For sure they were inspired by the seemingly great success of the RS 6 Avant here.

LOL.

Maybe there will be an EV version to take on the Taycan.

Edit: Hmmm. Possibly a PHEV with V8 power https://www.motor1.com/news/594742/b...-return-rumor/

Allegedly the next Gen M5 will have the S68 or a version of it. The S68 will be in multiple platforms beginning with the the X7 M60i LCI, followed by the XM, and the X5 M60i LCI. It is a mild hybrid right out of the gate.
