Audi A6
C6 (sixth-generation)
Audi A6The new A6 (C6-design) came in 2004.
The new model is a larger car (492 cm) with
more sophisticated technology. Most notably
is the MMI (Multi Media Interface) which is
an optional system controlling radio, satellite
navigation, climate control and (when available)
suspension settings through a central screen
interface. On the engine side the new FSI
direct injection technology was introduced
for the first time outside the race track.
Although the line of engines represents the
same progression as the former model, all
engines were new. The Multitronic automatic
transmission continues as an alternative alongside
a new 6-speed Tiptronic gearbox available
in the high end models. Quattro four wheel
drive is available in most of the lineup,
and standard in the most powerful models.
Like the previous model,
the A6 is available with other body options.
The Avant arrived during the course of 2005,
while in China, a longer version was introduced
in the same year, named A6 L (the A8 is not
sold in this country). The Allroad model is
slated to make its debut during 2006. The
sporting S6 was introduced in the Frankfurt
Motor Show, with sales beginning in early
2006. It is powered by a Lamborghini-derived
V10.
