The previous-generation S6 had a V-8 engine developing 340 horsepower. The twin-turbo RS 6 started life with 450 horsepower and ended up with 480. In the interim, Audi complicated things by endowing the smaller S4 with the 340-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 and the RS 4 with a direct-injection V-8 that makes 420 horsepower. The 2005 Tokyo show saw the debut of the S8, with a Lamborghini-derived V-10 and 450 horsepower. All of this made us wonder how the new S6 would be positioned. After all, it has to upstage the S4 but stay below the S8 in the corporate pecking order. At the Detroit show in January, we found out. The S6 has the S8's 5.2-liter V-10, but with its maximum output reduced by 15 horsepower to 435. And, yes, there will be a new RS 6, which is more than a year away and promises to outgun the 500-hp BMW M5. Audi will tell you this is all logical, that each model has a specific purpose and its own niche in the market. In the case of the S6, Audi maintains it is not just another contender in the German horsepower race. It's intended as a fast touring car rather than an out-and-out road racer and is purposely understated so it looks hardly any different from the A6. The S6 certainly avoids the visual excess of some super-powerful sedans. There is little outward differentiation from the A6: bright vertical struts for the deep single-frame grille, flared wheel arches and rocker panels, special 19-inch wheels, and daytime running lights consisting of two rows of LEDs under the front bumper. Audi would have you know that there are 10 LEDs in total, corresponding to the engine's cylinders, although the discreet V-10 badges on the car's flanks are another reminder. There is also nothing intimidating about driving the S6. The engine, which makes a strong, gutsy noise and should propel the car to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, is docile when you want it to be; the six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission works easily, whether controlled by the steering-wheel paddles or left to its own devices. Like all Audi high-performance cars, the S6 has four-wheel drive. After years of promoting the even front-to-rear torque split of the Quattro system, Audi has given the S6 (and the S8 and latest RS 4) a 40/60 rear-biased distribution. This attempt to match the handling characteristics of its rear-drive rivals works - to a point. In a session on a tight, twisty test track, the S6 proved more agile than its predecessor but still felt front-heavy and understeered when being hustled hard; that's not surprising, really, because that's a big engine nestled between the headlights. On public roads in Germany, slick from recent rain, we were reminded, however, of the security provided by four-wheel drive in a powerful car. The V-10 is basically a Lamborghini Gallardo powerplant that's been altered for use in a front-engine sedan. The accessories are tidier to fit in the tighter engine bay, the bore has been increased (displacement is 5.2 liters versus 5.0), and the rev range was curtailed. When installed in the S8, the V-10 makes 450 horsepower, but thanks to different intake and exhaust systems, the S6 makes do with 435. Whereas the S8 is air-sprung, the S6 has steel springs and nonadjustable shocks. It also does without Audi's dynamic ride control, a cross-car connection of the shock absorbers to maintain body control, that was introduced with the RS 6 and is fitted to the RS 4. The S6 is uncompromisingly stiff and jolts and bounces uncomfortably over bumps. This spoils a car that is otherwise admirably suited to its role as a fast grand tourer and negates Audi's claim that the S6 is "the most refined sports sedan in its segment." Mind you, neither its segment nor its direct competitors are very clear. The Jaguar S-type R, cheaper and not quite as quick, is smoother-riding, as is the more powerful and expensive BMW M5. |

2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Ignore the naysayers who say the Audi R8 is too refined to be a proper supercar, or that it has begun to show its age - after a few tweaks for the 2014 model year, the automaker's flagship remains one of my favorite exotics.
Audi has treated all of its R8 models to a host of enhancements for the 2014 model year that include new LED headlights and tail lamps, larger steering wheel-mounted shift paddles, new exhaust finishes, updated alloy wheel designs and fresh exterior colors. However, the most significant news is the arrival of a proper seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission (it replaces the six-speed R-Tronic). The rapid-fire gearbox shaves a coupe tenths off the 0-60 sprint and improves fuel economy for both the eight- and ten-cylinder models (thankfully, a traditional six-speed manual is still on the order form).
I recently spent time with the new-for-2014 V10 Plus model, which is only available in a coupe body style. Compared to the standard V10 models, the Plus sheds upwards of 130 pounds thanks to lightweight manual seats (not fitted to my test car), carbon-ceramic brakes, reduced sound bay insulation, a smaller fuel tank and an assortment of carbon-fiber pieces (including side blades, front splitter, rear diffuser and spoiler). But that's not all, as the V10 Plus also receives a bump in output that pushes its ten-cylinder to an even 550 horsepower.
Editors' Picks September 2021 | Genesis GV70, Grand Cherokee L and more
Mon, Oct 11 2021This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a few top-notch crossovers and SUVs, plus one luxury sportback. Manufacturers keep rolling out excellent new crossovers, and the Genesis GV70 and Jeep Grand Cherokee L are great examples. Plus, living the good life with our long-term Hyundai Palisade has been evidence enough that it's worthy of an editors' pick. Read on below for the full breakdown and see what made the cut for September. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Genesis GV70 2022 Genesis GV70 at Mt St Helens View 37 Photos Quick take: Genesis' first shot at a compact luxury crossover is a strong one that moves the segment forward and makes for an excellent alternative to one of the many other established options. Score: 8 What it competes with: BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Volvo XC60, Lincoln Corsair, Infiniti QX50, Porsche Macan Pros: Gorgeous looks inside and out, forward-looking tech, good ride and handling balance Cons: Nothing budget about it, no true performance option From the editors Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — "Blending style and power, the GV70 shows Genesis is serious about delivering a strong execution in a critical segment. Props to Genesis for its risk-taking design, which has remade its lineup with confidence. The GV70 is just the latest in a series of wins for Genesis." In-depth analysis: 2022 Genesis GV70 First Drive Review | The real deal  2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L View 35 Photos Quick take: The 2022 Grand Cherokee L is inarguably immense, swank, and much better on-road than the previous SUV. It even keeps up the Jeep tradition of being great off-road while still carrying tons of passengers and gear.
Audi S1 nearly ready to rocket euros out of your pocket
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Audi was out testing its upcoming S1 on the streets of Germany when our trusty spy photographers snapped the new, all-wheel-drive hot hatch that's set to succeed the limited-edition A1 Quattro.
Unlike the A1 Quattro, the S1 should sport a much less aggressive look overall. As shown in the spy shots, its wheel wells lack the meaty flairs of its predecessor while its rear wing is much more subdued. The wheels are more in line with what we expect from Audi's S models and its higher ride height is more conducive to common things like steep driveways and speed bumps that the 333-unit A1 Quattro might not encounter.
According to our spies, the S1 should hit the European market with anywhere from 220 to 250 horsepower, making it considerably more potent than competitors like the Ford Fiesta ST or Polo GTI from its parent company, Volkswagen (although it'll likely arrive at a considerably higher price than either of those pocket rockets). On the high end, that's roughly equal to the 252 ponies generated by the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four in the A1 Quattro
