Super TestCar reviews - Audi - A6 - S6 sedanAudi modelsSuspension3 Aug 2001 THE S6 suspension configuration is fully independent, comprising a four-link set-up at the front and a trapezoidal link at the rear. An anti-roll bar is provided at each end. Following principles used in the A6 4.2 quattro, the lightweight, aluminium suspension construction is taken a step further in the S6 with the use of new aluminium subframes front and rear. The rear-axle subframe is a welded structure made up of cast elements and extruded sections. The aluminium subframes result in a total weight reduction of 10.8kg compared with the use of steel. Audi claims progressive-rate springs ensure well-balanced performance from the suspension, despite the lowered body and shorter spring travel. Did you know?The chassis of the Audi S6 has been lowered by a further 10mm compared with the A6 4.2 quattroAll 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 |
