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 A3 Sedan makes its world debut in NYC
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Audi is bringing some excitement to this year's New York Auto Show, showing off a 2014 A3 Sedan that will shortly be vying for attention in the luxury market's newly hot compact segment. The newly minted A3 faces immediate challenge from box-fresh small premium sedans like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and the Acura ILX, as well as players like the Buick Verano and the Lexus CT200h.
Of course, the German automaker will be the first to tell you that this new A3 is more than up to the challenge. Audi's typically high-level of design is in effect here, with sheet metal that is attractive without looking like a clone of the larger A4. The A3 will have the option of full LED headlamps, of course, carrying on Audi's now famous positioning in the world of recognizable lighting. Wheels will range from 16-inches to 18-inches, we're told, which will also help to cement the sporty look and premium placement of the small sedan.

Audi A3 named 2014 World Car of the Year
Thu, 17 Apr 2014As usual, the second press day of the New York Auto Show was kicked off by the World Car of the Year Awards. Rather than fluff things up, we'll cut right to the chase: top honors go to the brand-new Audi A3, which bested the Mazda3 and BMW 4 Series for the all-important award.
Of course, the wonderful thing about the World Car awards is that there isn't just one big announcement - other honors are given out for specific categories. Here are the other winners from this year's ceremony:
World Green Car of the Year: BMW i3
Autoblog editors choose their favorite racecars of all time
Thu, Feb 26 2015If you like cars, there is a good chance that you like racecars. There's something about the science and the art of going faster, of competition, of achievement, that accelerates the hearts of enthusiasts. It doesn't matter the series, the team or the manufacturer – there's something about racing that stirs emotions and lifts spirits. It's that way with many of you, and it's that way with our editors. With that in mind, we offer a list of our favorite racecars of all time. Of course, we'd like to hear some of yours in the comment section below. 1970 Porsche 917 Compared to some of the obscure choices by my colleagues, I feel like the Porsche 917 is almost so obvious a pick as to not be worth mentioning. Still, when coming up with my answer, my mind invariably went back to this classic racer – specifically in its blue-and-orange Gulf livery – while watching Le Mans on DVD and later Blu Ray with my dad. Long, low and curvaceous, few vehicles have ever looked sexier lapping a track than the 917. More than just a pretty face, this beauty had speed, too, thanks to several tunes of flat-12 engines over the course of its racing life. In the early '70s, Porsche was a dominant force throughout sports-car competition, and the 917 (shown above at the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona) was the tip of that spear, including back-to-back victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Largely without dialogue or really much of a traditional plot, Le Mans is like a tone poem of racing goodness. While the 917's importance to motorsports history is undoubtedly fascinating, it's still this cinematic depiction of the Porsche racer that draws me in most, especially with the volume cranked. – Chris Bruce Associate Editor 1964 Mini Cooper S How could everyone not be selecting the 1964 Mini Cooper S piloted by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon? That car, 33 EJB, took the first of British Motor Corporation's four Monte Carlo Rally wins (it should have been five, but French judges got the British Minis [and Fords] disqualified on a technicality regarding headlights... which its own car, the winning DS, was also in violation of). The tiny red car and its white roof beat out Ford Falcons, Mercedes-Benz 300SEs and scores of Volvos, Volkswagens and Saabs. This, along with the several years of dominance that followed, cemented the idea that not only could the tiny, two-tone Mini be a real performance vehicle, but that family-friendly city cars in general could be fun.
