How does a 677 horsepower and 701 lb-ft of torque twin turbo hybrid Audi RS9 sound? Audi Prologue concept gets some muscle

[Sticky]

AudiBoost took a look at the Audi Prologue Concept at the LA Auto Show last year and it certainly was a nice looking car. Under the hood Audi stated they had a 605 horsepower 516 lb-ft of torque 4.0 TFSI V8 that was a tweaked unit borrowed from the RS7 and RS6 models.

You can think of that early Prologue Concept as an S9. Audi decided to give the car some steroids and what looks to be 'RS' treatment. The result is 677 horsepower and 701 lb-ft of torque by adding an electric drivetrain into the mix.

The car looks much meaner than the previous concept with new wheels and an aggressive stance. It certainly looks the part and if Audi does produce an A9 let's hope they keep the design elements in tact.

Most people are not paying attention to the drivetrain (we sure are) but that an Audi employing similar technology drove itself to the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) which certainly is a big deal. However, if you have 701 lb-ft of torque under your right foot do you really even want the computers to be doing the driving?

A range topping RS9 sounds great to AudiBoost. It probably does not sound great to the bean counters. Don't just tease us with something this awesome Audi.
