The Audi A6 gets a touch of Vorsprung durch Technik

Audi has released specifications and figures for the all new Audi A6; the new A6 has been completely redesigned using Audi’s most advanced lightweight construction techniques. Audi has added impressive engine options for the A6, which promise to be powerful yet highly fuel efficient and have low CO2 levels.

The new engine options include, a 2.0-litre TDI 177bhp, 3.0-litre TDI 204bhp, 3.0-litre TDI 245bhp and 3.0-litre TFSI 300bhp all the power plants make use of advanced direct injection technology for the leanest possible fuel burn rate. The new engines work in conjunction with important technologies from the Audi's modular efficiency platform - the start-stop system, the energy recovery system and the innovative thermal management concept. As a result, fuel economy has improved by up to 19% compared to the previous model, pushing the Audi A6 to the front of the class in this discipline.

Just like the old A6 the new one will have an array of transmission choices, depending on which engine model is chosen the transmission option includes a manual six-speed transmission or continuously variable multi tronic CVT for front-wheel-drive models, and the new seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission for the Quattro models.

 The new A6 showcases Audi’s advancements in the driver aid category, the new A6 will have the option of having a night vision assistant employing a thermal imaging camera to highlight 'warm-blooded' road users in front of the car, a head-up display projecting key information onto the windscreen so that it appears to float about 2.5 metres ahead and a park assist system which automatically takes care of the steering function for the driver when manoeuvring into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces.

I’m sure Audi Parts in East London will be able to provide the full list of optional extras available on the new A6. Starting prices for the new A6 will be around £30,145.
