Super TestCar reviews - Audi - A6 - S6 sedanAudi modelsThe Car3 Aug 2001 THOUGH it shares a number of styling cues with the Audi A6 4.2 quattro upon which it's based, the S6 has its own distinguishing characteristics such as unique wheels and grille. Flared wheel arches draw the eye to those 17-inch six-spoke wheels and low-profile Z-rated tyres, while the S-specific grille is finished in granite grey with vertical ribs and a chrome surround. Polished aluminium is used on the external mirrors and stainless steel on the pair of exhaust tailpipes. The body is 10mm lower than the A6 4.2 quattro. Aluminium is used on the hood and front side panel to save weight. Discreet S6 badging can be found on the grille and bootlid aluminium doorsill trims are also used. Did you know?Side members were extended 80mm on the Audi A6 4.2 quattro - and now the S6 - to accommodate the V8 engine, transmission and special exhaust system. The car's overall length also went up by 37mmAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
