It opened my heart knot for many years!

To look good, I choose a "car"
To be good looking and practical, I choose a "crock pot (station wagon)"
For appearance, practicality and performance, I choose a "high-performance crock pot"
To be beautiful, practical, performance at the same time but also environmentally friendly, how can this have... I may not have been able to give you an answer, but until it came along.
Recently, at the 2022 Audi annual media communication meeting, Oliver Hoffman, head of audi technology development, revealed that he will develop a high-performance version of the A6 Avant e-tron based on the PPE platform - "Audi RS 6 e-tron" to meet the pure electric extreme users.
Before writing, I really thought about it for a long time
As a "media guy" who has been in the industry for many years, the definition of performance cars in our hearts has always been based on the spiritual belief of "internal combustion engine", so we always think that pure electric performance cars will not come so fast, especially like the mainstream Audi RS, BMW M Power and Mercedes-Benz AMG will continue to use the engine roar to fill our adrenaline.
Perhaps we are too idealistic, at present, Audi and other car companies have made their attitude clear, determined that the new models launched after 2026 will be pure electric models, and plan to gradually stop the production of internal combustion engines after 2033. When I first heard this news, my heart was difficult to calm down, and the collapse of faith for many years was undoubtedly a blow to the head, but looking back and thinking carefully, all this was the trend of the times, and the so-called belief in the internal combustion engine or only the last wall of the heart.
It's time to admit that times have changed, manufacturers are pushing electric performance cars to the best proof, and the first tram that I began to accept may be the Audi RS 6 e-tron of the future "strongest crock pot"!
Absolute performance beast
Now that we're starting to accept it, let's talk about the specifics. First of all, the Audi RS 6 e-tron as a high-performance model, that must also abide by the principle of "power first", the appearance of the interior what is first put aside.
It is understood that Audi RS 6 e-tron and A6 e-tron are not "oil to electricity", but a pure electric product of Zhenger Bajing, which is based on the PPE pure electric platform jointly developed by Audi / Porsche, that is to say, hard power has an absolute basic guarantee.
Among them, the ordinary A6 Avant e-tron is equipped with a front and rear dual motor four-wheel drive system, the maximum power can reach 350kW (476PS), the peak torque is 800N·m, 0-100km/h acceleration is less than 4 seconds, the overall data is comparable to the power performance of the current Audi S6, and for the performance beast such as RS 6 e-tron, the maximum power is expected to exceed 441kW (600PS), and the peak torque will exceed 1000N·m, 0-100km/ h Acceleration time is controlled within 3 seconds (this power V8 does not feel fragrant).
At the same time, for the battery system that everyone is most concerned about, Audi RS 6 e-tron is also fully equipped for you, with reference to the current A6 e-tron, it is foreseeable that RS 6 e-tron is likely to be equipped with a ternary lithium battery system of more than 100kWh, with the PPE platform efficient electronic control system, it is expected to achieve a pure electric endurance of about 600km (slightly shorter than A6 e-tron, after all, to match the high-performance motor) At the same time, it will also support the same 800V supercharger system of Porsche Taycan (J1 platform), with a charging power of up to 270kW, which means that it can travel 300+ km in 10 minutes of charging, and about 25 minutes can charge the battery capacity from 5% to 80%.
Although the official appearance of the Audi RS 6 e-tron has not been officially announced, this still can't stop me, a "crock pot fanatic" from speculating about him.
According to the renderings of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron and exposure released in March, it can be predicted that the Audi RS 6 e-tron will carry out a sporty process on the basis of the A6 e-tron, the first of which is to adjust the original mid-point array texture to resemble a honeycomb texture, and also to carry out a blackening process, thus making the entire front face more aggressive; at the same time, the matrix LED headlights on both sides not only have OLED digital projection technology. More RS-exclusive dynamic effects will also be added.
As the most essential part of a crock pot, the Audi RS 6 e-tron's flowing body lines and unique D-pillar design make it really difficult to refuse the overall visual effect.
The aerodynamic performance of 0.24 also writes the word "efficient" on the face. Although the original A6 Avant e-tron's huge diffuser on the rear has been very aggressive, it is expected that the RS 6 e-tron will add more aerodynamic components on this basis, thereby improving the ultimate handling stability of the vehicle.
For the interior, at present, neither the A6 e-tron nor other PPE platform models have been revealed too much, but according to the official introduction, the performance of the model space under the PPE platform will far exceed that of the same level of fuel vehicles and the existing MEQ pure electric platform models (representative models: Q4 e-tron), and will have a smarter and more luxurious new car experience.
Pure electric performance car, I see the line
As a professional car editor, there are countless cars that have been tested and written, but I have been thinking about it for a long time when writing this article, this Audi pure electric RS may be just a new pure electric car that is about to be released for most people, but for me, this is the "key" that opens my heart knot of fuel cars, because it seems to see the direction of the future car.
Back to the last century, the early days of automobile popularization, because the emergence of the Ford Model T (Ford Model T) made the car begin to enter the homes of ordinary people, and then the rise of various high-performance cars and car events, so that the car is no longer just a means of transportation, but has become the spiritual belief of more and more people; and I think this law also applies to new energy vehicles, and in the future, with the release of "pure electric performance cars" such as RS 6 e-tron, more and more consumers will pry the gap in happiness like me. Begin to embrace this "silent" age of the automobile.
Finally, I want to pluck up the courage to say, "Electric cars, in fact, are quite fragrant!" ”
