2015 Audi S6 Review - AutoGuide.com
The Audi S4 is a tremendous machine. This Germanic sports sedan is fast, refined and able to please even the most jaundiced of drivers. But have the engineering elves in Ingolstadt been able to translate this excellence to a larger package. SEE ALSO: 2015 Audi S4 Review. The next rung on Audi’s performance ladder is the S6, a similarly styled sports sedan with larger dimensions and an extra helping of horsepower. Instead of a supercharged V6 this sports sedan is propelled by a 4. 0-liter V8 engine that’s augmented by a duet of turbochargers nestled in the typically wasted space found between the cylinder banks. Still, Audi’s engineering team found ways of cramming even more add-ons into the S6’s engine bay. Aside from forced induction the car’s V8 also features cylinder deactivation to curb excessive consumption, along with direct fuel injection, a feature that helps it deliver a stout 420 hp along with 406 lb-ft of peak torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic makes instantaneous work of gear changes and is unusually refined for a transmission of this type. Source: www.autoguide.com
