[R&T] This illustration hints at what the future sport-themed 2012 Audi RS 7 will look like when it debuts in 2011. Under the hood, expect a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that, if rumors prove correct, could provide nearly 600 bhp. That monster power output could fire a warning shot across the bows of rivals, especially BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The rest of the RS 7 will remain true to the form of the standard A7 Sportback. The RS 7 will be one of the hottest haulers in the U.S. when it officially debuts late next year.
