New 2010 Audi S6

Sweet lines express the performance intent of the sports-tuned suspension and ferocious V-10 power wrapped inside the 2010 Audi S6.

A stunning 435-horsepower, 5.2-liter V-10 with FSI direct injection technology lurks beneath the sculpted hood, and delivers torque through a six-speed automatic transmission the Quattro all-wheel drive system. All of 60 percent of the power is sent to the rear wheels, for optimum dynamic driving satisfaction. This powertrain yields 14 mpg around town and 19 mpg on the highway. Horsepower and fuel economy slot in between BMW’s 550 and M5 sedans, and in between the two most powerful engine offerings on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Outside, the 2010 Audi S6 is menacing, with an aggressive stance, low-profile tires wrapped around 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, and body lines that say “I want to go fast.” Open the door of the S6 and enter a world dressed in supple leather, available accents of metal alloy, leather and wood on the doors and the dashboard, aluminum paddle shifters and the steering wheel in leather. Seat options include Silk Nappa leather sport seats, and Milano leather non-sport seats.

Your thermal comfort is assured by dual zone climate control and heated seats both front and rear. The S6 will help you find your way using its navigation system with Audi’s Multi Media Interface and voice controls, aided by a spectacular 3D map graphics display on the seven-inch LCD screen. Bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights brighten your path, while a five-channel, 255-watt BOSE audio system and its nine speakers will stir your soul.

A rearview parking camera and Audi Side Assist blind spot warning system shed some extra light on obscure situations so you can park and merge with greater confidence and safety. Adaptive front headlights can pivot up to fifteen degrees to brighten the field of vision where the driver needs it, as determined by vehicle speed and steering input. A flock of airbags surrounds occupants in case of impact, while Audi’s advanced aluminum space frame provides an unparalleled safe structure. The identical A6 platform (save powertrain alterations) received a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, so you can ride at ease.

Exotic V-10 power, sumptuous interior garments and refined luxury features make the 2010 Audi S6 a dream ride.
