drive with around 600 hp. It’s been nearly two years since spy photographers last spotted the Audi RS Q6 Sportback e-tron, but it’s back on the Nürburgring and gearing up for a possible debut later this year. Designed to slot above the SQ6 Sportback , the high-performance variant features a unique front fascia with a more aggressive lower intake. It features angular accents, honeycomb mesh inserts, and triangular elements with horizontal bars. We can also see a special surround, which recalls the look of AUDI models in China and features vertical air curtains at the outside edges.

Jim Farley Praised Chinese Cars, Now He Wants Them Banned From America

Image

Ford’s F-150 Starts At $87,000 In Australia, And BYD Thinks That’s An Opportunity

Image
BYD is developing a rival to the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevy Silverado. The “super-sized” truck is a response to strong customer demand in Australia. Company is also reportedly considering an EV counterpart to the Shark 6. BYD isn’t content with just taking on the Ford Ranger . China’s most successful automaker is already looking to move up a weight class to challenge the Ford F-150. That next step won’t involve the US market, though, as this larger model is being developed with Australia in mind. BYD’s first pickup in Australia, the Shark 6 , arrived in late 2024 wearing a face that looked more than a little inspired by the F-150. At 5,457 mm (214.8 inches) long, it sits just beyond the typical midsize footprint and comes equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Image
A 1985 Mercedes W123 has covered just 18,000 miles from new. A Mercedes specialist recently serviced and refurbished the diesel. Shockingly, it still has its original 1985 tires, so it will need new ones. Many modern cars lack even an ounce of personality, serving simply as a means of transport for those looking to get from point A to point B. This 1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 300D Turbo couldn’t be any different. Mercedes-Benz models from this era are known for exceptional build quality and engines that can run for decades. What makes this example stand out is its just 18,000 miles (around 29,000 km) since new, making it one of the lowest-mileage cars of its kind in the United States. Read: $54M Mercedes W 196 R Is One Of The Most Expensive Cars Ever Sold Listed for auction through Bring a Trailer, the car was reportedly sold new in Massachusetts and includes an accident-free Carfax report, despite its age.
