About the Audi S6 C7
The C7-generation Audi S6 marked a significant shift for the nameplate, replacing the previous generation's Lamborghini-derived V10 with a more efficient and tuneable 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. This engine features cylinder-on-demand technology, allowing it to run as a V4 under light loads for improved fuel economy. Despite its understated 'sleeper' appearance, the S6 delivers supercar-rivalling acceleration thanks to its Quattro all-wheel-drive system and rapid S tronic dual-clutch transmission. It remains a favourite for collectors seeking a refined daily driver that balances luxury with immense tuning potential.
