Product Overview

Audi S6 Avant C5 (Typ 4B) is a high-performance executive station wagon in production from 1999 to 2005. It was available with a single naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.2 liters.

The same engine could be found in the D2 S8, and it has proven to be one of the most reliable V8s to have come out of VAG's production lines. Unfortunately, the 5-speed ZF 5HP24A does not have the same reputation, and the 6-speed manual transmission is a far superior choice.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the C5 S6 Avant 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.
