The S6 hasn't been officially announced yet, but indeed there is a near consensus agreement that the S6 will switch to the 2.9L TT V6, leaving the V8 to become exclusive to the RS6. This is the same route that Mercedes has taken with the E Class - the E43 has a V6 (soon to become the E53 with an I6), while the V8 is exclusive to the E63.

BTW, I'm surprised that they advertise diesel numbers in the video considering that Europe is banning them and few companies already announced no future for diesels.
Porsche is reneging on that recent comment, BTW.

If Audi doesn't offer a diesel, they'll get killed in the marketplace (outside the US, I mean) by BMW and Mercedes who do offer diesels. Diesels obviously have an uncertain future, but clearly they are going to be around for at least a few more years, if not longer.
