We're the original owners of this 2002 Audi S6 Avant. I purchased this car for my wife the year our daughter was born and it's been her kid transporter for the past 12 years. The only notable event in the car's history was a minor accident (doesn't even show up on Autocheck) several years ago where the passenger front quarter panel was damaged (no other damage). It was cosmetic only and the panel was replaced with an OEM aluminum front quarter panel by a top quality shop and you'd never know it happened. The car has never been smoked in and has never been driven hard or modified in any way.

The vehicle exterior is in pretty good shape considering it's age, the exception being the driver front quarter panel where someone left a nice dent in a parking lot (please see pic)... a paint-less dent repair person could probably improve the look quite a bit since the paint isn't chipped or cracked. There are some scratches on the rear bumper (inevitable in all the school parking lots) and a couple of minor door dings. I tried to capture the flaws in pics as best I could. This S6 has been garaged all its life so the paint looks great.

The interior shows very typical wear on the rubber surfaces (around the headlight switch and the hvac buttons) but everything works as it should including heated seats, 6-disc cd changer, a/c, power seats, sunroof, power windows, central locks, etc. with the only exception being the navigation (one of the kids stepped on the controller when they were smaller)... it could be fixed quite easily by replacing the console controller but it's such an archaic system my wife didn't use it anyway (still have all the navigation discs though). The leather is in very good condition with no rips or tears or excessive wear (treated regularly with a good quality conditioner).

Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. All service has been done at Danbury Audi for the past 7 years or so since we moved to CT and no expense was spared. All 4 rotors and pads were replaced (as well as some suspension bushings) within the past year and the radiator was replaced a few months ago due to a slow leak. Other items that have been replaced recently due to age include the oil cooler and pipe, the coolant expansion tank, turn signal stalk, engine air filter, cabin pollen filter, coolant temperature sensor and thermostat. Major service was done on time (belts/water pump). Continental tires have good tread remaining. New battery last fall. Engine is strong and transmission shifts as smoothly as it did 12 years ago.

Includes both keys and original books and even the window sticker. Happy to send specific high res pics on request.

Shuffle at Lamborghini sends CEO to Quattro GmbH

Tue, Feb 23 2016

A management shakeup in Volkswagen Group's high-performance divisions will make Stephan Winkelmann (above) the new chief executive of Audi's Quattro GmbH on March 15. On the same day, former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will replace Winkelmann as Lambo's boss. These changes are necessary because current Quattro chief Heinz Hollerweger is retiring. Rumors of these exact shifts cropped up in Italian media in December. Winkelmann began leading Lamborghini in 2005, and he has been at the helm for massive growth at the company. In 2015, the Italian supercar maker delivered a record 3,245 vehicles, and it had just set its previous best of 2,530 units in 2014. His new role at Quattro GmbH puts Winkelmann in charge of Audi's equivalent to M at BMW or AMG at Mercedes-Benz. The division is responsible for the Four Rings' R and RS production models, the Audi Sport customer racing program, and Audi Exclusive customization service. "In the future, the Audi Sport brand is to be positioned more clearly," the company's announcement said, which hints at one of Winkelmann's duties. Domenicali has been closely associated with Lamborghini rival Ferrari during his career and had years of experience within the automaker's racing team. He started in financing at the Prancing Horse in 1991 and moved to business planning for the Scuderia Ferrari F1 squad in 1993. He held many positions there and eventually ascended to the top as team principal in 2008. Domenicali resigned from leadership in 2014 because of the team's poor performance, but Audi quickly snapped him up as its as Vice President New Business. He now gets the reins of one of Italy's premiere supercar makers. Related Video: Stephan Winkelmann to be new CEO of quattro GmbH As of March 15, 2016, Stephan Winkelmann (51) will be the new CEO of quattro GmbH, a 100 percent subsidiary of AUDI AG, which produces and distributes the high performance R and RS models. Winkelmann was President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. since January 1, 2005. Heinz Hollerweger (62), the current Head of quattro GmbH, is to retire after almost 40 years of successful work for Audi. "With his experience from more than eleven years in charge of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann will be a key contributor to the further growth of quattro GmbH," says Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG.

Audi RS Q3 gets snarlier, hits 62 mph in 4.8 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Well, that was quick. A mere 20 months after its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Audi has issued a fairly significant update to its RS Q3 crossover. A light exterior refresh - the most noticeable change is that the grille surround and headlights are now joined - belies more significant changes under the compact crossover's hood.
Power from the 2.5-liter, turbocharged five-cylinder has been boosted nicely from 310 horsepower to 340, while torque has jumped from 309 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft. The result of this extra thrust is that the tiny CUV can now scamper to 62 miles per hour in a seriously quick 4.8 seconds, rather than the original RS Q3's 5.5-second sprint. A new fifth-generation multi-plate clutch is fitted to the seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, which Audi claims will now deliver even quicker shifts.
Lighter brake rotors with ridiculous eight-piston calipers in the front provide what we imagine is a lot of stopping power, while Audi continues to offer an optional adaptive damper system. 19-inch wheels are standard while 20s are optional.

Next Audi R8 caught on the 'Ring

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Now that we're kinda-sorta-maybe-slowly thawing out from this horrible winter, automakers are moving away from the harsh extremes of winter testing and taking their new wares for laps around the infamous Nürburgring. What better way to kick off the sports car testing season than some fresh shots of the next-generation Audi R8 supercar?
Despite the slick coupe's shape not changing too much, details under that camouflage reveal styling elements that are more squared off and angular - similar to what Audi has done with its 2015 TT coupe. Don't be fooled by those square taillamp holes in the camo out back, either - look closely and you'll see a stylish LED lamp design.
Expect some 100 to 200 pounds to be shaved off the next R8's curb weight.
