If that is not a wolf in sheep's clothing? Sure, the S6 logo must be, as well as the four tailpipes. But may non-specialists recognize the S6 in the double chrome strips and the partially chrome-plated mirror housing? Some sports fans find it simply too quiet. It seems to make every effort, not to attract attention. An example may be the active engine mountings.

Whether this includes the possible shutdown of half of its cylinders? This driving situation is monitored by microphone monitoring in order to counteracts noise disturbances by the in-house sound system accordingly. His predecessor had even ten cylinders, of course, without shutdown.

However, the main reason for understatement is that the S6 also exists as Avant, a tradition that Audi once founded. Already in 2004 there was the limited edition RS6 plus, which was practically only available as Avant. Meanwhile, the RS model has lost its ten cylinders, too, but can still come up with 412 kW (560 hp) and 445 kW (605 hp) and allegedly 100 kg less..

The result then with dynamic package plus and up to 305 km/h: the fastest relocation facility in the world. However, not quite so comfortable, because the suspension is designed sportier and a controllable damping is for the high-performance 6er not available, even not for a surcharge. So you can realize how fast even today, a top car can grow old. 10/17
