The new Audi A6 Avant

Audi is adding a new chapter to the success story of the Avant: the new Audi A6 Avant represents a unique blend of design and dynamism, driving pleasure and functionality. With countless innovations, a high standard of comfort and luxurious equipment, the Audi A6 Avant is poised to extend its lead within its competitive field.

Powerful TDI and petrol engines with up to eight cylinders and 246 kW (335 bhp) maximum output are the source of the new A6 Avant's supremacy. Front-wheel or quattro permanent four-wheel drive ensure that the engine's power is always translated reliably into traction. Power which, thanks to the advanced suspension design and very rigid bodyshell, opens up new horizons in driving dynamics.

The high quality of the materials and finish is typical of Audi interiors. A distinctively sporty flair and ergonomic perfection characterise the interior, and the driving area's architecture seems to surround and integrate the driver.

The load area of the new A6 Avant likewise radiates sophistication and innovation. An ingenious securing concept with a large number of clever configurations permits an unprecedented level of versatility and variability.

Orders for the new Audi A6 Avant can be taken from November 10, 2004.
The first cars will be delivered in March 2005.

AUDI A6 LE MANS EDITION COMMEMORATES MILESTONE TDI RACE WIN

Exclusive limited edition A6 3.0 TDI quattro model celebrates first ever Le Mans victory for the diesel-powered Audi R10 TDI

• Commemorative version of A6 3.0 TDI quattro limited to 1,000 right-hand-drive examples

• Now available to order in Saloon and Avant forms priced at £34,575 OTR and £35,845 respectively. First deliveries expected in September

• Based on performance-oriented A6 S line specification, and adds 19-inch alloy wheels, Luxury Pack including full leather upholstery and unique paint colour schemes

The spoils of a milestone victory for Audi TDI power in the 2006 Le Mans 24-hour marathon race can now be enjoyed in the new limited edition A6 Le Mans Edition, a commemorative version of the potent A6 3.0 TDI quattro boasting a unique and especially lavish specification for a price premium of just £115. Restricted to just 1,000 right-hand-drive examples, the new A6 3.0 TDI quattro Le Mans Edition is now available in Saloon and Avant forms priced at £34,575 OTR and £35,845 OTR respectively.

To mark the moment when Le Mans was conquered by diesel power for the first time in its 74-year history in the Audi R10 TDI sports prototype, this new special edition model has appropriately been based on the sporting S line version of the A6 3.0 TDI quattro. The already striking S line specification, which includes exclusive S line front and rear body styling, is further enhanced externally in the A6 Le Mans Edition by 19-inch 7-arm double spoke alloy wheels adopted from the RS 4 quattro and standard metallic or pearl effect paint. Inside, the addition of a Luxury Pack, normally costing £975, brings full Volterra leather upholstery and heating for the front sports seats, rear acoustic parking and upgraded interior lights using LED technology.

A6 Le Mans Edition specification also includes S line sports suspension lowered by 30mm, an upgraded braking system, cruise control, S line decorative facia inlays in brushed aluminium, a three-spoke S line sports steering wheel and the Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) controlling a 10-speaker audio system with CD changer. Specified individually, the additional equipment added to the A6 Le Mans Edition would cost in excess of £2,300, but in this exclusive model it carries a premium of just £115.

An advanced common rail fuel injection system, a close relative of which is installed in the R10 TDI prototype’s V12 engine, maximises performance and operating efficiency in the road-going 3.0-litre V6 TDI powering the A6 Le Mans Edition. With 233PS at 4,000rpm and 450Nm of torque from just 1,400rpm it quickly reveals the qualities that helped to create a Le Mans-winning diesel engine, delivering 0-62mph acceleration in 6.9 seconds and, where permissible, a top speed of 153mph, yet doing so with 35.3mpg capability and refinement befitting an Audi executive saloon.

World’s first purpose-built diesel

Not surprisingly, the slightly less cosseting R10 TDI sports car features the most powerful member to date of the Audi TDI family, which is also notable as the world’s first purpose-built diesel racing engine. The 5.5-litre V12 is the first Audi TDI to be built around an all-aluminium block - a new departure that could very easily become a production reality – and with the help of common rail fuel injection technology and two Garrett turbochargers delivers 650PS and an even more formidable 1,100Nm of torque.

Head of Engine Technology at Audi Sport, Ulrich Baretzky, indicated recently that lessons learned on the circuit in the ongoing development of the R10 TDI are likely to significantly accelerate advances in the road-going Audi TDI engine range. "We are still relatively close to the findings of our colleagues from production since we are breaking completely new ground in motorsport. However, this will change. I believe to be able to share the things that we developed specifically for motorsport with production in the future,” he said. The Audi TDI range is currently headed by the 4.2-litre, 326PS V8 TDI powering the A8 Saloon.

so no improved engine specs? a bit of a rip-off then

[kentuki]

ehhhhh anything different? :S

You weren't seriously expecting them to actually put any effort into it were you?



World’s first purpose-built diesel

Errr... what have all diesels been up untill now then? :confused:

[henk4]

Errr... what have all diesels been up untill now then? :confused:

randomly put-together pieces of metal

[Clique]

just a marketing ploy...release a 'limited edition' and watch the punters role in and buy it thinking they are getting something special even though its just a standard A6 with similar rims to the RS4...

[NuclearCrap]

Actually that isn't bad at all, the price barely changed. :)

[McReis]

Marketing over function... again.
One more reason to dislike Audi.

[NSXType-R]

What's the point?

[Ferrer]

It's not the first time and won't be the last. And this isn't the only manufacturer in the world to do it. There are much better reasons to hate Audi like making cars with ugly big grilles and nicking Lamborghini engine for example... ;)

[Rockefella]

I actually like Audi's new grille.*

Then you're going to like Fiat's new Panda Sport...

;)

Thanks for reminding me. :D
Personally there's even better reason than that. It was an Audi that made my uncle not buy a Jaguar V8... :p

[NSXType-R]

Then you're going to like Fiat's new Panda Sport...

It's not that big...

[Ferrer]

It's not that big...
Probably. But what exactly was wrong with the original arrangement?

[McReis]

Probably. But what exactly was wrong with the original arrangement?
It was nice looking. And probably they thought it shouldn't. :)
Coming up with new looks for such a recent car, must mean something.

[Ferrer]

Well apparently the Panda is going to recieve a facelift in 2007, possibly the sport will be preview the changes (such as this new big and ugly grille).

[Street_Dreamer]

One picture of the A6LeMans edition because the only other picture in the thread isn't that great either (though better than this, obviously). Looks the business and Waugh, get your dad to buy one of these. Audi dealerships are up to their ears in them and can't shift em, so you'll get a very good deal - as i said, haggle hard!

[Waugh-terfall]

Hopefully next year we shall have one, Avant :D

It'll make my Dad's business partner cry again :D

[McReis]

Hopefully next year we shall have one, Avant :D
Do you really think we are all that interested on what's the next car Mr. Terfall will buy?
Stop spamming with that kind of irrelevant posts!

[Waugh-terfall]

Waugh actually, and if you read StreetDreamer's post, it might just make sense.

[McReis]

Waugh actually, and if you read StreetDreamer's post, it might just make sense.
It stops making sense when you keep saying the same thing over and over and not always about the same car.

[Waugh-terfall]

Yeah, I see what you mean there, My Father keeps changing his mind but I think he's finally set on one of these...

[McReis]

Ok. Thanks for keeping us updated, but now mention that issue again only when he has actualy bought something.

[henk4]

some members here want to be kept informed say every minute about any significant developments in this very important thinking process

[jediali]

haha. i dont see any V12 audis? otherwise we have discussed this :D ;)

I'll admire audi more once they start putting the engine within 2 miles of the cars COG (except R8)

[henk4]

haha. i dont see any V12 audis? otherwise we have discussed this :D ;)


no they use a W12:)

[jediali]

no they use a W12:)

That lambo V12 deserves to be in the LP640 and nothing else.

don't worry i wouldnt be surprised if a W12 went into the murcie replacement, then i will cry.

I think Ferrer meant the Audi V6/8/10 production line that serves audi and lambo gallardo.

What I actually meant is that I'm not very interested if this version is just a marketing gimmick or not. I won't hate Audi for that.

On the other hand putting that grille on all of their cars, making Lamborghini look tame and german, making Bentleys nothing more than tarted up Volkswagen, tarnishing the Bugatti name with a car as stupid as the Veyron or completely mismanaging Seat are in my opinion much better reasons to hate Audi, than if they do some pointless special edition.

[Waugh-terfall]

Aaaah, Lamborghini will stop using Audi items as of this year, they'll start using their own bespoke aircon stuff and SatNav systems etc.

[Ferrer]

I'm not worried about that. It's actually insignificant. I'm muxh more worried that their cars have been with German precision and character, and that's bad. I want Lamborghinis to be flamboyant, noisy, shouty, extravagant and with doors that open vertically. With Audi all the lairyness has gone, and for Lamborghini that's bad. Lamborghini needs to be truly italian.

Well done Audi.

All those Lambo owners whose cars always start and can be driven on hot days must be so angry and disappointed at Audi.

[F1_Master]

What are you on about? That doesn't start til' the next model, or 2010. The LP640 and Gallardo will continue to use Audi-built materials.

[Ferrer]

All those Lambo owners whose cars always start and can be driven on hot days must be so angry and disappointed at Audi.
Of course. Lamborghini are made to break every 50 metres. What did you think?

Now seriously, of course the reliability is welcomed, but not at the expense of character.

[McReis]

All those Lambo owners whose cars always start and can be driven on hot days must be so angry and disappointed at Audi.
That might not be exactly the true. Read about Simon's Murcielago at EVO Fast Fleet and then tell me something about reliability. The car is constantly needing attention and he spends the value of a Focus every 3 months or so. :)
I do know he uses it almost everyday and that does a lot of track-days, but even so owning one will always be a scary perspective, even for the very, very rich.

But that's an old-school Lambo. I think the Gallardo would actually be more telling of what Audi has done to Lambroghini.

And we are going seriously off-topic again.

[Waugh-terfall]

Oh, I read somewhere about that, I think in Evo, I thought it a little odd to suddenly change all the little bits, I'll look it up.

[McReis]

But that's an old-school Lambo. I think the Gallardo would actually be more telling of what Audi has done to Lambroghini.

It's not really old-school for me. The last Diablo was just partly Audi's reinvention. The Murcielago is a real VAG product from my point of view, though the engine is pretty much a Lamborghini genuine item.

And yes, we are going seriously off-topic and should shut up. :D

You know in your own statement you destroyed the validity of your argument. The engine is 100% Lamborghini. Disaster! :p

And yes I should shut up too... :D
