Will Audi build it? They'd be insane not to, especially with chief rival BMW readying its all-new 645 Ci, that will undoubtedly spring forth a superpowered M6 variant. Audi would offer its coupe with a more modest powertrain in base form and something nearing the Nuvolari in RS trim. Now that's something worth aspiring to.
