The Audi A6 is
an executive car made by the German automaker Audi. Now in
its fifth generation, the successor to the Audi 100 is manufactured
in Neckarsulm, Germany, and is available in saloon and estate configurations,
the latter marketed by Audi.
All generations of the A6
have offered either front-wheel drive or Torsen based four-wheel
drive, marketed by Audi as their Quattro system. Second- and
third-generation A6 models have shared their platform with the
company's Allroad models.
Both petrol and diesel versions of the A6 are
offered. The wide ranges of engines available have power outputs ranging from
150 to 333 PS (110 to 245 kW). These are inline 4-cylinder
16-valve turbocharged engines and more powerful 3-litre units in a V6
configuration with a mechanical compressor.
