Many speculated about the introduction of Audi's RS4 in the United States, and globally for that matter. Well, it looks like the next-gen RS won't be a 4, but an upgraded RS6.

This news is coming out from the folks at Car & Driver, who know a thing or two about automotive news. They claim that "Audi will not be making a new RS4."

According to their reports, "Audi believes that the RS5 coupe has that part of the market covered and that it doesn't need a super sport sedan for the segment."

To replace that segment class, Audi will put their RS-production efforts towards the next RS6 model, which is likely to come with the auto maker's twin-turbo V8. Some reports state that the RS6 will come with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8, tuned up to about 592 cubic horsepower, which is the same as the company's rumored Audi RS7.

Some are wondering if Audi is really not going ahead with a sport sedan like the RS4, especially one which has "the longest history of wearing the RS-badge from the current lineup." Only time will tell.

New models from Audi will include upgraded suspension, and most with the aforementioned V6 or V8 turbocharged engines.
