Rendered: Sneak peak of the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant

The talented Jon Sibal has produced a new render that gives us a very realistic sneak peak of the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant.

There has been a lot of speculation out there about what the car will look like and we think that Jon has come the closest with this image.
