Sophistication & Performance: 2017 Audi S6 sedan
The Audi S6 features a classic yet contemporary exterior appearance combined with impressive overall performance and efficiency. The long wheelbase and short overhangs gives the Audi S6 a performance-oriented that rivals its actual on-road performance. The Audi S6 exterior exhibits strength and agility, with its sloped roofline that provides exceptional aerodynamics and sporty driving characteristics.
Available in one well-equipped trim level, power for the S6 sedan is generated by a 4.4L twin turbocharged V8 engine. Torque is communicated through a seven-speed S tronic dual clutch automatic transmission with quattro all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive system features an asymmetric rear-biased torque distribution of 40/60 front/rear. The Audi S6 can go from zero-to-sixty times in 4.4 seconds.
The Audi S6 represents the spicy side of the Audi luxury sport sedan lineup. It features a lightweight hybrid construction of aluminum body panels with steel frame construction. This body structure consists of 20 percent aluminum content, combined with an aluminum suspension reduces unsprung weight and improves ride and handling.
Control hardware for the S6 consists of a sport calibrated five-line front suspension with upper and lower control arms with a stabilizer bar and a trapezoidal-line rear suspension with a stabilizer bar. In addition, Audi adaptive air suspension is standard.
Inside the passenger cabin, attention to detail in materials, fit and finish has resulted in an interior that is truly a respite from mediocrity. The spacious, driver-oriented cockpit of the S6 offers luxurious comfort and practical convenience, while remaining modern and understated.
Rounding out the interior are innovative technologies designed to assist drivers, such as available Audi MMI®, Google Earth™ combined with Google™ Local Search, Wi-Fi® hot spot for up to eight devices and the ability to find the lowest gas prices or view weather forecasts. In addition, the combination of the Wi-Fi connection and Bluetooth® audio streaming allows for seamless Internet radio and audio file streaming.
