Audi S6: German precision, Italian passion

The Audi S6 comes with German precision and Italian precision. Who are we to argue? The Audi S6 is definitely one of our dream cars here.

The S6 is therefore aimed at the understated power executive not necessarily interested in making the loudest statement in every parking lot, but one who appreciates blowing the cobwebs out of drab everyday commutes with a little frenetic redline tickling every once in a while.

Should an S6 come up behind you on the road, those LED lights just below the normal headlights really stand out in your rear-view mirror. They are five small, loonie-sized lighted circles on each side that represent the 10 cylinders that are making all this power, as well as reinforcing the circular theme of the Audi logo at the same time. Brilliant work, those bits, and it really gives the S6 a unique face when turned on.

The car is so luxury-car quiet while tooling around town, the six-speed automatic transmission doing a masterful job of shielding the driver and passengers from any uncivilized jerkiness, that your first stomp on the right pedal brings about unexpectedly startling acceleration.

Bavarian refinement plus lusty Italian passion equals S6; that's the kind of automotive equation worthy of a few extra years of post-secondary study.
