โ๏ธAudi has officially scrapped its EV-only by 2033 plan, citing weak consumer demand and shifting market conditions.
Instead, Audi will keep developing combustion engines and hybrids for at least another decade, abandoning its 2026 cutoff for ICE models.
The next-generation RS6, arriving in 2026, will keep a twin-turbo V8, now paired with hybrid tech for extra punch and efficiency.
Rumors swirl that prototypes sound like a V6, but Audi insists the RS6โs V8 heartbeat isnโt going anywhere yet.
This move mirrors Mercedes and BMW, who also delayed going all-in on EVs, showing a wider industry backpedal from strict deadlines.
Enthusiasts get what they want: the roar of a V8 lives on, even as Audi adapts to a hybrid-electric future.
