Please read the description for the  Audi 2000, A6, 4.2 L, V8 as proven by Motortrend

Audi's new 4.2-liter 40-valve V-8, with a potent 300 horsepower coursing through its output shaft, will significantly change the A6 equation, give it a considerably more exuberant personality, and solidify the model as the center of the marque's North American offensive. While it will also be shared with the A8 (in a 310-horse version), this thoroughly modern eight-cylinder engine will likely provide the most noticeable punch in the lightweight A6, which could give this model the same type of attraction to performance-enthusiasts that the 540i enjoys within the BMW lineup.Technical highlights of this V-8 include a five-valve configuration that uses three intake and two exhaust valves, an electronic "drive-by-wire" throttle, variable camshaft control, and a three-stage magnesium intake manifold, which helps mold a flat, useable torque curve that holds its peak of 296 pound-feet from 3000 to 4000 rpm.The 4.2's power doesn't come on with a gutsy snap, but with a strong, fleet-footed takeoff that's smooth, quiet, and quick. Although our initial test drive in Germany was hampered by snowy weather (which the Quattro system handled in stride), the 4.2 displayed good acceleration, ample passing power on the autobahn, and an eager willingness to go deep into triple digits. Its subtle, distinctive exhaust note identifying its presence, the V-8 blends seamlessly with the rest of the A6 package, enhancing the car's fun factor and liveability, without calling undue attention to itself. In short, the 4.2-liter brings out the performance potential we always longed for in the A6.

 

Audi tests show the 4.2 can run from 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. If consistent with our tests, this would put the 4.2 slightly off the pace of its primary competition-the BMW 540i, Mercedes-Benz E430, and Lexus GS 400-which all make the sprint to 60 mph in between 5.5 and 6.2 seconds.The V-8 feeds power to a five-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shifting, such as that used in the six-cylinder version. Power is then routed through Audi's Quattro full-time all-wheel-drive system to 235/50YR16 Dunlop SP5000 tires, mounted on 16-inch six-spoke wheels. For upgraded wheels and rubber, you could opt for a sport package, which adds 17-inch five-spoke wheels and 255/40YR17 Dunlop SP9000 high-performance tires, along with a tauter suspension and sport seats. Stopping, meanwhile, is effectively achieved with ventilated discs at all four wheels, high-performance four-piston aluminum calipers in the front, and ABS. Audi's Electronic Stability Program also adds an extra dimension of driver safety and control.To fit the V-8 comfortably into the A6 body, Audi reworked the car's front end, developing new aluminum hood and fenders, headlights, and bumper, which extends the car's front by about 1.6 inches. Other body changes from the current A6 include sill panel extensions along the lower edge, flared wheel openings, and a 1.4-inch-wider track. Meanwhile, a retuned suspension with new aluminum control arms has lowered the ride height by about 0.4-inch.Inside, the A6 4.2 offers a spoiling list of standard features. In addition to front airbags, the 4.2 includes side airbags for both front and rear passengers, plus Audi's new inflatable curtain-type bag, called Sideguard, designed to protect the heads of passengers in front and rear seats during a side impact. Another notable safety feature is the use of pretensioners at all three-point seatbelt locations. More improvements to the current A6's interior include steering-wheel-mounted audio controls that warn you of nearby objects, a larger-faced audio system with easier-to-access buttons and in-dash CD player, and revamped rear seat with more contoured outer positions and an expandable ski sack.On the options list is an acoustic parking system, Xenon headlights, hands-free telephone, and a scaled-down navigation system that's integrated into the driver information system in the instrument cluster. The system doesn't include a map display, but does provide visual and audio directions and is controlled through buttons in the center console.There's no denying that the 4.2-liter V-8 and its accompanying changes bring a welcome new dimension to the already inviting A6. Of course, with higher output and more overall potential comes higher pricing. While Audi isn't discussing specific pricing yet, the company assures us that it will be "fully competitive" with its primary competition, which should put it in the mid- to upper-$40,000 range. This also means higher expectations as it goes head to head with some of the world's best sport sedans. Is it up to the fight? Stay tuned.

Audi design getting big overhaul?

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Car and Driver has an update on the design shuffle in Ingolstadt that will ultimately bring more differentiation to Audi products. Last November, Audi design chief Wolfgang Egger spoke of the need to do "something new without breaking from tradition" in Audi design, but talk at the time centered on how the Crosslane Coupe Concept would influence the new looks of the brand's Q cars. The most recent moves appear focused on passenger cars, with designers from Volkswagen Group kin like Bentley and Seat moving to Audi, and outsiders from Alfa Romeo moving in.
While Egger decreed the end of "scalable design" to CD, last November's report said there would be more technology and "greater visual cohesion" between interior and exterior design. We still have no idea what all this means nor when we'll see visible changes in production, but at least we know there's something being done behind the scenes.

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues

Tue, Aug 2 2022

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident.  Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3.  "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly.  "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months.  Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
