Product Overview

Audi S6 C7 (Typ 4G) is an executive sports sedan in production from 2012 to 2014, whereupon it received a facelift. It was powered by a single bi-turbo V8 TFSI engine that displaced 4.0 liters.

For the first time in the history of S6s, the C7 S6 used a 7-speed DCT rather than traditional torque converter automatic transmission. Like before, no manual transmission was offered.

Variants of the V8TT engine has since been featured in all higher-end Audi, Porsche, and indeed Bentley vehicles. While its output is quite thrilling, the complexity means that long-term relationship may be unwise.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the C7 S6 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
