Restricting the 206 series to four-cylinder lumps only is a big deal, and – most likely – a mistake on Merc's part. Who, in the name of all things holy, would ever consider plonking down 115,174.15 euros on a brand-new C 63 with four cylinders while BMW M and Audi Sport offer six of them?

BMW isn't done with the fabulous twin-turbo I6 of the M3, and neither is Audi with its twin-turbo V6. The 2.9-liter engine will return to the RS 4 for the B10 generation, but similar to AMG, it will be assisted by an electric drive unit. Our spy photographers captured a camouflaged prototype of the next-gen RS 4 Avant back in January 2024, sporting massive flares and – obviously enough for a PHEV – a charging port door on the left side.

Two months later, two RS 4s have been spotted testing in Sweden rather than Germany. Before going any further, it should be mentioned that we're actually looking at the RS 5 Avant because Audi really likes to confuse everyone. The TL;DR take is odd numbers for combustion-engined vehicles and even numbers for electric vehicles (think Q4 e-tron and the upcoming Q6 e-tron).
