Still think the
BMW X6 is a dumb idea? Well, you're not alone, but given that the "Sports Activity Coupe" has reportedly sold more than double its original projections, you'd also appear to be betting against the market. Apparently
Audi can't ignore those kind of numbers, spurring reports that Ingolstadt is preparing a coupe-like crossover of its own.
Tentatively dubbed (predictably enough) the Q6, the slant-roofed Audi crossover would slot in between the
Q5 and
Q7. Sources suggest it will be based on the same platform that underpins the
Volkswagen Touareg and
Porsche Cayenne (as well as the Audi Q7, albeit in an extended form).
Engines would naturally borrow from the Audi parts bin, but a hybrid version like the Touareg and Cayenne is also reportedly in the cards. As is a potential RS version, which would have another go at the
on-again,
off-again reports of Quattro GmbH delving into the hyperpower CUV game to battle the AMG-fettled
Mercedes-Benz ML and
BMW's X5 and
X6 M.
