German car maker Audi has been producing the A6 model since 1994; it is currently in its fourth generation of production. The current model went on sale last year and is available as a saloon and estate (Avant). When it was introduced in 1994 it replaced the Audi 100 as an executive saloon car, the 2011 model has followed that.
Most of the UK models will be sold as diesel models; customers will have a choice of a 2.0 litre unit with 175 bhp and a 3.0 litre unit with either 201 or 242 bhp. For petrol enthusiasts it will be available as a 2.8 litre petrol with near enough 300 bhp!
Being an Audi means that the A6 is packed with the latest and most innovative technology. The new Audi A6 in Surrey comes with all the gadgets from the new A8 with the addition of a head-up display and Active Lane Assist. It also features an optional full-LED head lighting system.
The S6 has become a very popular high performance Audi, in the new generation this is rumoured to be available only as an estate (Avant). All previous generation S6 models have been mainly sold in the Avant body style so this was expected.
The Audi S6 Avant is rumoured to get the single-turbo version of the new engine, with an output around 440bhp. A twin-turbo version with around 555bhp is believed to be reserved for the RS6 version but will be seen first in a new entry-level Bentley Continental GT V8.
Along with the S6 Audi may very well reveal the S7 and S8, the high performance versions of the new A7 and new A8. This will complete the S Range line up for Audi; all Saloon and hatchback models will have a high performance derivative.
