ordered production to close. By the end of this October 2004, 8,081 RS6 quattros will have been produced.

Despite the recent news that the folks in charge of producing and developing Audi's line of RS cars will be cutting down on the power, they will continue to experiment with new models. Although it hasn't been made official, the Neckarsulm-based workshop will start producing the next generation of RS4 which is expected to arrive next autumn. Insiders are also hinting that plans for a first generation RS3 based off of Audi's compact A3 is in development, as is a second-generation RS6 based off of the new A6.
