Audi A6 News

Audi’s Allroad models are essentially jacked-up version of the automaker’s wagons that have also been fitted with a quattro all-wheel-drive system, grippy wheels and protective elements for the body. The cars are designed for those individuals seeking soft-road capability but aren’t willing to upsize to a proper SUV. We only get an A4-based Allroad here in the United States but overseas there’s one based on the A6 as well. Now, the A6 Allroad lineup has been expanded with performance-enhanced Sport trim. Audi’s new Sport trim is available here on the A8, and...

Vote For How Audi's Super Bowl Ad Will End: Video
Audi has had a pretty good run of luck with its recent Super Bowl advertising. In 2011, they asked viewers to say goodnight to stuffy, pretentious luxury and embrace the modern take on it by buying an Audi instead of a Mercedes-Benz. Based on the increase in Audi’s U.S. sales, we’d say...

If you see this behind you on the road, don't bother moving over. It'll get past. The kids in the back will even wave as it goes by. It's the 2014 Audi RS 6 Avant, and it's just gone official following a spate of leaked images earlier today. Rated at 560 horsepower courtesy of a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine, the RS 6 gets to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds. That puts it in Corvette ZR1 territory--with a backseat and cargo space. And it's 220 pounds lighter than the previous RS 6 Avant. Quattro all-wheel drive helps the acceleration, of course, as well as providing a fair degree of all-weather...

Audi A6? In China, It's Privilege, Status And A Hint Of Corruption
A local Chinese restaurant's name has always been puzzling: A8 China. It doesn't roll right off the tongue or follow the convention of having "garden," "kitchen" or "panda" worked in somewhere. It could be assurance of top billing on Yellow Pages.com and mobile apps like Urbanspoon, but our...

Like Volvo's XC line of cars and the Subaru Outback (and to a lesser extent the upcoming Impreza XV), which are essentially toughened, high-riding versions of more mundane family station wagons, the 'allroad quattro' moniker applies to off-road enhanced vehicles based on Audi’s Avant wagon lineup. Sadly, Audi doesn’t offer its current allroad quattro lineup in the U.S., though we did get to sample the A4 allroad quattro back in 2009. We now have a fresh batch of spy shots depicting the next-generation A6 allroad quattro due out in Europe in the second half of next year. Based on...
