Lately, Audi has done a good job giving its German-based rivals, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, a run for their Euro. The products are well engineered, attractive and a blast to drive. Audi vehicles also rank high in terms of value, which also attracts plenty of attention. At first blush, the shape of the new A4 appears to closely copy that of the 2008 model. You'll find the same open-mouth egg-crate grille that gives the car its road-hugging hunkered-down look. But the new car is nearly five inches longer, two inches wider and the distance between the front and rear wheels has been extended by 6.5 inches. The bigger body actually knifes more... // Memphis Commercial Appeal 16/08/2008 02:48 Ch-Ch-Changes: 2009 Audi A6, A6 Avant Cars.com
Coming down the road you’ll notice the new LEDs rung around the bottom of the headlights, much like on the A6’s smaller, redesigned A4 sibling and Audi’s R8 supercar.

October 2008. The UK unit has also added an RS 6 saloon to its range to complement the existing Avant (wagon) version - deliveries begin in November. New engine range highlights include a 290PS supercharged petrol three-litre TFSI unit, which effectively replaces both the 3.2 FSI V6 and the 4.2 V8, and a new 136PS two-litre TDI diesel with common rail fuel_injection with piezo injectors. As with the new Volkswagen Golf range, This replaces the 140PS pump jet (PD) injection engine and a 170PS version will be available later in 2008.

engines and technologies that will cut fuel consumption by about 15
per cent across the model range, along with improved suspension and
new high-tech assistance system. The revamped model will be

Audi released photos and details of the updated A6 this week, describing its more efficient engines, improved suspension tuning and upgraded Multi-Media Interface (MMI) controller. The obvious changes come up front, where Audi's single-frame grille is flanked by a reshaped bumper that puckers more like that on the 2009 Audi A4 . The air vents and fog lights have been reshaped, and new xenon LED daytime running lights are faired into the headlamp shape. Dynamic and adaptive lighting is an option on the new A6; the taillamps have been restyled, as well.

Audi hasn't confirmed any plans to sell the new RS 6 in America, but it has released all the details on it prior to a public appearance at the Moscow auto show , and then the more widely attended Paris auto show this fall. The new RS 6 has had the equivalent of a heart transplant, ditching the V-8s of lesser A6 derivatives for a 5.0-liter V-10 with twin turbocharged and quattro all-wheel drive. Audi says it draws 580 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the engine, which it teams with a six-speed automatic transmission with quicker shift reflexes. Quattro, in this setting, gets its power biased toward the rear for more agile handling. Audi promises acceleration to 60... // TheCarConnection.com 13/08/2008 05:06 580PS Audi RS 6 saloon ushers in new A6 range Easier

Drive we did. A full review is in the works, but at first blush the redesigned A4 is worth a look in a segment jam-packed with excellent cars. It isn’t as dynamic at the limits as a BMW 3 Series or an Infiniti G35, but for most people it certainly ought to be playful enough — and as a daily driver it stands out above... // Cars.com 13/08/2008 01:09 New Audi A6 CARkeys
The new A6 is recognisably different from the current one thanks to a series of styling changes both inside and out, but the big news is Audi's thorough revamp of the engine line-up. For example, the 3.2 FSI V6 and 4.2 V8 petrol engines have both gone, to be replaced by a supercharged three-litre TFSI. This has close to the power of the 4.2, with a maximum of 286bhp giving 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155mph, but it also uses less fuel on the combined economy cycle than the old 3.2 did, with an official figure of 30mpg. There's also a new two-litre turbo diesel which produces 134bhp and is so economical that Audi has given it the "e" branding first... // CARkeys 13/08/2008 00:01 All-new Audi A6 range New Car Net

Audi sold more than 45,000 A4s in the United States in 2007, accounting
for about half of the company's total sales here. So when Audi
introduces an all-new A4 for 2009, both Audi and its dealers know
there's a lot at stake. Not surprisingly, Audi hasn't strayed that far from the successful formula that has guided the model since its introduction in 1995: Attractive styling, good performance, the optional Quattro all-wheel-drive system and a price on par with its two leading competitors, the BMW 3-Series and the... // Orlando Sentinel |
