Audi S6: Driven!

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

The guys over at Fourtitude got their hands on the 2007 Audi S6. Lucky, they are.

Outwardly, it’s easy to be smitten with the S6. The current generation A6 is already a great looking car to start with. Like the original S-cars, this new S6 benefits from subtle changes over the A6, Audi added several design elements that are now trademarks of all S-cars in the range. This includes a gray grille accented with subtle chrome struts (or vertical slats), satin silver exterior rearview mirrors, a subtle blended spoiler lip moulded into the lid of the trunk and similar aerodynamic kit to lesser A6 S-line models. However, the S6 goes a step beyond the A6 S-line with a unique front spoiler, including integrated daytime running lights containing 5 LED bulbs on each side, said to represent the 5-cylinders on each bank of the car’s powerplant. The DRLs are a menacing thing to behold via the rearview mirror of any car the S6 might be overtaking and bestow this mid-sized S-car with a look like no other.
