2015 Audi S6 Sedan test drive

The 4.0 TFSI, a biturbo V8 producing 331 kW (450 hp), accelerates the Sedan from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.4 seconds. The Audi S6 Avant completes the sprint in 4.6 seconds. Average fuel consumption is just 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers (25.6 US mpg) in the Sedan and 9.4 liters (25.0 US mpg) in the Avant, the equivalent of 214 and 219 grams CO2 per kilometer (344 and 352.4 g/mi), respectively. This efficiency is due in large part to the cylinder on demand (COD) system, which only activates four of the eight cylinders when under part load.
Standard equipment in the new Audi S6 and S6 Avant includes quattro permanent all‑wheel drive and the adaptive air suspension, which lowers the body by 20 millimeters (0.8 in). Matt black brake calipers grip the front discs mounted behind the 19‑inch wheels.
New infotainment:
The new A6 models are also way ahead of the competition when it comes to infotainment, with configurations ranging up to MMI navigation plus with MMI touch. The top-of-the-line navigation system with the power-retractable eight‑inch monitor is now based on a new technology platform that uses the fast Tegra 30 graphics chip from Audi’s partner Nvidia. The supplemental module Audi connect transfers data via the fast LTE standard and brings tailored online services into the car, including new media streaming apps.
