Product Overview
Audi S6 is the high performance variant of the A6. In the fifth generation, the S6 comes in both sedan and wagon (Avant) forms. Unlike its predecessor, which had a V8 bi-turbo powerplant, the new S6s have downsized engines. In Europe, it is powered by a 3.0L TDI V6, while outside Europe a 2.9L bi-turbo V6 takes its place.
