Audi's A6 returns for 2009 as the company's full-size offering, with a
number of different models giving performance, luxury and versatility
in a streamlined package.
A range of engines are available, starting with the 3.2-liter V6
offered in the front-wheel drive A6 sedan, making 255 horsepower and
achieving an estimated 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. The big news
this year is the new 3.0T supercharged V6, which makes 300 horsepower
and is available in both A6 sedan and Avant wagon configurations. It
utilizes direct injection as well as a roots-style supercharger with
two contra-rotating 4-vane shafts, delivering a maximum boost of 11.5
psi through twin water-to-air intercoolers. The 4.2-liter 350-hp V8
also returns as an option on the sedan, and the S6 again comes with a
version of the 5.2-liter V10 used in the Lamborghini Gallardo, which
makes 435 horsepower.
The 3.2-liter V6 comes with Audi's front-wheel drive system, known
as FrontTrack, as well as Audi's Multitronic electronically-controlled
continuously variable transmission. The 3.0-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8
in the A6 and the 5.2-liter V10 in the S6 come standard with a
Tiptronic manually-shiftable 6-speed automatic and the legendary
Quattro all-wheel drive system, and a Dynamic Shift Program offers over
200 different shift programs to suit a wide variety of drivers. Quattro
has been reworked slightly for 2009, having been adjusted to send 60%
of engine torque to the rear wheels and 40% to the front.
European models are again offered with Audi's air suspension
system, but that feature has been dropped in U.S.-delivery models for
2009, replaced by larger-diameter shocks and revised spring rates to
help smooth out ride quality over a variety of surfaces.
