It might not be official, but according to a recent report the Ingolstadt officials are indeed considering making it.
If it does get the go-ahead, then chances are it will look similar to this so-good-it-looks-real rendering.
Initial info indicate that the super-estate might gain a beefed up Allroad version, which should combine the RS6 with the A6 Allroad. If this turns out to be true, then we expect a raised suspension system, underbody protection and plastic body cladding.
Things get much more interesting when you factor the the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the RS6 in the equation.
Assuming they will keep it intact, then customers will get no less 605PS (596hp) and 700Nm (516lb-ft) of torque distributed to all four wheels via the quattro system. Stunning performance combined with space and practicality. What a nice combination, isn’t it?
