As you might have already heard, Audi will slowly but steadily introduce battery-electric vehicles with even model numbers. To this effect, the current A6 will be replaced by the A6 e-tron. That, however, doesn't mean that the internal combustion-engined A6 series will be discontinued. On the contrary, the Volkswagen Group-owned automaker has been recently spied testing the S6 Avant's heir apparent.

Dubbed S7 Avant, the hi-po wagon slots between the A7 Avant and the RS 7 Avant. Pictured with camouflage on every single body panel and the rear windows, the newcomer also features a handful of high-voltage stickers that indicate a level of electrification for the internal combustion engine.

Audi fuel doors are usually located on the right rear quarter panel. Similar to the A6 50 TFSI e quattro, this fellow has a charging port door on the left rear quarter panel, therefore indicating plug-in hybrid assistance. We already know that the RS 7 Avant and Sportback are plug-in hybrids with twin-turbo V8 muscle and something like 700 horsepower on tap because BMW's next-gen M5 Touring and Sedan are PHEVs rated at over 700 horsepower.

Gifted with a Hyundai-esque front grille, four exhaust pipes split into two pairs, and wheels that look more at home on an A rather than an S, the camouflaged prototype is equipped with Continental SportContact 6 summer tires. Continental dubs them ultra-high-performance tires for passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs. Being a German company, it should come as no surprise that Continental AG supplies the Audi brand.
