Selling my Used 2002 Audi S6 Avant 4.2L
This car is Extremely well maintained. I am selling this car primarily because I purchased an A3 TDI for better gas mileage. This car is wicked fast and handles like a 2 door coupe sports car. The S6 truly is the perfect car for someone who wants space and sport. The car has had over $5000 in maintenance, repairs and upgrades in the past two years. If I had to rate the car I would say the exterior is a 7.5/interior a 9 Here are some of the repairs: *New transmission 200 miles ago. *New front brakes and rotors *Valve cover gaskets were replaced last fall *All oil sensors were replaced and new gaskets were installed. *Exhaust manifold gaskets were replaced. *Power steering was flushed and new washers and gaskets were installed (almost a rebuild) *19" gunmetal grey wheels were installed and brand new performance tires were mounted this spring. *CV Boots were done *Coolant flush done last fall *Timing belt and water pump were done at around 87,000 miles I know I am missing something but those are the main ones. I have the receipts for every repair done. Here is the story of what this car is: The Audi S6 boasts a very strong 4.2-liter, 340-hp V8 engine, a performance-tuned version of the one that sat in the Audi A8. But not a lot of aftermarket performance parts were made for the S6 due to it being a relatively rare car. There were only about 900 sent over to the U.S. and it was only in production for 2002 and 2003, so the second generation Audi S6 is somewhat unique and rare on the road, adding to its stylish cache. Although after its initial demise in 2003, the third generation S6 has made a come back in 2007. The second generation S6 only came as a wagon, meaning it offered the space, cargo capacity, and practicality of a family car, the confident road grip of quattro, plus the sports car-like handling of a flashier racer....its a low key rocket. With a power-to-weight ratio of 184.57 bhp/ton, this 4000lb wagon does 0-62mph in about 6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited 155 mph, some have said given enough road the car could reach the better side of 180mph. It features all of the interior amenities Audi prides itself on offering, as well as sporty touches in its distinct grille, dual exhaust pipes, and brushed aluminum mirror moldings. The negative of this car: *small rust bubbles on rear hatch below the window (very easy fix as it is just bubbles *exterior paint has minor scratches. They are not bad and expected for the year of the car. *minor paint chip on rear bumper that is only visible when close up Specifications

Audi building 50 camouflaged Jon Olsson Edition A4 Avant wagons [w/video]
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Swedish Autoblog readers, have you been driving your Audi A4 Avant wagons and thought, 'You know, I really wish my car looked more like a camouflaged World War II battleship?' Well, great news for you, as skier and Audi enthusiast Jon Olsson has teamed up with the German brand's Swedish outfit to offer this new limited-edition A4 Avant.
Finished in a camo patterned after Olsson's own RS6 Avant (which you can view in the video below) and slope-ready Lamborghini Gallardo, the Jon Olsson Camo Edition will cost fans of Smörgåsbord 399,900 Swedish Krona ($62,071 at today's rates). For that sum, you'll get the aforementioned A4 Avant wrapped in the Olsson-designed camo, as well as sport seats, a roof box, Xenon headlights, black 19-inch wheels shod in winter rubber, a sport suspension and Audi's S-Line exterior treatment. The Camo Edition will only be available with the 2.0-liter TDI engine and Quattro all-wheel drive.
There will only be 50 examples made, so we'd strongly recommend interested parties get down to their local Swedish Audi dealer. And if you want to see what the Camo Edition looks like in motion, scroll down for the video of Olsson's Audi RS6 Avant, finished in a similar pattern, running around Switzerland. We've also included the translated press release from Audi of Sweden. Have a look.
Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.
Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
