QUICK INFORMATION ABOUT AUDI S6

Audi introduced an all-new range of Audi A6 models, based on the Volkswagen Group C5 platform. A new Audi S6, now officially known as the Audi S6 quattro appeared in 1999, to complement its A6 platform-mate. The body panels were largely based on the Audi A6 4.2 model, with slightly flared wheel arches and door sills, with the bonnet and front wings being constructed from aluminium.

The engine is managed by a Bosch Motronic MED 9.1 electronic engine control unit , which controls the mapped direct ignition, ten individual spark coils, common rail cylinder-direct sequential multi-point fuel injection, and drive-by-wire throttle. The same engine is used in the latest Audi D3 S8, but in a higher state of tune where it develops 331 kW , as the S6 is not to be positioned above the S8 in output. With the discontinuation of the S8 5.2 FSI after the 2009 model year and the RS 6 5.0 TFSI in late 2010, the S6 5.2 FSI and R8 5.2 FSI were the remaining Audi vehicles that have V10 engines. The S6 5.2 FSI was discontinued after the 2011 model year, shortly before the release of the 2012 Audi A6 .

The engine in the C6 S6 is an Odd firing all-aluminium alloy 5,204 cubic centimetres Fuel Stratified Injection 40-valve 90° V10 . This engine is often referred to as a derivative of Lamborghini’s 5.0-litre V10, but with longer stroke and wider bore to provide additional low end torque for use in the heavier sedan. The cylinder spacing is 90mm compared to 88mm for the Lamborghini engine. The V10 is based on the Audi 4.2-litre V8 engine.

The Audi S6 is the performance variant of the Audi A6, an executive car produced by German automaker Audi. In certain markets where the even-higher performance RS6 is not sold, the S6 is the most powerful A6 trim there. The S6, like all Audi «S» models, is fitted as standard with Audi‘s trademark quattro four-wheel drive system, the S6 using the Torsen-based permanent 4WD. Audi was restructuring their model lineup in early and mid-1990s, and in late 1994, began selling the fifth generation Audi 100 model, re-badged as the Audi A6.

The Audi S6 5.2 FSI quattro was introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January. The performance version of the C6 Audi A6, the S6 uses the Volkswagen Group C6 platform, and is available in saloon/sedan and Avant bodystyles. A facelifted version of the S6 was released in late 2008 for the 2009 model year. In 2010, the S6 gained Audi‘s third-generation MMI electronics controller and real-time traffic information.

The Audi S6 4.0 TFSI quattro and its mechanical twin S7 were launched as a 2013 models, a year after the C7 Audi A6 and Audi A7 were released. The Audi S6 and S7 are powered by a 4.0L DOHC twin-turbo V8 engine mated to a 7-speed S-tronic Double Clutch Gearbox. This engine makes 420 PS and 406 lb⋅ft of torque, plus there is a cylinder-on-demand system and a stop-start system for improved fuel economy. The 2013 Audi A8 shares the same engine, while the 2012 Audi S8 has a variant of the powerplant in a higher state of tune making 520 PS and 479 lb⋅ft of torque, both mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Higher output versions of this 4.0L DOHC twin-turbo V8 engine are found in the 2013 Audi RS6, 2013 Audi RS7, and 2016 Audi S8 Plus. The V8 performance option for the regular Audi A6, found in the 2004-11 Audi A6 4.2 FSI, has been discontinued and the S6 takes over as the engine upgrade. Audi unveiled the 2015 S6 facelift in November 2014. The Audi S6 C8 is powered by a 2.9 litre twin-turbo TFSI gasoline engine, producing 331 kW and 600 N⋅m of torque, allowing the car to reach 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

Despite its heft at 4,500 pounds, the S6 has quick reflexes and agility, with the assistance of Audi‘s quattro system. The S6 features two rows of five distinctive LED daytime running lamps along each side of the front bumper air intakes which indicates the 10-cylinder engine as a point of differentiation from other A6 models. The S6 Was given to MTM Motoren Technik Mayer producing a very limited test number of Audi S6 V10 in 2006 to 2007 this Program was discontinued. The company moved over to the RS6 in producing a more powerful Audi.

As with the previous generation, this C6 platform also generated an RS 6 version available for the model years 2008 to 2010, again developed and produced by quattro GmbH. This version of the RS6 included a 5.0-litre 4,991 cubic centimetres 90° V10 twin-turbocharged , Fuel Stratified Injection V10 engine, which produced 580 PS and 650 N⋅m . Available in both Avant and saloon bodystyles, it was Audi‘s single most powerful car. Official performance figures for acceleration from 0-100 km/h are 4.6 seconds for the Avant and 4.5 seconds for the saloon.

As this was the first S6 model from Audi, it is sometimes referred to as the Ur-S6, derived from the German augmentive, «Ursprünglich» . From its launch in late 1994, the Audi S6 was powered by a 2,226 cubic centimetres turbocharged inline five-cylinder petrol engine with a Bosch Motronic electronic engine control unit , producing a motive power output of 169 kW at 5,900 rpm, and 326 N⋅m at around 1,950 rpm, whilst consuming high octane «Super Plus» 98RON unleaded petrol. Unlike the five-cylinder turbocharged version, the V8-powered S6 was supplied with a four-plus-one-speed automatic transmission as standard, but kept the quattro four wheel drive. As a swan song to the C4 platform, an even more powerful, and very limited-production Audi S6 Plus was briefly available to European customers.
